I think I pretty much would have been a big humanist if I lived in the renaissance. I gave about full points on the 5 key points of how much of a humanist I am. I agree with humanists in individualism, where everyone has worth and potential and anyone can pursue anything they want. Before in the feudal society, you would be stuck where you were born, no changing. If you were born a peasant, you stayed a peasant. I also agree with the amount of freedom that humanists pursued. They wanted everyone be able to have original ideas, not to be defined by your religion or government. As well as their idea of advancing modern society. They, instead of forgetting the past, used excellent old ideas for architecture and art. But not only that, they also built on them. I think as well that that was an amazing advancement for our society, to build on old and new ideas. Another key element of humanism that I agreed with was education. After the printing press was invented, books could be easily printed and shared. During the middle ages, books were expensive and had to be handwritten. Humanists believed [and I agree] that everyone deserves to be educated and learn about the main subjects. So, in the end, I am a big humanist and I believe they worked for a good cause.
My poster explains the key elements that I picked up from a couple of websites:
