The way women were treated in the medieval times was just unacceptable! In almost all civilizations, women have been inferior to men. First of all, according to Medieval period.com, women were taught that they should be agreeable and compliant towards their fathers, brothers and husbands. Where an unmarried woman was extremely powerful when owning land, the minute she married, she lost the land to her husband. They were not given the same jobs as men, like they couldn’t be blacksmiths, and they had to have many jobs because they weren’t paid as much. Women and Men should be treated equally.
Women in medieval times were taught to be obediant and agreeable towards men. In what way is that fair? If men had to agree and go with everything that a woman told them, they would think twice about how they treated women. Doing everything that a husband might ask of their wife is not a great life. Think of doing hundreds of chores a week. Cooking dinner, cleaning the house, washing the clothes and on top of that, most likely having to work. And the husband wouldn’t do anything to help. He just expected the wife to do everything. Does that sound fair?
I know what you’re thinking, that everybody did it then. But does that make it right? Or maybe a person who is against women’s rights might say that in reality, the women were NOT inferior to men. They did just as much, if not more work than the men. But the men got to chose what they wanted to do. they didn’t have to do what their wife asked them to. They didn’t have to do chores. They could chose their job and they weren’t stuck at home. They were able to do things against their wife’s belief.
There is justice though, because an unmarried woman could own land. However, the minute they married, the land belonged to their husband. He could do whatever he pleased with it. Think about it. The wife might have worked really hard, saved a lot of money and bought land. and then, when she marries, she moves to her husband’s house, he sells her property and then uses the money to buy himself some elegant, leather shoes and a nice suit. So fancy and elegant that it was of equal cost to the property of his wife. And because of spending all of her money on the land, she wears clothes so dirty and old that they’re like rags, she has no shoes, owns nothing. And her husband spends her life’s savings in one hour.
Women were often not given the same jobs as men. A man could be a blacksmith, but his wife had to be a farmer and a writer AND a weaver just to get half of his paycheck. Even if a man was a farmer, and a woman was a farmer, her pay would probably have been ⅕ of his, for the same amount of time at work. There were many jobs that the women couldn’t even have, like glass blowing, silversmith, blacksmith etc. Imagine this. As a little girl, you’d always dreamed to be a blacksmith, like your father. He showed you how and you learned. When you were older and went to find a job, you went to the blacksmith to ask for a job. He looks at you and laughs. He says that little girls should stay home. That they are too weak, that they couldn’t even lift a brick. Just like that, dream ruined.
Is it fair, for women to be treated this way? They had to be agreeable and compliant towards their fathers, brothers and husbands. Where an unmarried woman was extremely powerful when owning land, the minute she married, she lost the land to her husband. They were not given the same jobs as men, like they couldn’t be blacksmiths, and they had to have many jobs because they weren’t paid as much as men. If you think that this is fair, then, good for you. But if you agree with me, then here’s how you can help: Advertise. Tell people that this is not ok. That women and men should be treated equally. And maybe, slowly, the world will become unsexist.
Education Sir Humphrey Bacon IV
Education is a very important thing to have. It gives you skills and knowledge. More people should be educated because in the end, it will help people live longer. It helps with basic living, and it provides you with skills you need in order to make a living.
If one is educated, they are more likely to succeed in their job. You would not want a baker who does not know how to bake because someone could get sick from the food. You wouldn’t want a doctor who doesn’t know what he is doing. This is one reason why education is very important.
When you are educated, you are more likely to get a job and make a living. If you are a blacksmith, many people would come to you to fix things or make weapons. People would only come to you if you were educated in being a blacksmith and skilled. This would bring you more money.
Another thing about education is that if you have basic education, you will have basic survival skills and you learn right from wrong. This helps a lot in basic life.
If you have a wide education, you have more opportunity in jobs. If you are educated in only one topic, you will not have many job opportunities, but if you are educated in five different areas, you will have five times as much opportunity.
When you are educated, you can make more money. You get this money from getting a good job that requires the worker to be educated. When you have more money, your social status will also go up.
The Most Useless Decision Lord Sunday 1234 A.D.
A complete waste of time, the crusades. Our own greed and fervor led to the lost lives of hundreds of thousands of otherwise good men and women. The First crusade was called by Pope Urban II which in reality was backed by very good intention, but it horribly failed. The problem that created Urban’s solution of launching a crusade was the fact that the Muslim empires had imposed a small tax upon incoming pilgrims. The Ayyubid (Egypt) Empire at the time had meant to repel the tax and were friendly towards Christians. An easier solution than years of pointless war could’ve been diplomacy.
