Immigration has affected American culture in many ways from adding resources in the form of workers, allowing the country to remain demographically youthful, enriching the nation with new cultures and contributing to America's influence throughout the global world. In fact, due to the massive amounts of immigration that occurred throughout the early years of the United States, the country is considered to be an "immigrant nation" by many.
One of the ways in which immigrants have positively benefited the United States is through the way the United Sates is viewed by other countries. Immigrants give the United States a way to connect with other nations because so many of the people living in the United States were once members of different nations. It also gives the United States a strong workforce, bolstering the country's economic prosperity.
Economic prosperity is another way in which immigrants have positively benefited the United States. Economic prosperity is one of the ways in which nations are judged as to whether or not they are powerful. Immigrants not only take jobs that Americans might not want such as low-skill jobs in the domestic service or construction industries, but they also raise the demand for American goods.
in the Middle Ages, which preceded the Renaissance, everything was basically centered around God, and life was arrayed according to the “Great Chain of Being,” which was the hierarchy by which all things were organized in God’s view.
With the introduction of Classical texts by Greco-Roman authors, there came a new consciousness in the value of the human, hence the name “humanist.” Authors like Petrarch started writing about themselves, rather than God, turning inward through the use of poetry to express the human condition. The philosopher Pico della Mirandola wrote An Oration on the Dignity of Man which, contrary to the dominant Christian view at the time, attributed to humans absolute free will, arguing that we have the power to shape ourselves according to our wills, rather than by God. Artists did not stop painting Christian themes, but they did paint more every day images depicting landscapes with proper proportions and human figures from Classical times, showing a departure from the religious-dominated art world.
In short, the Renaissance differed from “the way most people thought before” by turning away from God and toward humans.
