ASSIGNMENT 2: PROJECT PAPER
Social activities in the society led to more interactions in the society leading to historical
outcomes. Most of the success attributed to the revolution of the industrial sector is associated
with the social activities of that time. The revolution in the industry holds a very significant role
in the historical changes that have taken place in the world’s history.
The effects of the industrialization are that it resulted into the improvement of the living
standards. The introduction of free enterprise in the world also encouraged trade leading to the
historical development in the trade sector. The improvement and expansion of the world trade
was due to the tremendous expansion of the market which was opened up by the great demand
from new market that was opened up due to the social activities.
Cultural activities also played a role in the historical changes in the society. Cultural
changes have had an influence on the individuals and the community in general. Culture has
reconstructed over the years and it has had an effect on the historical changes that has occurred
in the society. The cultural activities of the society have changed over the years as the
communities try to reposition themselves in the world. Ancient cultures like the Romans and
Greek played a significant role in the civilization of the Western nations. Enlightenment in these
societies gave a breakthrough in the historical advancement and made great contributions in the
engineering, law and government sectors.
Artistic development also played a significant role in the historical changes that took
place in the early days. The early historical changes we largely characterized by the use of the
artistic components in the storage of data and information. The western civilization also played a
key role in the historical advancement. The artistic development formed on of the cornerstone for
the advancement of the western culture.
ASSIGNMENT 2: PROJECT PAPER
Keeping cultural and society’s artistic expressions in historical context help the
community in keeping data in a safe and reliable way to retrieve it. Using a historical context to
store data can be used as a way of obtaining income from the use of the society’s cultural and
artistic expressions. This will in a great way attract tourists who will be seeking to get
information about the cultural and social activities of the community. Historians and scholars
will also seek to make use of the cultural and artistic documentation that has been stored in
historical context. Storing of the cultural and artistic expressions in historical context also
presents to the community the chance to own the piece of information that has been kept. This is
important in preserving the cultural practices and information for future use of future
generations.
Religion played a very key role in the development and transformation of the artistic
information. The religious symbols and names that had been developed in the early periods
needed to be stored. Religious names like Dante, Virgil and Goethe were respectable names that
needed to be highlighted for the memory of the community. Expressions therefore had to be
developed that would suit well the storage of the names. Artistic devices were also used to store
the memory of the great leaders who needed to be remain in the books of the society and could
therefore not be stored by way of imagination. Political events also played a very important role.
European civilization also was characterized by great leaders who started great movement.
There was one of the development activities that took place in the renaissance period that
has an effect in the contemporary period. One of the activities include the development in the art
sector mainly the artisan activities. The artisan activities set a base for the development of new
inventions in the industrial sectors. Mush of the work that is appreciated till now is the progress
that was achieved in Africa which had an effect in the situations then and has an effect on the
ASSIGNMENT 2: PROJECT PAPER
current situation of the world. The artisan development revolutionized the industrial progress and
transformed it into a much better model than it earlier was. Cultural civilization also played a key
role in the period of renaissance. The development in cultural practices had a major impact on
the society.
Political and social structures development. In renaissance period, there existed political
structures that was rare because of the cultural activities that existed then. But with time there
came a period that new political structures were developed. Like in Italy, the administrative
centers were divided into smaller cities and territories. With time, better political entities were
developed in the regions that helped in better administration. An Historian and philosopher
Quentin Skinner noted that a new form of political and social organization was taking shape in
the Italy. Italy had exited from the Feudalism and had adopted the merchant and commerce to
base the activities and development of the community.
Cities beyond Italy were also adopting new ways of administration that created
conducive environment for trade activities to be carried out in the regions. Wealth that was
accumulated meant that people had the ability to finance big projects and the individuals could
get more time for leisure and study leading to civilization in the society.
