What is Change?

Man’s view of man was suddenly interfered by a long, seemingly endless period commonly known as, “The Renaissance”. In Europe, around the 14th century, there was a massive explosion of completely new advances in Science and Culture that was so great that it happen to change what humans thought of themselves and others lurking around them. In fact, the impact of this explosion was so tremendous that it has endured for centuries to come. The Renaissance is a rebirth of new art developed by us, humans (which was a real big thing back then), although, it seems more like an outburst of sudden ideas created by man and man themselves.

The Renaissance opened up a new view about art, literature, and astronomy and connected them closer with men. It proved many new theories and with the evidence supported, they highlighted the main importance of man in life and questioned the Catholic Church’s authenticity.
