Above everything, Christianity has become of the largest religious communities with over two billion followers and this is due to the faith that most people have set their beliefs on which is the events of life and death and mostly the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Even though there may be many different religious forms or beliefs, Christianity is set on one purpose which is the belief in only one God. From my understanding, this is why I sort of like the outcome of what Christianity does to a certain individual which is revolving around the life of Jesus. In regards to similar circumstances, the role that Islam plays in world history is also important to detail here because Islam is also another term for “the submission for God”. One of the important things to know about Islam is that most Muslims believed that everyone can have a free will but most have permission in regards to Allah, which is connected to the founder of Muhammad, and lastly one of the things that I enjoyed about Muslims was the matter in which they respected a number of prophets that Christians had with Jews. Now, Ancient facts in regards to humanities are also important to point out, including in which Ancient Greece came into our world. One of the biggest things that Greece has been known for is its philosophy and architecture, and one of the things that I liked about this was the expansion and development that went into creating Greece. From the beginning, Greece was referred to as the “Dark Green Ages” where there were a number of people scattered and just living in small villages, but as it grew they created larger communities which resulted in governments so that citizens can be organized and follow rules that will lead to healthy environment. Since, this was formed wonderfully well, there is another important artifact that I enjoyed when it came to Ancient Rome, and that was the matter in which Rome went from a small village to a complete empire where legends have said that there were seven kings that were all elected by the senate. This is one of the biggest important events because eventually it led to a downfall that took place in 509 B.C. where the seventh king was overthrown due to cruelty. Basically all of these facts that I enjoyed were based upon learning the concept for how each of these were first created or founded in our world history.

From my first understanding of how Christians were formed from their beliefs in God, I did not know how important the Bible was to Christianity. The bible has been known as a guidebook for all Christians which has led to the conclusion that there are laws set by God in which they have to follow. For example, an important quote that has been praised for is “Reading the Bible is a spiritual discipline, which means that we need to be disciplined in how we approach it” (Diffey, 2019). This shows me as a student that Daniel Diffey who is a professor that many people will turn to this as a reference when they are faced with dilemma or just by means of living a life with the belief in god’s words. Miltary Expansion was one of the things that I never know about when it came to learning about Ancient Rome because at this time it was the beginning of saying that size and control were major factors in what Rome was trying to pursue. For instance, they took control over Sicily and destroyed the city of Carthage. And then also Colonization was a major factor in Anicent Greece because it has been known to relieve a lot of attention towards the people who lived in Greece, and later expanded from North Africa all the way to the Black Sea.

Looking back on what all of these categories bring to the overall outcome for the renaissance, it is easy to say that they all represent a meaning of belief and wisdom and this is because Christianity has shown everyone including me that maybe following the rules of a bible and knowing the beliefs of what God gives to Christians will somehow result in the pursuit of happiness. And the outcomes in which Rome and Greece provide, show me also that there are some very powerful people in our world that can do anything that will lead them to success in regards to civilization and how cultures work in each different state. Islam is on that same page as well learning the importance of monotheism because it was a fundamental aspect for the religion. For instance, one of the things that Crash Course provides is the words “the importance of taking care of those less fortunate than you” (Crash Course, 3:00). This allowed me to appreciate the overall outcome of what this religion as well as the rest of the religions that everyone is only fitting in to become a good citizen for that one religious purpose and that is representing what their people and leaders do in everyday life. Ultimately, all of these taught a valuable lesson and that was to understand that everyone can have a purpose in life through the course of religious purposes for which can be pursued to evaluate themselves into better human beings.
