The student chose the Copernican Revolution, which was proposed by Nicolas Copernicus in the 16th century.

    Assignment 4 (Intellectual Revolution)

    Instructions: Aside from the 3 intellectual revolutions discussed in this section, other intellectual
    revolutions also took place across history in many parts of the world, such as in North America, Asia,
    Middle East, and Africa. Research on a particular intellectual revolution that took place in any of the 4
    geographical locations mentioned. Highlight your chosen intellectual revolution by using the following
    guide questions for your presentation.

    1. What is the intellectual revolution all about?


     My views regarding to the intellectual revolution, it showed how our society was
    transformed by science and technology and it has a large substantial responsibility to our
    modern life. Events that happened which they discover from 16 th to 20th century until
    now, scientist still seek for new discoveries about our universe. They take lot of time to
    make new research from what will be the impact of this to our society and answers all
    the, what if’s that we wanted to answer until now. I chose Nicolas Copernicus’s theory
    called Heliocentric it’s about his theory that every planet, including earth, revolved
    around the sun and the earth rotates daily on its axis and the earth’s motion affected what
    people saw in the heavens.

    2. Who are the key figures in the revolution?


     There’s no doubt that Nicolaus Copernicus, Charles Darwin, and Sigmund Freud are the
    three key figures in the revolution

    3. How did the revolution advance modern science and scientific thinking at the time?
     The advancement of Copernican revolution to the scientific thinking at that time I think
    it’s the Copernican revolution was the paradigm shift from the Ptolemaic model of the
    heavens, which described the cosmos as having earth stationary at the center of the
    universe, to the heliocentric model with the sun at the center of the solar system. It has a
    large impact back then until now whenever we talk about the universe.
    4. What controversies met the revolution?
     People did not believe the research made by Nicolas Copernicus since he did not have the
    tools to prove his theories so the church’s views reflect a hard look at his idea about the
    universe. The church accuse him of heresy because of his perception about the
    Copernican Revolution that the church think it was against the bible and it was changing
    the ideas of the people around our universe in the past also they’ve tried to ruined the
    idea because it lacks information but eventually the scientist accepted the said theory.
