How did the PLAGUE impact the following??
1. Work-Force
2. Catholic Church
3. Cities
4. Population
1. Work-Force; Europe's population had been hard hit, which had an economic impact. The workforce had been destroyed -- farms were abandoned and buildings crumbled. The price of labor skyrocketed in the face of worker shortage, and the cost of goods rose. The price of food, though, didn't go up, perhaps because the population had declined so much.
2. Catholic Church; Feeling, essentially, that God had turned his back on them, the people reacted to the end of the Black Death by turning their backs on him.
3. Cities; The range of figures shown is meant to show that death will come for everyone, and the various activities depicted are a reminder that death could always be right around the corner.
3. Population; Geneticists are continuing to document the effects of the Black Death on Europe's population today. Analysis has shown that genetic diversity in England is much lower than it was in the eleventh century, perhaps because so many people died in the 1300s. While the rest of Europe does not show a lowered amount of genetic variation, that may be due to increased migration patterns in other places.
