What was economic life like for most Europeans during the 15th-16th centuries? What event changed this? Explain. https://padlet.com/naperville203/ulxzojcyzten/wish/2410678919
The largest industry in Europe was agriculture. The event of the “Price Revolution” in the 16th and 17th century was when gold and silver was brought from the new world to Europe where nobles had the power to raise taxes on farmers and take their land from owners

What problems did this create? https://padlet.com/naperville203/ulxzojcyzten/wish/2410679137  Many migrated to the city because the population in the countryside was just becoming too large and on top of this the enclosure movement was practically kicking them out, leaving them no choice, so this created cities with little sanitation and a ton of crime because the influx was so large and so quick.

(Grace) https://padlet.com/naperville203/ulxzojcyzten/wish/2410679785 It likely divided the two parts of Europe because Western Europe would increasingly modernize itself throughout the Scientific Revolution and the Enlightenment, distancing itself from medieval practices such as serfdom in the process while Eastern Europe continued it. Therefore the gap would grow between the two halves as differences between their societies would increase.

(Blue) https://padlet.com/naperville203/ulxzojcyzten/wish/2410680443 Giovanni Rucellai says that because money is difficult to handle and conserve those who are able to handle and conserve it become more wealthy and in times of disaster those with more money will suffer less.]]> 2022-12-06 13:48:35 UTC https://padlet.com/naperville203/ulxzojcyzten/wish/2410680443 Sofia - Question 8 https://padlet.com/naperville203/ulxzojcyzten/wish/2410680611 8.) Based on the map, how extensive of a revolt was the German Peasants’ War in the Holy Roman Empire? What does this tell you about the status of peasants in the German states at this time?
It covered a big part of the Germanic states but did not completely engulf it. It shows that while the peasants were able to revolt, they did not necessarily have the power to change all of the states.

How is the Great Plague described by Daniel Defoe? hwelsh https://padlet.com/naperville203/ulxzojcyzten/wish/2410681054 The plague is described as terrible, deadly, but inconsistent in the suffering it caused. Some people were affected more than others.]]> 2022-12-06 13:48:58 UTC https://padlet.com/naperville203/ulxzojcyzten/wish/2410681054 Question 6 - Benjamin https://padlet.com/naperville203/ulxzojcyzten/wish/2410681389      How has the restricted use of common land brought about by enclosure impacted John Wilson? Why do you think this is?
The enclosure movement has impacted John Wilkerson as the increase of rent prices cause him to not be able to afford the housing there any longer, forcing him to move out and become beggars. The enclosure movement was done because it was more efficient for the wealthy landowners.

(Declan) https://padlet.com/naperville203/ulxzojcyzten/wish/2410681454 She says that due to societies standards, and the stereotype of women that focus on beauty over all else, intelligent women arent educated enough or given a chance to prove themselves. Overall, Cereta believes that people pretend that women can’t be intelligent for the sake of keeping social standards.

What laws and codes did the English parliament and city of Geneva enact to respond to the challenges of expanding cities? Explain https://padlet.com/naperville203/ulxzojcyzten/wish/2410681603 While remaining harsh to the poor, the English Parliament’s “Act for Relief of the Poor” stated that any surplus of money that the country had would be used to help them. The city of Geneva decided to have elders with good reputations watch and see who committed crimes and try to get them to correct their ways. If they refused to repent, they would be “cast out from the companionship of Christians.”]]> 2022-12-06 13:49:19 UTC https://padlet.com/naperville203/ulxzojcyzten/wish/2410681603 Question 3: According to Adam Smith, how does the Bank of Amsterdam work? Why does this seem like a beneficial institution for Amsterdam to have? (Ian) https://padlet.com/naperville203/ulxzojcyzten/wish/2410681825 It was a place for bullion (precious metals) to be deposited, with receipts that almost never expire - a good way to ensure that bullion continues to circulate throughout the system, and individuals are able to maintain wealth without worrying about storing their bullion/money. Having a safe system of storing money would be especially important to Amsterdam because it is a large trading port city, where lots of goods and money flow through the city. ]]> 2022-12-06 13:49:29 UTC https://padlet.com/naperville203/ulxzojcyzten/wish/2410681825 Question 21: What impact did the Great Plague have on European society? How might a plague have had a positive economic impact? https://padlet.com/naperville203/ulxzojcyzten/wish/2410683345 The Great Plague killed  ¼ of London's population. This would create a shortage in certain in-demand fields and was an opportunity for the lower class to seize and move up in society.]]> 2022-12-06 13:50:27 UTC https://padlet.com/naperville203/ulxzojcyzten/wish/2410683345 7. How does William Coxe describe the status of the peasant in Poland? Why might he have this attitude? Georgia https://padlet.com/naperville203/ulxzojcyzten/wish/2410684710 William Coxe describes the status of peasants as being completely at the “disposal of their master,” they don’t have any “positive security” and properties of their own in their life thus they are not of the same level as the upper class at all. He probably has this attitude towards peasants not sharing the same rights of humanity as nobles because of how he sees the serfs be treated and the overall reliance on the serfs during this time, along with how the nobility is treated in comparison to the lower class.

