In order to see how education relates to human freedom the definition of education must be elaborated upon. Is education simply an "enlightening experience," a formal instruction with a giving of knowledge, or an enlightening experience from formal instruction? Education is all of those definitions and each one is a human freedom. I say this because in the book, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass , Frederick Douglass was at first able to have enlightening, but they were controlled by his master. Though his experiences are being limited to only a few things, he still has the right and freedom to have them. After he was educated to read and write, he was able to learn and experience books. Every time Frederick Douglass gained knowledge through his experiences it widened his range of possibilities. Education is a human freedom because it expands the boundaries in which you were previously limited to.

When one is literate they have access to an immense ocean of knowledge and this knowledge opens up one to a greater world then their own. Literacy is related to freedom because writing is a form of communication of ideas, and by being literate you have access to these ideas and sense of power over those who don't have the ability. Literacy is associated with knowledge and intelligence, which is associated with higher class people. When you are unable to read and write, you are thought as unintelligent, less then. Reading and writing is also a skill that has been kept away from people in history. This makes it also seem like a forbidden thing that the captors are keeping away from us. I think that this is slowly becoming false as more and more people become literate, instead of reading and writing being a part of freedom it will be more of a given skill or right for a person. The bigger freedom now, in a gradually completely literate world, would be the freedom of publishing one...

Why do you think slave families were separated? How did this benefit the masters and how did it affect the slaves? The masters of slaves separated the families of the slaves they owned because it helped create an image in their head that they were less then them and had full control over them. The separation of family allowed the masters to sell the slaves without the slaves having strong attachments to family. This greatly benefited the master because he would face no resistance from the slave or the slave's family since they basically never knew each other. This affected the slaves greatly. Without a mother and, sometimes, a master as their father they would face the world without a family to back them up. They would only be left with the fellow slaves and would never be able to have the bond of a family. If their father was there master, a slave would face further troubles through the masters wife and their father lashing them. This could lead to further physiological pro...

This painting is was painted in 1512 which is the same time the English renaissance was happening. They both share common characteristics because some ideas from that age affected all mediums of art, not just writing or painting. A characteristic writing during the English Renaissance and this painting share is a look back to the ancient Greek and Roman ways. The renaissance was a rebirth of the old ideas and this painting shows an ancient Greek god Poseidon.  This painting and the English Renaissance also have a link of Humanism because of the drift to Greek and Roman thinking.

The English Renaissance was an important time in the history of literature and it is during this time that William Shakespeare, widely regarded as the greatest poet in history, lived and worked. Characteristics of the English Renaissance writing are humanism, religion, and Iambic Pentameter Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? (Sonnet 18) William Shakespeare , 1564 - 1616 Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate. Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer’s lease hath all too short a date. Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, And often is his gold complexion dimmed; And every fair from fair sometime declines, By chance, or nature’s changing course, untrimmed; But thy eternal summer shall not fade, Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st, Nor shall death brag thou wand’rest in his shade, When in eternal lines to Time thou grow’st. So long as m...
