After the optimism of the renaissance, neoclassical writers strived for structure, order, and balance. the cultural trend changed from the belief that people were naturally good to the belief that they were sinful. as a result, the writing of the neoclassical era favored a plain and modest style, choosing simple words and phrasings. imagine that you are in charge of directing cultural trends for the next 10 years. what would you change about the current culture in terms of literature? for example, how would you change the style, accessibility, and the ease with which you comprehend texts? what sorts of qualities would you like to see in literature or other forms of art? consider how you would guide the creation of these cultural changes, including what role current events and the government would play and how the market would promote your vision. also, think about other people’s agendas for cultural change and how yours differs.
