Question

List and discuss two- three (2-3) aspects of Renaissance life that you personally would have liked to have been involved in or experienced and WHY for each aspect. “Discuss” means to write two to three sentences about each aspect and at least one sentence about why.

Answer 1

Considering that the Renaissance was a period of rebirth of humanism and new discoveries in science, religion, literature, arts, among others; I would have enjoyed spending my time writing comedy and playwrights to be performed at theatre as they were very popular during this time. This literary genre replaced those plays which had enhanced morality as well as good manners. Writers started to move away from religious topics so as to highlight everyday matters. Besides, classical subjects and techniques affected the arts. During the Renaissance, three dimensional perspectives started to be developed in order to make landscapes as well as human people much more vivid and appealing.

Answer 2

I would have liked to be involved in the development of "Humanism". I share the belief that it is important to trascend in life by trying to improve intellectually and phisically every day. I also believe that education is the most powerful a society has in order to develop itself.

I would also have enjoyed to be involved in the development of "Heliocentrism". The model in which the Sun is the center of the system and all of the planets revolve around it. Altough they were tough times for Copernico, who proposed it, it was a crucial moment in history in which man realized it was not the center of the universe.
