The elements of Renaissance Humanism include education, potential success for everyone, the importance of ancient and modern ideas, individual success is more important than social class and questioning everything. I am partially a humanist because I agree with the ideas of education, the importance of ancient and modern ideas, the success of the individual is more important than your social class, and you should question everything. On the other hand, I disagree with the idea that all people can achieve success because of the difference in opportunities that people have. For example, if a peasant were working as hard as he could he still would not be as successful as a person who was working just as hard but was born into the position of being a Nobel. On the contrary the idea of, the success of the individual is more important than your social class I agree with even though it sounds similar to being able to everyone having the potential to be successful no matter what, because a successful peasant who was able to teach himself how to read and write will be more successful than a Nobel who never learned how to read and write, and failed to maintain their land. I strongly believe in the idea of education. Without education there would be no way to learn how to read, write, think, and question. These are all Important skills that lead to living a life worth living. The importance of ancient and modern ideas is vastly spread across the world today. If you think about life as a ladder and the only way to climb it is through learning. Everyone can climb a latter, but not everyone can add another ring for others to climb. Without ancient ideas, everyone would be starting on the ground having to build their own ladder by discovering new ideas. You should question everything. Not everything is true, and religion uses ideas based on beliefs not facts. Day-to-day life is full of lies and misleading paths. And the only way to get through is to question everything. Overall, I Am not a humanist even though I believe most of their ideas.