(Johnny) https://padlet.com/naperville203/ulxzojcyzten/wish/2410686406 A: Women were constricted at the point they were born and couldn't have much say in the fate that would lead them. Middle-class women were constricted into being caregivers for children husbands and the home, upper-class women were essentially pawns and lower-income families with women who would usually die young because of the very poverty-ridden life they started in. In the renaissance, women didn't have much free will at all.]]> 2022-12-06 13:52:23 UTC https://padlet.com/naperville203/ulxzojcyzten/wish/2410686406 Question 5 - Based on the chart, what impact did Enclosure have on English agricultural production? Why do you think this is? https://padlet.com/naperville203/ulxzojcyzten/wish/2410687967 Enclosure significantly increased the production of crops right away, because large farmers didn’t have any tenants taking up land for personal use and with the influx of god and silver, the gentry did not need the money they got by renting to tenants and farming on their land was more profitable for them.]]> 2022-12-06 13:53:27 UTC https://padlet.com/naperville203/ulxzojcyzten/wish/2410687967 1. What was the social structure of early modern Europe like?

Based on the account of the French priest, what impact did it have on European society? (Angel) https://padlet.com/naperville203/ulxzojcyzten/wish/2410693133 The "Little Ice Age" was a short era in which it was so cold that it started ruining agriculture by ruining crops, killing livestock, and killing random animals. The impact this could've had on European society is that now there was the danger that this may happen again, and all the crops would be ruined again, it may come back stronger with more lethality or really with any other negative conditions it may bring.]]> 2022-12-06 13:56:32 UTC https://padlet.com/naperville203/ulxzojcyzten/wish/2410693133 Blood Sports hwelsh https://padlet.com/naperville203/ulxzojcyzten/wish/2410694447 Elizabethan sports were sometimes violent. For example "Bearbaiting involved a bear tied to a stake by a long rope. The animal was put into a pit where four or five large, fierce dogs call mastiff (or in some cases, lions) were let in for the sole purpose of attacking the confined bear. Any dogs that might survive the bear's retaliation were pulled off just before the bear was killed. The dogs would be considered winners if the large animal was killed, but losers if many of them were disabled that the rest refused to attack. Sometimes apes were used instead of bears."  - https://www.tomecek.com/jay/RecreationandSports.html

What does this say about how governments attempted to regulate public behavior and morality? - Siyu https://padlet.com/naperville203/ulxzojcyzten/wish/2410695914 The English wanted to deport every single homeless person, while the Genevans tried to get them on track in life and help provide them mentors. This shows that the Calvinists values that they believed, willing to offer opportunities to everybody as long as they equally put in the work, meanwhile the English just had a blanket ban on vagrants, vagabonds and beggars because of the negative associations with their name.]]> 2022-12-06 13:58:07 UTC https://padlet.com/naperville203/ulxzojcyzten/wish/2410695914 Question 22: What demographic change is Oliver Goldsmith describing in his poem? How does Goldsmith feel about the change? https://padlet.com/naperville203/ulxzojcyzten/wish/2410696801 Goldsmith describes the urbanization that happened in English cities like London. As agriculture became more efficient, fewer jobs were available, so more peasants started moving to poorly sanitized cities to live in slums and search for jobs. Goldsmith mourns the loss of the simpler and fairer life enjoyed by peasants working in agriculture. ]]> 2022-12-06 13:58:42 UTC https://padlet.com/naperville203/ulxzojcyzten/wish/2410696801 Question 18: How were rituals of public humiliation utilized to enforce communal norms? (Josh) https://padlet.com/naperville203/ulxzojcyzten/wish/2410697145 Although the early modern period saw the rise of urbanization and market economies, for many people, life remained firmly in more rural communes. Local and church authorities used rituals of public humiliation such as whipping and pillory to discourage acts such as theft, as described in a Russian report from the Novgorod Province. These rituals essentially called out the perpetrators in front of their entire community and dissuaded both them and the onlookers of continuing such behaviors. ]]> 2022-12-06 13:58:55 UTC https://padlet.com/naperville203/ulxzojcyzten/wish/2410697145
