Abstract
This paper examines how two eighteenth century artists, one a writer and one a painter, used satire in their respective sects of the humanities to point out criticisms they had regarding the society that they lived in. The author explains how Voltaire used his writing to poke fun of philosophers who believed that the present world is the best of all worlds, while Hogarth used art to criticize the dregs of British society.

From the Paper
"Voltaire was born Francois Marie Arouet into an upper middle class family that was on the rise. He was educated by the Jesuits. This Catholic education from the Jesuits heavily influenced Voltaire's writings. Another major influence in the writings of Voltaire was his time in jail. Voltaire was imprisoned twice; the second time in the Bastille in France. His writings landed him in jail and out of favor with the French government. The government would later end up as one of Voltaire's targets in his writings. The next big thing that inspired Voltaire to write his piece de resistance, Candide, was an earthquake in Lisbon, Spain. Between thirty and forty thousand people died in this earthquake and Voltaire could not force this event into the philosophy that was being taught by Gottfried William von Leibniz. "

"Prostitution, noted throughout recorded history, depicts the buying and selling of sexual services and favours, reportedly continues to reflect a part of the human condition. Evidence of prostitution is evident "in mythology, art, sculpture, drama, literature, music, and archaeological structures and ruins."
