Concept of the Enlightenment

They believed that human reason could be used to build a better world. I found that residents were asked not to return to the New Orleans because of Hurricane Gustav. I used this as an example for the concept of the Enlightenment because the government used reason and logic to come to a reasonable decision. The city was having continuous power problems along with flooding North of New Orleans. If the residents rush to move back they could face medical problems because city and state officials were struggling to get power to hospitals.
