Task 2: Personal Reflection.

What a piece of work a man is! (II,ii) The renaissance brought a new way of thinking, not only in Europe but in the rest of the world. Sciences, Art, and Philosophy changed their focus, and they started to demonstrate all the excellent characteristics that human beings had. Sciences showed all the physical and biological advantages that humans had; humans were described as the most developed animal in the planet. Artistic expression (Painting, Sculpture, Literature) illustrated the complicated ideas and the abilities that humans carried. All of these aspects lead the society to think that they were the center of the universe, God's greatest creation. 

However, we are not living in the renaissance anymore. Humans have shown that they are nothing more than depravity made flesh. For me, humans are the worst plague in the universe. Humans destroy everything around them. They even destroy themselves. Hate is their law, and murder is their job. Just as Hamlet said, Humans are nothing more than dust. I can not understand how humans are able to rejoice in their banality.
