Pick five of the following ten terms, and provide a brief paragraph (approximately 200 words) defining each one. Your paragraphs should be grammatical, clearly written, and well organized. Each one should endeavour to accomplish four basic things: place the term in some kind of context, or explain where it comes from; provide an explanation of its basic meaning and significance; relate it to the overall theme of the unit, namely modernity and the modern world; provide a relatively unique interpretation or evaluation of it.
Importantly, we are not interested in the generic meaning of the terms, or a dictionary definition. Rather, we are interested in how the terms have been discussed and explained in this unit – in the lectures, the readings, and the tutorial discussions. A generic definition unrelated to the unit content will not do well. Your definitions should also display a genuine engagement with the readings. You should refer to specific texts, and, when appropriate, quote them directly.
If a term is in quotation marks (as in ‘What is Enlightenment?’) that refers to the title of a text or a reading.
‘What is Enlightenment?’

In the 17th century through 18th century, characterized by sudden and extreme rebellions in science, philosophy, society and politics; these rebellions swept away the middle Ages world-view and ushered in the modern western world. Kant explains that the immature person is so because he lets other people decide or support him end up with dependent on help from others so much so that acting and thinking your own becomes something problematic (Barbour, 2016).

Although you have considered the set passage paragraph by paragraph, your analysis of what occurs is fairly basic at best and there is little attempt to contextualise the passage into the book as a whole. My main concern however is with your written English. There are too many problems in that area for me to go over here adequately, and I believe you need assistance (which I shall request) with that aspect of your work. Also please revisit the guidelines for MLA referencing before assessment 2.
