For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Renaissance, meaning rebirth, means the re-establishing of learning, literature, and science as practiced in earlier times but interrupted by feudal and religious forces working to keep the populace in ignorance so more easily to control them. This was brough to an end by the Black Death.
After the pestilence, those ordinary people who remained held more power and rejected much mumbo-jumbo religious twaddle in favour of the truth. This had a profound effect on society as a whole, for the betrter in my opinion.
Unfortunately each generation has to learn the human truths anew and some groups or individuals refuse to do so and eventually form groups of self-replicating unenlightend ones without wisdom, learning and social inclusion.
