__//**Rebirth of Ideas**//__ This is a new way of thinking to start in northern, Italian city-states. Greek and Roman civilizations hadn’t been forgotten in the middle ages. Classical civilization had further developed knowledge, in science, math and medicine. Everyone can achieve amazing things through their learning. Latin the language of the Romans, remained the churches and the scholars language. During the renaissance, educated people started looking at ancient works in a different way. The renaissance people admired eloquent writing styles of ancient writing. They also started getting interested in their ideas about society, politics, history, and the arts. The renaissance worldview was a result of inter cultural contact with earlier civilization. The Greeks and Roman civilizations formed the Classical Civilization. Islamic civilization preserved knowledge of the Classical civilization and the further developing in it. The humanist ideas were mainly spread among only the wealthy, that lived in the society. Most of the cultures have rules that they have to behave, as well as they have to follow them. unlike the Anishinabe, they have a religious organization called Midewewin and theres is called the " code for long life and wisdom" it told people how to live a long life. - Some of them are that they have to thank Kitche Manitou for all his gifts. - Honor the age, in honoring them, you honor life and wisdom. - Honor life in all its forms, your own will be sustained. - Honor women, in honoring women, you honor the gift of life and love. - Honor promises, by keeping your word, you will be true. - Honor kindness, by sharing the gifts you will be kind. - Be peaceful, through peace, all will find the Great Peace. - Be courageous, through courage, all will grow in strength. Be moderate in all things, watch,listen and consider, your deeds will be prudent.



Most cultures have rules or commandments set, that guide people’s behavior. All renaissance thinkers and artists had a belief in the dignity and potential, of individuals. They believed that all people could re-shape their lives though efforts and talents. That if you develop one's talents was to serve God; because God provided you with the talents. It was very important for everyone to have an open. curious, and questioning mind. Francesco Petrarch was a humanist thinker of the early renaissance, and saw the Classical past as a glorious time. He believed it was superior to both the medieval world (Dark Age). The time in which he lived, He wrote: "Among the many subjects that interested me, I dwelt (reflected) especially upon antiquity, for our own age has always repelled me ...In order to forget my own time, I have constantly striven to place myself in spirit and other ages, and consequently I delighted in history". Later humanist began to see that a glorious time, "renaissance" and all the ideas and values of the ancient times were "reborn".
