The Renaissance is a period ranging from the 14th to the 15th century, during which people’s thoughts shifted dramatically in society. This infographic shows the key elements of humanism, the belief that people held during the Renaissance period. As shown, humanists uphold the importance of individualism, secularism, classical influence, education, and new discoveries/inventions. I strongly agree with the belief of individualism as I think it’s crucial to not judge a person by their class or background, what they achieve and accomplish should be prioritized. To make new inventions, quality education, and an open mind are important to success, therefore I go for the ideas of emphasizing education and encouraging new discoveries. I also agree with secularism, as I think the separation of religion and politics is a sensible decision. Individuals should be rational and live for their own sake, not because of some religious beliefs or their afterlife. Humanism is the “ancient and new” way of thinking as it can apply to our thinking today, the elements listed above are open-minded, innovative, and beneficial for our ideology as an individual.
