Belief Sys"m of Hetalia
In an e+ort % crea" a success/l civiliza-on
#e people of Hetalia have established #eir
own belied sys"m. It shares similar religious
beliefs and "achings wi# o#er world relig.
ions and helps #e people of Hetalia have hap.
piness and hope. Here are some examples.
!e )rst "net in Hetalia is Pret. !is "net
means for people % let go of #eir problems
and get %ge#er and having a good -me.Pret
in Dutch also means /n, so #is "net is
mostly about being happy and having hope

Ideas
SECTION 1
A humanist mindset is a way of #inking
#at promo"s new ideas. Two of #e most im.
portant ideas #at #e humanists con&ibu"d
in #e Renaissance are ma#ema-cs and art.
One important humanist in #e Renaissance
is, Leonardo da Vinci. Leonardo was a fa.
mous pain"r in #e Renaissance. He studied
wi# art mas"rs in Florence and became one
Figure 4.1

23
of #e worlds best ar-sts. He also was sort of
a ma#ema-cian, who had an in"rest in ge.
ome&y. Art and ma# also go %ge#er, be.
cause people use geome&y in #eir art. An.
o#er humanist in #e renaissance was, Giro.
lamo Cardano, As sta"d by Frey,Girolamo
Cardano solved complex equa-ons in algebra
(329) . In #e Renaissance, art advanced.
Weal#y people made Florence #eir cen"r of
art, some of #ose people were #e Medicis.
!ey spent large amounts of money on art
and even housed some ar-sts so #ey could
con-nue #eir career wi#out worrying about
paying for food and shel"r. As sta"d by
Frey, Renaissance pain"rs were in,uenced
by #e renewed in"rest in classical culture
and #e spread of humanism (326). !e paint.
ers in #e Renaissance
also gave a more realis-c
feel % #eir pain-ngs, un.
like #e medieval pain"rs
#ey added propor-on
and be0er shading, wi#
#e help of di+erent ma".
rials. !e pain"rs crea"d
new ma"rials such as oil
paint, which helped #em show "xture and de.
tail in new ways. Overa(, humanists in #e
Renaissance made many new con&ibu-ons %
#e ma# and art )elds.
24
Power of Ideas
!e Ca#olic Church held great power, but
many humanists ques-oned #at power, mak.
ing #e o#er people % #ink it was corrupt.
Over #e years, #e church gained lots of
power. One of #e reasons for its power is be.
cause #ey sold church posi-ons and indul.
gences % people. !is prac-ce was ca(ed sim.
ony. For most people #e church had become
%o worldly and power/l. By #e 1300s, most
Ca#olics #ought #e church had %o much
power. !e church used its power % &ick peo.

ist named Galileo brought new ideas. He also

similar % when Mar-n Lu#er cha(enged #e

Mar-n con-nued % develop his ideas an
