In terms of humanism, me as someone who lives in the 21st century, believe that most of it are correct, but how they were so firm on ideas. In my opinion, i agree to the point how people believed in individualism, in the point of view that church was taking too much role before individualism and made more freedom for everyone, but i also disagree because of how they were too independent by then, for me, I like collaborating and working with others. I definitely love how there were loads of outstanding artists back then, the Renaissance was marked by a revival of interest in classical antiquity and humanist philosophy. This shift encouraged artists to explore subject matter beyond religious themes and to focus on the beauty of human emotions, nature, and the human form. As then, they created many fantastic artworks, which is also why I believe art was one of the main reason that changed many people’s mind. Education has a huge relation and made impacts to us today, everyone now is allowed to be educated/go to school, this eventually started since humanism started as well, in the case that back in the dark ages the church had more control over it(I’m not religious so that also makes me more humanist). I agree that everyone should all have the right to be educated and learn. In addition, another point I think was a good move to today is how before in feudalism, people stick with what they are born to, and power really shows back then, but causing by individual rights, people started to make changes.
To conclude, i do believe that i am a humanist, I agree with many of the concepts that were brought up in Humanism. 🙂
