Subject: Topic 4

I believe that the Dark Ages was actually dark. This was due to a variety of things. First of all, people were very focused on living and education was definately put on the back burner. It may seem amazing that many kings back then couldnt read but it was actually quite common. You dont have to be smart or "well learned" to live so people in the Middle Ages kind of forgot about it. You may think it's great when you're five years old but when you're an adult it not only influences the person that you become but it also can effect the way you make decisions and how you use your logic to get out of problems. Also, since people were so uneducated they didn't connect the fact that good hygiene can help keep colds away and help you live in a healthier way. This could have stopped things like the Plague for instance. So, as you can see education is directly related to how you live your life and since people in the Dark Ages certainly did not lead very nice lives if they were educated I feel very strongly that the Dark Ages would not have been so dark.
