Alik Dukoyan AS History “How important was printing to the success of Lutheranism?” Printing press, which was invented by Johannes Gutenberg in 1436, supposed to be one of the most revolutionary impacts in the Church’s Reformation. It is obvious that through the printing, ideas and words had spread faster and it made all views of reformers accessible to public. Some argues that this invention helped Martin Luther, the Father of Reformation and the creator of Lutheranism, to try to influence and inspire people to protest the current incongruous ‘behavior’ of the Church, as he initially supported against it. This essay will evaluate how printing was important to the success of Lutheranism. Undoubtedly, the printing press, which was initially perfected in Mainz, Germany in 1452, had the prominent and significant role for the spread of the Martin Luther’s ideas.
Around 1450 A.D. the printing press was invented by a German inventor named Johannes Gutenburg. Along with many educational and technical advancements the printing press acquired, unfortunately the introduction of the printing press is somewhat responsible for the popularity of beliefs in superstitions in the Elizabethan time period. The first printed books were bibles or books that contained religious themes; these books endorsed ideas about witches, witchcraft, and other superstitions. These superstitions are mainly due to the fear of supernatural forces and of God. Even though the Elizabethan era is over, superstitions that originated in this specific time period still exist in today’s society.
During the time period between 1825-1850, ideals of equality, liberty and the pursuit of happiness defined democracy and were inculcated into the masses of America through a series of reform movements that emerged in the antebellum era. During the years of 1825-1850 reform movements in the United States sought to expand democratic ideals through religious reformation during the Second Great Awakening, reformations on human rights as in the abolition of slavery or the womans movement, and changing political views like the expansion of voting rights. In the Age of Reform one of the first practical aspects of improvement was creating the House of Refuge which segregated youthful offenders from more hardened older criminals. This is found in document A. Prior to this reform, these children were not benefiting from incarceration.

This controversial issue paper will give you some insights on the past of our vast system of public education.

Peronism in present day Argentina is represented by the Justicialist Party. This movement largely contributed to Argentina’s largely ignored but principally important sectors; the educational system and the women of Argentina. Through the expansion of these influences, Juan Peron sought to expand his political culture by integrating and focusing on novel groups that would later represent votes for the Peronism political party. Juan Peron gave close and personal attention to reforming education in Argentina. The Peronist movement ambitiously sought to create a democratic objective of broadening access and opportunity for adults and vocational students as well as elementary aged students.
Comparing and Contrasting Two Pieces on Seventeenth Century Education in England The seventeenth century in England was a time of many radical events and new ideas. This included the shifting of political powers from monarchy to commonwealth and back to monarchy as well as new writings from such people as Margaret Cavendish, William Shakespeare, Francis Bacon, and John Dryden. Included with these prominent names are John Milton and Bathsua Makin. The former may be better well known than the latter, but both had much to say on the topic of education.

TO WHAT EXTENT WOULD YOU ARGUE THAT THE REFORMATION WAS ADIRECT OUTCOME OF THE RENAISSANCE? GROUP 9 Renaissance is a very strong movement that awakened Europe to a new interest in literature, art, science and the change from medieval to modern aims and methods of thought. At the dawn of renaissance the people’s attitudes, thinking and actions were no longer influenced by the church. This led to the uncontrollable behaviour which prompted some church leaders and humanists to advocate for the reforms. This write up is an assessment of whether the reformation was a direct outcome of renaissance in Europe.
What is Enlightenment? The term “enlightenment” is defined by “a movement in the 18th century that advocated the use of reason in the reappraisal of accepted ideas and social institutions”. Before the seventeenth and eighteenth century, the state and the church were the primary institutions that influenced how people perceived society as well as how they were governed. Dogma, blind faith, and superstition plagued the prominent notions of society and therefore logic and reasoning were obsolete. In the beginning of the seventeenth century, a counter revolution began which was established on the principles of reason, logic, criticism and freedom of thought.
“Today, there is a popular consensus that the term ‘Renaissance’ refers to a profound and enduring upheaval and transformation in culture, politics, art and society in Europe between the years 1400 and 1600” (Brotton 9). Science was at the forefront of this expansion because of the speed at which technology advanced communication. With the invention of the printing press, education boomed and suddenly producing accurate copies of important books of the time was no longer a major time consuming process. Not only that, but now information in textbooks could continuously be updated as scholars began to better understand and learn more about their subject areas. This newfound availability of literature helped spur the movement of Renaissance Humanism.
