    that of ignorance. In war it can mean life or death‚ and in everyday life if you ignore the problem or person long enough it can destroy your life or the life of someone very close to you or that you are trying to protect.

    I do not believe the Middle Ages reflected darkness or embodied ignorance. Even though this period had centuries to produce new technology‚ they still contributed in the molding of today’s society. Their contribution was the improved innovation on “borrowed” technology. When people refer to the Middle Ages as “dark‚” they might be associating the “darkness” with the looming death that engulfed the period. One famously horrific encounter of death was the plague‚ Mr. Broedel states “…Europe lost between
