Humanist values and where I stand
During the Renaissance, one of the main beliefs and philosophies people worshiped was humanism. This beliefs consisted of the ideas of human flourishing and the values of human dignity. Humanism believers or humanist promoted this idea and influenced other with it. The main values of humanism is Individualism. The idea of humanism it centered around individualism, the idea of separating one from the crowd as one unique individual. This is one of its main values humanism is centered around because humanists believed that human individual are capable of great accomplishment. I high aline with this value because I believe that emphasis personal freedom is very important. Secularism is also a very important value of humanism because it complement on importance of the diversity of education provide to citizens with out the bias of religion. I give this value of 4 because it is very important to have am unbiased education but at the same time, religion can teach us very powerful lessons as well. The importance of education to all is connects with the value of quality of education to all citizens. I give this a 5 because education and knowledge is most vital when it comes to being able to live in modern society. The value of citizens, connects to individualism but focuses more on the worth of the citizen themself rather than the capability of each. It is still equally as important and I give this value a 5. Lastly the study of ancient text. Humanist thought that the review of past text would help us with understanding and improving the present. I don’t really aline with this though however because usually study the same methods over tends to restrict the creativity of the present general although it can give us insight.
Overall, I rate my self 4/5 of a humanist.
