who is the father of humanisum
Petrarch was called the father of humanism because he taught the people of the renaissance how to be "human" in other words how to enjoy life by dancing, being creative, or being curious without having to worry about not following the rights of the bible or not being christian. Petrarch told them that they could be "human" and still be good Christian's. He introduced to them the importance of education and made people think about new things like different music and dances. Because Petrarch made everyone curious about inventing or being creative, now we have our modern dances like shuffling or jerking and music like rapping, have you ever heard the saying "curiosity killed the cat, and satisfaction brought it back"? Well in this case of the curiosity in the renaissance, we have our modern music, dances, and even clothe styles.
