Life in the Middle Ages


You have learnt a lot about the middle ages from your own research and from your classmates'. Taking into account all the information you have now, would you like to have lived in that epoch? Explain why.

Hello! :D

I think, on the one hand, I wouldn't like to live in that epoch because Feudal Life was very difficult: There was a great inequality between people with different sex, beliefs or social class; epidemics, diseases and wars were common in the Middle Ages; and life, in general, was very hard because medicines were scarce and antibiotics weren't invented; you had to work hardly to survive; and food went bad easily.

But, on the other hand, I'd like it because life was a great adventure and I love the adventures and the challenges, so I'd enjoy every day like it was the last.

What about you, friends?

GoodBye! :D

I would'nt like to live in that epoch, because of the fights and wars (I hate that A LOT) and also I wouldn't like to see how women work everywhen in things like fighting in wars, housework (they were the only type of person who did that kind of job) even if they don't want to do so. I HATE that...

If we compare that epoch with the 21st century (from my point of view) I obviously choose the actual epoch.

Bye!;P

I wouldn't like to have lived in the Middle Ages because there were a lot of fights and wars, people lived in very bad conditions and died early, and also because women had to work very hard in housework, fighting in wars, keeping an eye on the children, etc.

I prefer my life in the XXI century.

I wouldn't like to live in that epoch by several things.
There was no equality between men and women. The woman had a difficult position in society and there were many diseases and the drugs are scarce.

I wouldn't like to live in that epoch because Feudal Life was very difficult:
*the women had a difficuld position in society.
*the women learned to use weapons to defend their homes and castles.
*epidemics, diseases and wars were very common in the Middle Ages.
*people died because the medicines were very scarce.
*the food was very different from the food of today, ...

I think that in my woman position I couldn't live in that epoch. First, beacuse we have to work at home; second, because we were like a zero on the left and third because I can't live without books and Internet where I can investigate.

I prefer my life on the XXI century, with or without our problems.

Have a good day!

I wouldn't like live in that epoch because there, there were a lot of fights and wars and it's very difficult to live there.

I like live now, because it's more easier than in Middle ages and now, there are a lot of technology.

Bye! ;)

I wouldn´t like live in that epoch, because I don´t like war and violence and in the middle ages was very war. The Feudal life was very different from today: the form to think, different ideas...
I don´t like Feudal life.

Hi :)
Well, of course if I would like to have to live in the Middle Ages, it depends. If I would have to live as a peasant, of course I wouldn't like.
However, if I would have to live as a king or a noble, It seems to be fantastic (or not) because you have a lot of advantages but of course you have to go to wars.
Although it would be very interesting to learn how did people live in the Middle Ages, I think I prefer my life in the XXI century, because I can't imagine my life in a different way than actually, probably because of the technological advances which make our life easier than in previous centuries.
I also prefer the XXI century life because actually our health and food is much better than in the Middle Ages, and making a comparison between life in the Middle Ages and the actual life, I think I would live for longer.

I wouldn't like to have live in that epoch, because the women had a difficult position in the society and she work at home.This epoch was very marked by epidermics and diseases and there weren't antibiotics ,so a lot of people died. There weren't computers , TV, so on and now these things for me are essentials.Also in that epoch there were frequently wars and fights.


I prefer that epoch. I live very well ;)

Bye!;)
