Length: Your essay must be a minimum of two pages in length, not including your title and reference pages.
References: You must use two sources written by historians in history books or journals from the CSU Online Library in addition to the textbook and the study guide. All content must follow APA guidelines, including all sources used, which must be cited and referenced according to APA standards.
Details: Compare and contrast the impact(s) of the Black Death and the Renaissance on the Late Medieval period and on Western civilization as a whole. Briefly introduce each period ( 2 to 3 sentences maximum) 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), and
- politics (e.g., forms of governance, power distributions, conflict)
When writing your essay, use examples to prove your point rather than simply listing the examples. Begin with a strong introduction.
