Answer 1

well the Enlightenment was during the Age of Reason...it placed an emphasis on reason, science or rationality.
this site may be helpful... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_Enlightenment
if you look at the very bottom it also has a bunch of links of related concepts...capitalism and democracy is included in this so thats part of your answer...
In terms of culture, it had an effect on the arts, philosophy, literature...especially poetry...
