“Compare and contrast society during the early Renaissance in
Europe to contemporary society”
In the fourteenth and fifteenth century, Europe experienced
significant changes in history. This marked the rebirth and
intellectual growth of Europe since many changes were realized
during the people. Renaissance was the word used to describe
the rebirths that occurred. Renaissance marked the time of
significant changes in cultural, literature, philosophical, and art
revolution in other nations in Europe (Kaufman, 2012). The
change started in Italy and expanded to other areas in Europe.
During the early Renaissance, the society had unique
characteristics. However, after the occurrence of changes,
contemporary society or the current society was developed. The
contemporary society is also characterized by unique features
compared to the early Renaissance. However, the two types of
society are characterized by features that are similar, while
others are different. This research is guided by a thesis
statement indicating that similarities and differences between
the two spread across all aspect of life, including the education
system, cultural practices, and economic inventions, among
others.
According to Guarnieri and Negro (2012), the difference in the
two societies is marked by changes in the spread of knowledge
whereby during the early renaissance society information was
spread through handwritten forms. Renaissance left to the
invention of the printing press. This also reformed the education
system since in the ancient times, education was reserved for

2. the rich people, but the rebirth led to the middle class and low
classes are educated. This has led to early discoveries and the
spread of information. Currently, society spread written
material through online press whereby it reaches many people
as compared to contemporary society. Renaissance has also
facilitated the rise of Humanism. In the early Renaissance era,
people were devoted to living a religious life. This was
accompanied by fulfilling their spiritual purpose of life. In
contemporary society, humanism raised such that people are
now interested in filling their interests rather than religious
demands. The modern society emphasize more on worldly
presses as well as studied classic texts from scholars and
philosophers such as Aristotle and Plato to obtain aspirating.
People have developed an increased desire to travels and
acquire knowledge (Kaufman, 2012).
The goal of the paper is to deeply study the two societies “to
compare and contrast society during the early Renaissance in
Europe to contemporary society.” To achieve this goal, the
researcher will strive to meet various objectives, which include
identifying characteristics of religious and cultural practices in
early renaissance society and contemporary society. The study
seeks to examine the changes in the education system between
the two societies. The researcher will also determine the
changes in the literature that have taken place by comparing
early Renaissance with contemporary society. Finally, the study
will investigate the impact of Renaissance in Europe over the
years so that its benefit and challenges are identified.
This study will be necessary to all student and philosophers
since it will enhance understanding of the contemporary by
defining the similarities and difference of the two societies.
This informs will also enable future production of the society.
The identification of similarities and differences between early
renaissance and contemporary society will be on help to society
today so that challenges accompanying the changes can be
identified and ways of handling the changes designed.
The researcher will embrace qualitative research method. The

3. qualitative research method is appropriate because it enables the
researcher to explore the topic deeply and gain understanding of
the reasons, motivation, and opinions of the concepts and
develop an insightful an understanding of the two societies. The
researcher will use secondary data whereby meta-analysis of
information from other scholars will be used to develop the
study. The researcher will carry out an explorative literature
review about the two societies so that all relevant information
regarding the study. The secondary data will aid the study by
providing information about the practices and lifestyle of
people in the early renaissance time which cannot be identified
through primary data since most of the people living during that
time are long gone. The information obtained will be analyzed
through content analysts. This method of analysis intends to
identify essential content for the research topic. Therefore,
qualitative research method will be suitable for the study and
the use of a secondary data to understand the similarities and
difference of the early renaissance society as well as
contemporary society.