Instead, our sorry excuse for a Holy Father decided to send hundreds of thousands to their imminent death in the birthplace of Jesus. The crusades did more than kill people, they changed people. Once chivalrous knights massacred over 350,000 muslims, jews and eastern christians in the sacking of Jerusalem. Not to mention the fact that the Templars became heretics to the Christians religion and that pure knights were forced into cannibalism as a result of the campaigns they endured.
Even after we captured the holy land, we lost it to the Muslims after one-hundred years of our rule. The hundred years of occupation changed the men who returned to Europe. No longer did they do things in the name of God, but they transitioned to in the name of Money. In the end, these crusades did more harm for us than they did good.
Marriage for Women is Unfair Flora Brereton
When you get married, you are pledged to your partner for the rest of your life. No questions asked. For women, they are forced to marry some man who may be years older than them and to someone who they might not even know. Once a woman is able to have children, she is immediately shipped off to spend the rest of her life with some man who may be up to twenty years older than herself. Women everywhere feel the injustice and fright of being forced to be with someone who they do not love.
Women are highly regarded as the inferior sex, and have many fewer rights that men have. They don’t get the freedoms that they should get, and are often regarded as nothing. They are treated like property, when they have thoughts and emotions. In fact, they are so inferior that their fathers have to pay a man to marry them. They are in a way bought and sold like cattle or grain. That is just horrible and completely unjust.
Have you ever felt love? It is that amazing, bubbly feeling inside your heart that makes you feel so good. It occurs when you are with someone who you truly feel passionate about. You don’t get to choose who you love, it just happens. You fall into the wonderful depths. Married men get to feel love every day if they are with someone who they chose. They got to pick a woman who makes them feel wonderful. But women don’t get to pick someone who they feel this with. Think of Queen Guinevere. Arthur fell in love with her at first sight, but she didn’t, and could not replicate his feelings. But her father gave her to Arthur without her consent. She fell for Lancelot, but didn’t have a chance to be with him because she had no choice. It is not fair, and not right. It is true that some women fall for their husband, but it makes such a difference to choose them from the start, and it would happen much more often.
Another horrible part of marriage for women is their age. The average age for a women to get married is 12. At the youngest, men are married at 18. Doesn't that feel wrong to you? Women can be six years younger than their spouse. Six years is a very big difference, and makes women uncomfortable and scared of her husband. Besides that, if you are a man that was 12 years old, then you would be considered a child. But for women, the second you turn 12 is the end of your childhood. You get married and have kids by the age of 14. You are already a mother at such a young age, and it is very difficult. It comes with a lot of responsibility; too much responsibility for a 14 year old to handle.
Marriage is a big deal, and is hard for women. So many rules keep marriage a scary and confusing time for girls, when it should be exciting. Women should have more of a choice when marriage comes around; who they marry, when they marry, and even if they get married at all. Men and women have the same amount of brains and should be treated equally. But in reality, women are regarded as cattle or property, not a human being. So think, men; how would you feel to be put into a women’s shoes and feel like property, get married when you are still a child, and not get to choose. Pretty angry and upset. So next time you see your young wife, think about how hard it is for her, and fight for a change.
Does The Pope Have More Power Than The King? Lord Humphrey Dunforth III
Who has more power than the pope? The answer to that is, the pope. The pope has much more power than the king. He can just tell people to do stuff and they will. Everybody is religious and the pope can just tell them that God told him that his subjects have to do whatever he wants. While the king has some people that don’t like him. The people that don’t like the king will convince other people that the king is bad and they will convince people that the king is bad and it will snowball into a lot of people not liking the king. They will need somebody to be a leader that is strong and somebody could mention the pope. Nobody could insult the pope because he would tell God and God will be mad. The person that insulted the pope would get shunned by everybody else because everybody else believes in God. Their life would have become a total disaster and in the end the would die alone because everybody would think if they did anything with that person that God would tell the pope and everybody would try to avoid that person also.
In the end, the pope could just tell everybody that God said, “The king is a very bad ruler nobody follow his rule. He does not believe in God avoid him at all costs.” If the pope did that and the people of Britain found out about it, he would be the laughing stock of the century. The pope has more power than the king and now you know why.
