Renaissance man

the renaissance was a time when everything grew and improved. to be a renaissance you have to reach a high standard. but during the time of the renaissance that was most common.

the average renaissance man possessed great knowledge over many topics. during the renaissance everything bloomed, this included: science, literature, law, math, grammar, and culture. Leonardo da Vinci was the ultimate renaissance man. he was a scientist, inventor, painter, and musician. it is important for a man to have mental fitness since at the time of the renaissance that was a necessary thing to have. the reason why the renaissance made so many smart people is because they set their standards really high and he had to make a contribution to his community weather trough service or money.

importance of history

history is simple the study of time and what was in that time. and like and like James Joyce said "'History,' Stephen said, 'is a nightmare from which I am trying to awake.'" unfortunately we can never wake up since history is infinite. but why do we study it?


we need to have the record of past events, make a  timeline of evolution, uncover ideas and places that have been lost to the ages, and fossils we are trying to find. it can help us uncover historical mysteries that have been lost and forgotten that no one has enough evidence to solve. but why dose all this matter? it can help us learn from our mistakes and uncover hidden inventions that are still a mystery to us. it can help settle disagreement, it can benefit to other peoples culture and much much more. but sometimes its just for the fascination of our ancestry and their journey through the world.
