Dominion

God's sovereignty over his creation. Some other examples that show us this is the flood in Genesis chapter 6-9 and the story of the Tower of Babel in Genesis 11.

At one point in the film, Erik rebukes Raven, remarking “You want society to accept you, but you can't even accept yourself”. Erik is displeased because Raven’s self-denial ultimately serves as deference to the societal institution. Her desperation to be normal contributes to popular conceptions of normalcy as the ideal.

The economy had become more dependant and lenient, allowing social mobility. Wherefore, feudalism had dismantled, and without a powerful jurisdiction, people followed the Church for a solution. Howbeit, the disease was out of their dominion, and society became unfaithful and desperate. It was due to this that they blindly believed in conspiracies and superstitions to resolve their problems. Thence, the surmise stating society in the middle ages did not understand the plague is irrefutable…

I am a recent non-traditional transfer student into the history department at the University of California-Los Angeles. I began my collegiate career at the age of 22 after working in the restaurant industry for 5 years.
