Living in Medieval America vs. Living in Modern America

A lot of comparisons can be made between medieval America and the modern world. There has been a significant improvement in all aspects of life, from religion, technology, and how people reason, relative to the two time periods. People from the medieval age would find it difficult to adjust to the modern world because of the many changes that have taken place. Technology is replacing some of the techniques that had been invented in medieval times, all of which had been purposed to assure man of a comfortable living (Hudson, n.d.). The culture between the two worlds is also different. People in medieval times held onto their culture more than those of the modern world seemingly ever can get to do. Modern America cannot be said to value its culture, even half as much as medieval America used to. Life in medieval America compares, but only unfavorably, to life in the modern world. The society in medieval America valued their religion, quite unlike the modern one, which takes religion for granted. People in medieval times were close to their gods and had respect for the supernatural. The modern world hardly believes that there is life after death or even, in the existence of a supernatural being who must have created them. In the current world, people do not mainly focus on religion, unlike in the medieval world, where religion was the main focus of people’s lives. In terms of technology, the modern world is inventing machinery to replace most of the work that was done manually in medieval times. Technology has significantly improved the quality and efficiency of how to work in the modern world is done, unlike in the medieval age where things were done in a manner that was slow and didn’t as such have assurances on quality. Culture is also another aspect of life that has changed during the transition of medieval America to the modern world. The modern world is slowly losing the meaning of culture as people are diversifying their values and norms and per se, not holding onto the culture of yesteryears (Ferris, 1999). Living in medieval America comes nothing close to living in modern America. A lot has changed and even much more continues to change as the modern world advances in terms of technology, religion, culture, and also in things to do with other aspects of life. Technology has made things easier in the modern world unlike in medieval times when everything had to be done manually. The quality of work, products, and services has significantly improved due to the changes in technology. Religion has lost its meaning in the modern world, as quite a good number of people no longer value it. In the medieval age, people treated religion as the main aspect of their life. Their main purpose in life was to please and worship their creator. Culture is also the other aspect that has experienced significant changes in the transition between the medieval and modern worlds.
