ORDER it by Paragraph by paragraph , or something .



Thankyou !How did innovation and reform during the Renaissance%26amp;the other are detailed, change life in Europe?the Renaissance was a cultural movement that spanned roughly the 14th to the 17th century, beginning in Italy in the Late Middle Ages and later spreading to the rest of Europe. the term is also used more loosely to refer to the historic era, but since the changes of the Renaissance were not uniform across Europe, this is a general use of the term.



as a cultural movement, it encompassed a rebellion of learning based on classical sources, the development of linear perspective in painting, and gradual but widespread educational reform. traditionally, this intellectual transformation has resulted in the Renaissance being viewed as a bridge between the Middle Ages and the Modern era. although the Renaissance saw revolutions in many intellectual pursuits, as well as social and political upheaval, it is perhaps best known for its artistic developments and the contributions of such polymaths as Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, who inspired the term %26quot;Renaissance man%26quot;.



there is a general, but not unchallenged, consensus that the Renaissance began in Tuscany in the 14th century. various theories have been proposed to account for its origins and characteristics, focusing on a variety of factors including the social and civic peculiarities of Florence at the time; its political structure; the patronage of its dominant family, the Medici; and the migration of Greek scholars and texts to Italy following the Fall of Constantinople at the hands of the Ottoman Turks.



the Renaissance has a long and complex historiography, and there has been much debate among historians as to the usefulness of Renaissance as a term and as a historical delineation. some have called into question whether the Renaissance was a cultural %26quot;advance%26quot; from the Middle Ages, instead seeing it as a period of pessimism and nostalgia for the classical age, while others have instead focused on the continuity between the two eras. indeed, some have called for an end to the use of the term, which they see as a product of presentism, the use of history to validate and glorify modern ideals. the word Renaissance has also been used to describe other historical and cultural movements, such as the Carolingian Renaissance and the Renaissance of the 12th century.How did innovation and reform during the Renaissance%26amp;the other are detailed, change life in Europe?Why did you wait till the last minute to start this? Have you even done *any* background research on the subject?



And you want total strangers to suddenly jump on this and do it all *for* you? From scratch? What's today's date? You don't respect any of us out here in Y!A-Land, do you?



Organize your thinking by organizing your research. Make columns. List the innovations and the reforms. Note what dates or decades each of them came about in.



Then note in the next column what social, political, etc, changes were the results of each item in the first column.



Proceed with your project from there.



And start earlier next time. It's really unfair to expect total strangers to do any research *for* you. Why should we spend more time than you do on getting you a good grade?How did innovation and reform during the Renaissance%26amp;the other are detailed, change life in Europe?I'll give you basics since I don't have much time.. sorry



Renaissance highlighted individualism and classicism. Classicism coming from the study of ancient texts of ancient greeks and romans. People who studied the classical texts and stressed individualism were called humanists. Humanists who studied the classical works focused on more secular views stressing own individualistic desires. Moreover the church was losing it's prestige. For example. Lorenzo Valla in his work Donation Of Constantinople proved that the pope forged a document. Politically, there were new monarchs who followed the theory of Machiavelli which can be illustrated in his book Prince which they believed that they had to be ruthless if it meant in order to put their best interests on the state.



Reformation:

as I was saying, the church was declining.

So a new revolutionary individual called Martin Luther started the Reformation. Appalled by the selling of indulgences of the church and all the corruptions of the church, he posted his 95 these on the church doors of Wittenburg Germany. Then other protestant groups such as the Calvinists began to form. Then there was a counter reformation to undo the Reformation where a distinct individuals called Jesuits fought to Christianize the lands that became Protestants.

In France Calvinists were called Huguenots.

In England, they were called Puritans.



Scientific Rev:



New way of thinking emerged.

People began to depend on science to prove subjects.

People began to believe that things in the world functioned in an orderly manner with one set of rules.

Salons ran by prestigious women were the place of scientific discussions where famous philosophes such as Voltaire came to debate and discuss. Other Philosophes such as John Locke spread his ideals of people having right to revolt which he stated in his book 2nd Treatise of Government. Other philosophes were Montagne and Rousseau
