A philosophy was introduced during the Renaissance called Humanism; it focused on education, individual rights, spiritual focus, the exploration of classical ideas, and many other things like art. I feel like a humanist because I believe you can change your destiny and be acknowledged by working hard; you don’t have to be born into a wealthy family to do well in society. Another critical element of Humanism that applies to me is that I like to think about what I am taught and elaborate on that with my thinking instead of strictly following the teachings as people did in the Middle Ages. It was considered sinful for people to question the teachings because it would be regarded as breaking a law made by God. In addition, I am eager to learn about a wide variety of things, including classical ideas; I like working in groups and sharing my thoughts to create or generate ideas, just like humanists did.
