1-During the time of the renaissance people learned to question the church and their beliefs; the church no longer explained everything therefore people questioned what they had been told and created their own explanations.
2-Culture was flat and rarely changed while when the renaissance came around culture changed greatly and became more eccentric.
3-During the renaissance focus became less on the richer and higher class. A new form of class was created for the average human. The average man or peasant was more popular and common.
I feel that food surplus was the most important change during the renaissance. The surplus of food allowed people to make new inventions because not everyone had to work to keep themselves fed. More people were able to invent things like the printing press. This lead to the words of the bible to be spread to everyone not just the high class. The food surplus lead to more food available for trade. In order to trade they had to create trade routes which lead to the spreading of culture. Water routes were created so that more areas were available to trade to. Essentially food surplus lead to everything else that happened in the renaissance. The availability to new cultures lead to musical, spiritual, artistically and cultural changes.
Culture was flat and rarely changed while when the renaissance came around culture changed greatly and became more eccentric. As a food surplus was created more trade areas were available and cultures were opened. The rapid changes in all areas like art, food, and religion created a rapid change in the culture of the time. The availability of new foods and cultures formed the culture of the renaissance. The period of the new ages was formed because of the constant changes around them. Things like a food surplus allowed people to have more free time to create new inventions. The more open and blending cities allowed cultures to be spread from one area to the next. This molded the changes of the time.
Ptolemy created the idea that the earth was at the center of the universe. he believed that everything evolved around us. This theory started the renaissance. Many other scientists based their theories of this idea. Many scientists still use the Ptolemaic theory as a basis or example of what has happened scientifically. The article below states that the Ptolemaic theory was believed for many years. Over the years scientists have changed this theory and currently we believe that the sun is at the center of the earth. http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/opinion/consensus-can-be-sciences-worst-enemy/story-fn558imw-1225967872077
There are many life changing experiences that I have encountered throughout my life. Probably one of the hardest things i have gone through in my life was when I had to put my dog down. His name was smudge and we had had him for a few years. We may have only had him for a short time but i loved him more than anything. A year before we put him down he got paralyzed. We kept and took care of him for a year while he was paralyzed. It was a Friday night when we came home to his smiling face. He was the happiest person when we came home. Something was off that night we came home to him just sitting by his food bowl. He didn't come over to great us he just sat there. We knew that something was wrong. We quickly rushed him to the vet and learned that he was paralyzed. They said that a surgery could fix him. He got the surgery and after a year he still didn't get better. It was getting harder and harder to take care of him and we felt it was better to put him down. He was the first dog that I ever had. I truly loved him and still to this day miss him. I have begged for years for a new dog but the answer is always that we are too busy. This experience taught me to be strong. It taught me how to deal with the loss of someone you really care about. I used what I learned in the following year when my uncle passed. Each tragic event I have experienced has taught me to be stronger and helped me to deal with the following losses. I miss him more than anything but I am glad that he was able to teach me how to be strong and move on. He also showed me all the support I have from my great friends and family. A friend of mine, Dillon Machavern, told me he would buy me a baby polar bear. This was the first thing he told me after I came back from putting my dog down. My entire class and friends were there for me when I lost my best friend, Smudge.
