Compare and contrast the impact(s) of the Black Death and the Renaissance on the Late Medieval period and the impact on Western Civilization as a whole. Briefly introduce each period including timelines, locations, and ideals. Then, discuss comparisons in the following categories:
– Significant individuals (e.g., political or religious leaders, innovators, patrons, explorers)
– Characteristics of worldview (e.g., philosophy, art, humanism, religion)
– Civic Practices (e.g., social institutions, hierarchies).
– Economics (e.g., changes, different economic systems, methods, impact)
– Politics (e.g., forms of governance, power distributions, conflict)
Prioritize and use specific data to support the essay. Use examples to prove points rather than just listing them. Begin with a string introduction.
