In terms of humanism, I agree and disagree at the same time. I like how it encourages independent thought and focuses on what people are capable of. However, there are also times when it emphasizes working alone too much. Collaborating with others and belonging to a community are equally significant, in my opinion. Even while learning new things is good for us, it is important to appreciate our past even more. I suppose I am in the middle when it comes to humanism—I recognize its benefits, but I also want to balance it with other things that are important to me. From the paintings to the ideas, and of course how we have a humanities unit around this, we can see how important the renaissance was to life today. https://kids.britannica.com/students/article/humanism/274981
