Imagine living in Europe as the Renaissance was beginning. What are some of the problems you might have? Can you think of ways to solve the problems?

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Some of the problems that I might have at the beginning of the Renaissance could have been the frequent attacks of the Catholic Church due to my ideas of freedom of speech, questioning the existence of a supreme god, and my constant search to find more and better truths to answer questions that in the past were only answered by the church's view and teachings.

Can you think of ways to solve the problems?

Yes, trying to inform and educate more people that the dark ages were gone. The Medieval Age was gone and that humans are able to use reason to learn new things, be free, and grow. The more people would learn to read and have access to education, the better. No more control through religious beliefs.

During the Renaissance, the Catholic Church was increasingly seen as a corrupt institution with too much power.

That is when the concept of "Humanism" was introduced, which meant more respect for the human being and his possibility to increase knowledge through reason.
