Rinascimento Philosophy

Common Culture

Rinascimento common culture is seen as a membership into the urban culture. What is common ground seems to be the problem solving balance of knowing the feeling and thinking of a problem, rather then one overpowering importance over the other, valuing knowledge and tolerant of the less knowledgeable, and being more accepting about how people have honed their skills as long as they can prove it.

Media often times associates rinascimento urban culture with reading books, being socially awkward all the time, overweight, and a lisp of some sorts. However being socially awkward, overweight, and having a lisp have no place in the rinascimento idealogy. 

  

Fashion

Rinascimento fashion expresses individuality and slight conformity. Rinascimento fashion often displays knowledge, consumerism, and individualism. Some people in rinascimento sometimes wear non perscription glasses as a statement that they are a thinker.

Common colors may include earthy tones, plant like greens, and ocean and sky like blues. Colors such as black and white are less common. White is usually replaced by a cream.

Masculine Views

Manhood is partially described by Fact Power, Chivalry, and ability to Not Give Up.

Fact Power (Knowledge Accumilation)

Since knowledge of books, videos, and podcasts as well as the knowledge of whats in those articles are important...expert power reigns as the main force of measuring ones power. However those who seek to show they are smarter than the other are seen as weak.

Chivalry (Gender Specific)

Chivalry is related to knighthood. One who does the right thing, Honorable with good sportsmanship, and Courtly in love. Chivalry's gender opposite is Chivales. Being Chivalrous is respecting the other person, but that doesn't mean they are a keeper. The matching values are what determine a keeper.

One type of respect, would be phone respect. In phone respect, one must have the curtiously to play catch with someone else. When you are playing catch, one must send a text message/call to someone else (throwing the ball), and the other person should answer/ read the message (catch the ball). Then the other person should call/ text back (throwing back the ball), and you should answer or read the text (catching the returned ball).

However, if one person initiates the game of playing catch all of the time then it becomes a one sided event and the other person could be seen as not showing respect. When this happens one side will usually feels frustrated and a misunderstanding could occur and he might feel like tackling the other person. This usually leads to a rift being formed between them.

Another type of respect would be attentive respect. An example of this can be seen in everyday culture. I'm sure it's happen before that while you were talking to your friends, family, or anyone in general they were wearing their head phones. Then think about how it would make you feel. For most of us, it wouldn't feel to good, right. For most people this feeling of annoyance happens because when you are talking to someone else, you want them to be paying attention to you. But if they have their earphones on, it might appear that they aren't paying attention to what you have to say.

Negative Traits

Academic Elitism (Academic Jock)

Someone who has academic elitism judges people on their school grades. Getting in honors is like the holy grail, and IQ tests are like the final judgement of who you are as a person. Many of their judgements are based on Academic Prestige and Status.

Many with academic elitism that learn even minor social skills may often have a trait to hate on those not in the academic know. People with academic elitism are often talking about test grades and SAT scores like they are the only thing going on in their life.

Hobby Escapism (Fan Boy)

Many Geeks who use their hobbies as a method to get away from their social responsibilities to family and friends often times suffer from Escapism. Those who tend to over study, obsess over one franchise, continues to read books non stop, using the computer, and/or watching streams will end up alienating friends and family at the expense of their interest.

Lower Social Tolerance

Having no tolerance for people who arent educated or have a good understanding about what they are talking about can happen if a Geek forgets that not everyone knows the same information. When gaining amass of knowledge Geeks sometimes forget what it was like to know less then they do at the moment.

Relationships

The relationship views of Rinascimento are based on a Prince and his Princess. Morals and Long term Monogomy are important in the search of finding the one. Physical advances are to be allowed, not taken by the beta.

Damsel In Distress

The Damsel in distress is looked down upon in Rinascimento culture.

Reciprocation

The ideas of Mutualism make sure that the relationship to be called Gallant or Demure it must have even reciprocation of the two.
