The Middle Ages

In this unit we will study the social, political, and economic aspects of the medieval times; also known as the Middle Ages. It was a time of stagnation in many ways, but it was also a time in which great upheavals occurred. Some of the questions we will study and explore are: How does necessity force change within society? How does the suppression of people create the need to survive? How does corruption in leadership affect society? How does suppression negate advancement?
