Young Throughout the entry “Universities, governments and industry: Can the essential nature of universities survive the drive to commercialize?’’, the author Simon N. Young, speaks of how since the mid nineteen hundreds, university research has had much change. He speaks of positive changes such as more people attending universities to expand their knowledge, and then goes on to speak of negative changes such as industry and governments getting themselves involved within research. Having these governments and industries becoming involved in the research creates an atmosphere for universities to become more commercialized, therefore defocusing their research on the more needed, or
The Enlightenment The Great Awakening Two important movements that changed the 1700’s were the Enlightenment and the Great Awakening.

Both Shelley’s novel and Scott’s feature film are examples of texts that transcend the age they are created in – they serve as warnings to humanity about the dangers of scientific alteration of the natural cycle Shelley’s Frankenstein was composed during an era of rampant social and scientific change; although this change was not necessarily progress.

Helweg, (1997) explains that other cultures have made significant findings to the human race; i.e., the Hindus introduction of zero and the Muslins contributions to algebra. Christian also contributed an exclusive set of expectations required by science. Many Christians were not only scientist but researchers that validated that we existed in a methodical universe. They understood that revealing such knowledge would prove powerful in evidence that such a universe was shaped by a methodical
