Around the late 17th century a movement started that promoted individualism, reasoning, scepticism, and secularism. This movement was called the Enlightenment, or the "Age of Enlightenment". The Scientific Revolution is related to the enlightenment as<u> people used the scientific method to understand the world around them</u>.
The Renaissance and the Reformation had the main ideas that started this movement. Religion was very important in the life of the people at the time. Protestantism argued that s<em>alvation wasn't mediated by Church,</em> but was rather a matter of <em>personal faith</em> <em>and giving the scriptures the importance Christian Church didn't.</em> The Reformation rejected the traditional teachings of the Church that weren't in the Bible. This led to a schism that would separate Catholic Church and what would be known as the Protestant Church. Protestantism placed <u>emphasis on the individual and, as said before, people's salvation by faith alone and not by doing good works or sacrament.</u>
The Reinassence and Reformation encouraged the return to the origins and the study of early manuscripts in their original languages. This marked the beginning of modern science. The Reinassence showed people they could live without the pressure of pleasing God. It promoted secular values over religious values. They were widely influenced by Roman and Greek civilization, which led to the movement of democracy.

The hoop represents a balance in nature for both human, animal, plant and the universe. The hoop is a circle, an infinite loop that goes on forever when the pieces that help create and maintain the hoop are in balance.
These balances can be represented by a familiar set of earth, wind or air, fire and water. In order for anyone of these elements to occur, they need to be in balance with one another and sometimes allow the others to flourish or grow and diminish or disappear. Such as air can help fire grow, whereas water can destroy fire.
The hoop is the balance in life. On a much more human-scale, it is the balance that people have with nature. If people hunt too many animals, there will be no animals, so while now there may be a feast for the people, in the future they will be hungry or starve. If land is over-planted or overused now, the land in the future may not produce.
The hoop represents balance in aspects of life and interaction of human beings with the world that surrounds. And also can be broken or disrupted when humans are not in balance with the world around them.
