Our group is against the idea that Calgary can become a Renaissance because we do not possess many of the necessary conditions to become a renaissance city. Sure, we have great minds in our city, but that is a small amount of people compared to the ones that do not embrace the ideas of the renaissance such as humanism. We do not have enough people asking questions and seeking answers, except for a few places like the Calgary Science School, where we have inquiry based learning, and we are taught to think that way. This way of thinking was very evident in the Renaissance and was a key part of it, but we do not have enough of it today. ALso, our current economy just could not support a Renaissance in this modern day world. That is why we believe that Calgary does not have the necessary conditions to become a Renaissance city.
