In America and Western Culture today, how do the areas of education (university) and our forms of entertainment (literary, visual, performing arts)...

One of
the most important values of what many people consider Western culture is democracy. The
related rights of all humans, from ideas that were developed during and after the Enlightenment,
pertain to self-governance and the concomitant responsibility to be good citizens. In U.S.
universities, there are numerous departments and programs in which democratic ideals and
practices, and related concepts of civil rights and human rights, are usually taught. These
include history, the social sciences including political sciences and sociology, and
interdisciplinary programs such as American Studies and African American Studies. Within the
realm of entertainment, ideas about rights and democracy have recently received considerable
attention. The popularity of Lin-Manuel Mirandas musical, Hamilton, is
especially notable in this regard as few people predicted that a musical about the Founding
Fathers would become a smash hit.Its role in encouraging Americans to reflect on the early days
of the republic and the principles it embodied has become known as the Hamilton
effect.
