Day 2
In Class: Discussion on How did the Black Death lead to the Renaissance? Let's take a look at what"Daily History"states about the Black Death on their website...
The Black Death (1347-1350) was a pandemic that devastated the populations of Europe and Asia. It was an unprecedented human tragedy. Because of the way the plague spread, trade practically ceased throughout all of Europe, especially Italy. As trade stopped, businesses failed, unemployment rose, and there was a complete breakdown in Europe economically. Because the plague was so deadly, much of the lower class in Europe died as a result. As more people died in Europe, there were fewer farmers, laborers, craftsmen, and leaders, which lead to a shift in social power, which basically destroyed feudalism.
The Black Death also challenged the Church. People no longer believed everything the Church preached, which lead to an increased questioning in the world around them. People then began challenging education and what the Church taught. They began thinking more about logic than blind faith in the Church, which lead to an increase in desired education (more people wanted to learn!)
Finally, people started to question their role in society. Many people came to believe that they had different roles in the world, not based on their birthright or what social class they were born into. As Europeans watched others die, they assumed the roles of those who died, thus proving they could move up in social hierarchy. This new belief then opened up new thinking and inspired middle to lower class citizens to think differently about their lives and their roles in society.
HW: None!
Day 3
