How to use "Unenlightened" in context?
When we talk about Enlightenment, we often associate it with a high level of intelligence and enlightenment as to the nature of the universe and everything in it. This is not always the case. Anyone who has ever been to a second-rate university knows that there is a wide spectrum of intelligence and enlightenment. While a university with a high level of academic scholarship is likely to attract people who are highly intelligent and enlightened, there are also universities that offer rudimentary and even rudimentary courses on a variety of topics.
Another characteristic of Enlightenment that is often associated with it is the ability to see things in a new perspective, be it through creativity or understanding.
