Question 1: How did trade affect the spread of religion during the Middle Ages?  Using details from at least two documents from the lesson, as well as information from the other lessons for support, write one to two paragraphs answering the above question.  What two documents will you use to support your response? Document E and Document F  Response:  In the Middle Ages, trade played an important role in religious spread. In Document E, for instance, the map depicts how Islam spread to Africa as well as trade from the Middle East. Buddhist civilization spread farther west along the Silk Road. The trade between companies in cities such as Constantinople led to a lot of influences from foreign cultures and religions. The cities like Kiev hardly influenced each other because they weren't major centers of commerce. They were influenced by the traders who came and went whenever they came and went. This was also the case in Japan when Buddhism took root. It was Chinese traders who brought Buddhism to Japan. The predominant religion in Japan would still be Shinto if there was no trade.   Question 2: How does the art of the Middle Ages reflect the events and ideas of the Middle Ages?  Using details from at least two documents from the lesson, as well as information from the other lessons for support, write one to two paragraphs answering the above question.  What two documents will you use to support your response? Document C and Document D Response:  Artistic expressions of the Middle Ages reflect ideas, events, and trends of those times. A famous example is Joan of Arc's painting. Through this painting, we can see the influence of religion on political decisions at the time. Middle-aged people were extremely religious during this time and acted out in the name of their faith or god. Joan of Arc is depicted in the painting with a banner that contains three angels. The banner is a representation of her service to heaven and god. Among French people, Joan of Arc was regarded as a famous heroine and a symbol of national unification. She was credited with liberating a city from the English. As Joanna of Arc is wearing armor in the painting, we can infer this. Similarly, the Kokin Wakash Anthology of Medieval Art reflects the lives of people living back then. Especially noteworthy are 1000 poems from Japan from the middle ages. Also included are biographical sketches of the poets and their influences. It is easy to see how the poems reflect the way people lived and spent their time during the Middle Ages in Japan because they were divided into categories like seasons, love, and travel. 

 Question 3: Is "the Dark Ages" an appropriate term to describe the Middle Ages? Why or why not?  Using details from at least two documents from the lesson, as well as information from the other lessons for support, write one to two paragraphs answering the above question.  What two documents will you use to support your response? Document A and Document B Response:  A better name for the Middle Ages might be called the Dark Ages. Because of the lack of information during this time, it was known as the dark ages. According to the American Cyclopedia, it was a period of intellectual depression during the Dark Ages. The Magna Carta, Justinian's Code, the first universities, as well as the Parliament came from this period. Most of the laws in many countries today are based on the Roman Code and the Magna Carta. Additionally, parliament and the Magna Carta constitute the backbone of democracy. Among other works from the Middle Ages, these are among the most noteworthy. Besides protecting rights, the Magna Carta contained restrictions on the power of the king. This is also reflected in the United States constitution, which states that "the English Church is to be free and to enjoy all of its rights and liberties.". When an important idea such as freedom was born during this period, the Middle Age seemed less "dark" of intellectualism. Middle-age influences can be seen in many things in modern life. ...
