  1. Social Reform Kevin Cornagie

  2. Culture ideas • As the romanticism era, many of the social values changed or shifted because of the influences in their normal life. • Influences such as: • Wars • Greater wealth • And an increase in connection for ones Nation.

  3. Causes • The idea of romanticism is rooted in German Pietism, or devotion to one’s religion • The people of the romanticism era wanted a change in the social values, such as pietism • They also disliked: • Industrialism • Urbanism • And population growth

  4. Wants • The people of the romanticism era wanted to: • Escape the growth of large cities • Put and emphasis on passion • More aesthetic experiences • But most of all they wanted to escape from the more ridged guide lines of the enlightenment era.

  5. Views • The put an emphasis on passion rather than reason. • Imagination and intuition rather than logic • So they preferred to trust their gut feeling rather than facts and intellect • They were strongly devoted to their nation and an increase of nationalism came as a result • They believed in intuition, imagination, and feeling, to a point that has led to some Romantic thinkers being accused of irrationalism.

  6. Nationalism • Strong belief in ones nation, and devotion to a nation’s culture. • An increase in folklore and cultural stories • It is the belief that the nation was born with its culture it was born or created with its customs and that is what makes their customs or culture better than the other nations’ • It formed its own type of nationalism called romantic nationalism

  7. Romantic Nationalism • Has specific characteristics: • Revolution • Folk culture increase • National language increase • National epics • And claims of superiority over other nations

  8. Today • The movement of romanticism seems to be on a continuating cycle, and has reappeared in history. • In the late 1950’s the hippie movement saw its start as a rebellion to the baby boomers and the strict parenting and rules. • The same basic free flowing thoughts were present….

  9. Today continued • The idea of passion and love and overall peace and freeness was the hippie’s philosophy. • Will this philosophy of romanticism continue to perforate through history, will it continue as this obvious shift in thoughts and feelings, or will it slowly melt into our everyday lives?

  10. Conclusion • Because of the romanticism movement there were many social reforms, people wanted to move away from the logical scientific minds of the enlightenment movement and wanted to become closer to nature. They wanted to think less seriously and valued passion over reason. • It inspired other movements like those of the hippie movements and the culture reforms of the romanticism era still influence us today.
