Renaissance
Sumera M. 1st
What was the change?
The change was from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance and the major change was that the Renaissance focused on the individual rather than everything focusing on the Church. Education also came back. During the Middle Ages people were illiterate and during the Renaissance people started learning again. Art work also changed because back then during the Middle Ages art work was only related to religion but during the Renaissance people became more open minded and all types or art work was accepted. The Renaissance also focused on Humanism which was focusing on human potential and achievements and started focusing on Greco Roman ideas again.
Who were the people associated with the change?
Medici Family
The Medici family owned a bank and after his bank had full authority and he became known as "Gods Banker". After Cosa became Pope he gave the Medici Bank full authority to handle money of the catholic church and then cosimo encouraged Giovanni to use some of the money to benefit art projects in Florence and that associated with the change because art was one part of the change.
Europeans
Europeans were the people associated with the change because it affected them because the people during the time period of the Renaissance were European people. The Renaissance was also started by European people because it began in Florence, Italy.
The Church
The Church was a major part of the change because it was no longer as important.
How did the change impact the society at the time?
The change from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance and it impacted the society because it was a huge change from people being connected to the church to almost no one being connected and how people actually started learning and how people became more open minded.
How is that change evidenced in todays modern society?
It has impacted our society because our lifestyle now a days is a similar way. For example, we all believe in going to Church but that is not the center of our society. Also, most of our art is influenced by the Renaissance art.
