8/8/2011 The Philosophy of Humanism changed people's perception of the world. This is because of the 3 main Aspects of Humans which is Individualism, Realism and Secularism. The 3 Aspects will show Philosophy of Humanism in the Renaissance what changed people's perception of the world. Humanism was the core Philosophy of the Renaissance. Individualism, Secularism and Realism are the three major themes of Humanism. These three things changed how people saw the world, and how they saw themselves, Humanism changed people's perception. Niccolo Machiavelli was an Individual person. Individualism is when each person should be free to develop and pursue his or her own goals. He wanted to pursue his own goals and ideas. He made ideas of the government. In medieval times the government was to administer Justice. Machiavelli studied ancient Rome thought the job of the government that should be the state's growth and expansion. Machiavelli thought that the government should not administer Justice but should judge them of the benefits of the state. Although Machiavelli was also a secular person, this is because he made nonreligious ideas. Machiavelli was questioning the government about judging the actions of the benefits of the state. Secularism is worldly, rather the religious in nature. There for Machiavelli did not do anything related to religion and there for he was a Secular person. Joan of Arc was an Individual person because of all the goals she set to do in the world. In the middle Ages there was a war between the England and France. Joan of Arc was a peasant and like all other peasants she was not able to read or write. She was a peasant that raised the C~ntral Government. She was a young womanthat helped bring about a remarkable reversal. She left her home in 1429 when she was 17. She set her own goals like when she decided to help the French win the war. Joan was captured in May 1430. The English army and the church accused her as a witch and a heretic, or one who speaks beliefs different from the accepted church opinion. Joan was only 19 when she died.
8/8/2011 Leonardo Da Vinci was a realistic person because he showed things as they exist naturally. He was the person who made the Mona Lisa. He was also a scientific thinker of his days. He was curious about how things worked. Because of his desire to learn he was an ideal Renaissance man. All his ideas were real and could be used in the future. With all his ideas and thoughts were the reasons of him being a realistic person. He had dreams that made him realistic. He had thought like what would happen if people were able to fly. He was also an Individual person because he made his own goal. He was also a secular person because he did things that were not related to religion. Cassandra Fedele was famous as a public speaker in Venice and a lecture at the University of Padua. Cassandra was a Secular person because the things that she did like speaking. This was not related to religion there for she was a secular person. Cassandra was also an Individual person. This is because she made and pursued her own goals. Her goal was to become a speaker and so she was an Individual. CONCLUSION With out Leonardo Da Vinci our perception would not be the same. When Leonardo had ideals, the present people on earth today have ideas like Leonardo did. Like when we watch movies there are cool gadgets and vehicles but without Leonardo our perception would not be like this and this is how the people in the Renaissancechanged people's perception. Without Joan of Arc we would not have the courage to fight for what we want. Without Machiavelli we would not have faith. Without the people in the Renaissance we would not be what we are today and the whole future would be different. When might not even have the technology and minds to make computers and finish projects. People in the Renaissance were great people and they made us what we are today. If it was not for them then maybe some people in this world may not exist. The people in the Renaissance were the reason that people's perception of the world changed.

When Isaac first attended the school his mother said he was not going to see her again so he was going to live with Mr. Clark who was a teacher in this school. Mr. Clark's son Arthur was the school bully. While Isaac was sitting down Arthur kicked Isaac. Isaac got so angry that he beat Arthur up and rubbed his nose against a church wall. Isaac finally graduated on 1665. Thenj1&.) one summer Isaac was sitting under a tree when Alice dropped an apple. (Alice was the apple tree in Isaat' s garden). Then the apple dropped on Isaac's head. Then he had some questions to ask himselflike: why did this apple fall? Maybe there's and invisible force pulling things to earth? Suppose the tree grew as high as the moon, would thlapple still fall? So why does the moon not fall to earth? And~BAM!!! He said "this must be GRA VITAS!!!"
