Social Studies- Blog 5 (Compare)

My life today is different from Maggie Baker's because first of all I am a Christian and nobody cares what religion you are. I have a much bigger family than she does and I have an average American culture. The government that we have is democracy, so that is different too. Some events that we have are fairs, circuses, carnivals and more events that are similar to those. There are so many different things today that happen that did not happen in the middle ages.

Social Studies (Medieval Event)

We had a big event the other day! It was a carnival. The whole village was there! Well, everyone that could make it, that is. It was placed right in the middle of our village on March 10-14th, 800 AD. It happened because everyone needed a big break and just to have fun because they have been working too hard. There were people riding horses and shooting arrows at apples. There was apple bobbing and jousting. They had a chance to dress up as the king and queen. The kings and queen actually did come to this event. In fact, they were the ones who held it. I witnessed this event because I was there along with everyone else, playing the games and helping out. I was so thrilled when I found out that my family and I were going to the carnival and so wasn't everyone else who found out. The whole town was talking about it until the day actually came. Everyone was much more loose, but it didn't affect the work that they did. They still worked hard, but were much more happier doing it.

Social Studies 3 (culture)

My family and I chose to live in a small community, so really we interact with most all the people who also chose to live in this community. They come to our bakery all the time so that's how we know many of them. For food, my family and I eat the meat that my father brings home after he goes hunting (normally for birds), bread from the bakery, sometimes we will have pizza, and we also have a garden so we grow most all of our own food. Our community is crowded with nice, flowing valleys. There are small rivers in some places.

Social Studies 2 (Government)

The type of government the us people had was Feudalism. Me and my family are catholic, we go to a catholic church. I disagree with the court law. It states that no Jews, children, or women cannot testify before a judge unless they have their husband's consent and cooperation. I agree with he law of marriage. It states that no man should give his daughter or female relative to anyone without a priestly blessing. There are really no conflicts with the people and our government. If there are any conflicts, they will be brought up to the King and they will be testified in court.
