What were the major causes of the weakening and eventual fall of the Feudal System?

In what ways did a symbiotic relationship exist between the social classes of the Middle Ages? Explain completely.
|
During the middle ages the social classes depended greatly on each other. The lower class need the lords to protect them from harm, as they could not protect themselves. In the same way the Lords needed the serfs to do practically everything from growing their food to making their clothes. The king needed the lords as well to watch and rule his land. Without the other classes each class would have no means of protection, no food or clothing, or no one to watch their land.

Does the "End Goal justify the means" or "The means justify the end"?
|
In my opinion the ends do not justify the means, nor do the means justify the end. Just because you got the right ending does not make doing something mortally wrong get the ending okay. And likewise with the alternative of doing good to only achieve a wrong ending. For example, it is wrong to shoot a man to save a dog or to help an old lady across the street when you know someone over there will mug her.
