Back in the Middle Ages, 50% of people died from a terrible disease called the Bubonic Plague. Though this plague was devastating, many great advancements came from this. Art and literature had a new age of change, going from dark to bright. Science expanded, giving us new ideas about the universe. From this period we know many great things, but what would happen if the plague broke out now?

In the Middle Ages, many peoples values changed. They came together to support one another and looked to education to school their beliefs. Now, from how divided our country is, I don’t think it would have that same effect. I think many people would isolate themselves to their devices and only communicate to people by technology.
