Social+Reform+Romanticism

​ **__Social Reform__** In the era of romanticism there were many changing ideas in the social view, many ideas and perspectives were changed because of the changing times and as a result the cultural norm shifted. nationalism, wants such as being closer to nature and a stronger affiliation to ones nation were very strong in the era of romanticism. the people in this time period wanted to be more free and become closer to nature and the simplicity that they veiwed themselves as. they valued passion over reason, an sintuition rather than intellect. the influences and ideas set in this time period still influence decades today and still have a lasting effect. [|Social Reform.pptx] The influences that the romanticism period left on us today are more present than you would think. the people of the time period wanted to escape from the scientific minds of the enlightenment period and become closer to nature. they wanted to enjoy the simplicity of things, take a step back and just enjoy something for what it is. not what it is comprised of or how it was created, the simplicity of it. and those ideas are still around today. in the 1950's and 1970's the hippie movement was the equilvilent of the romantic movement of the 20th century. their views were very similar of those in the romantic time period and those views still influence us today.
