different houses to voice disparate opinions. However, the two systems of government more often contrast with each other. Parliament, unlike Congress, represents houses through a specific order in society. Members of the House of Lords inherited their seats through ancestors attaining peerage, which is a title of nobility. This specific order lasted from the eighteenth century until 1999 when the Labor government abolished the hereditary right to a seat. Currently, in the House of Lords members…

David starts out by saying, “Trust in the LORD, and do good; so, you will live in the land, and enjoy security. Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.” (Psalms 37:4-5). God doesn’t want anyone to struggle and worry. God wants us to trust that the Lord will always be there to guide us out of obstacles that may arise in life. Later throughout Psalm 37, God changes to being presumptuous because the Lord does know all. Verses 12 and 13 states, “The wicked…

of Feudalism. It was based on a set of rights between a lord and his serfs. The Manor System was happening during the time of Feudalism and was a way of earning money and having power. The system was very one sided money wise. Between the lord and the serfs, the lord would benefit the most. The Manor System was a way to compromise all the “lands, buildings, and individuals” that belonged to a lord (Streissguth). The system worked by a lord giving out “housing, farmland, and protection from…

ages. (SIP-A) Feudalism was based on how the lord exchanged land for military service. (STEWE-1)He could give as little as 10 acres. He can also give 1000 acres (A Smith ). Some of these peasants were given or rented their own sections of the estate to work and live on, but the peasants can not own land. The land is owned by the lord or the vassal (A Smith ). (STEWE-2) in return the king would be safe from all the attacks. The lords that the king gave his land to, made people become…

king, but instead by individual lords, also known as barons. These lords or so called barons administered their own estates, dispensed their own justice, minted their own money, levied taxes and tolls, and demanded military service from vassals. Feudalism in short was a relationship of obligation and mutual service between vassals and lords. A vassal held his land, or fief, as a grant from the lord. So in return for the land a vassal was required to attend to the lord, help administer justice,…

structure of the feudal manor, essential to how feudalism flourished. During the Middle Ages, the lords and the serfs typically lived within one estate, known as the manor. Given to the lord from an overlord of theirs, they were to manage and rule over the entire land, as well as those who lived within. Originating from the french word, meneir—to dwell, the inhabitants of the manor worked for the lord in return for protection and shelter, often living in that manor their entire lives (Jovinelly…

answering is the one concerning journeys. We have read and discussed in class a few stories that deal with journeys. The three that I will be looking at are, Asleep in the Lord, Artificial Nigger, and Remains of the Day. The story Asleep in the Lord follows a man named Mitchel, who traveled to India to help in a Mother Teresa house. He is a man that has been traveling for some time trying to find a place where he can feel like he is making a difference and belongs. In the story, it says,”…

class did. The church created the idea known as the great chain of being which expressed how some people were better than other and should have more rights(Richardson). This meaning Serfs had less rights while upper classes had more rights, like the lord and nobles. This is what they based the feudal system off of so some people had more power than other people did (Richardson). The Great Chain of Being created a very unfair and ruthless economy that favors people and treats some people with…

very prominent social structure set into place. The Middle Ages had people such as; Kings, Lords, Nobles, Knights and, Peasants. During this time period, there was a Feudal system in place. This system meant that if someone like a peasant worked for a lord or the King, they would be rewarded with land. This system kept everyone satisfied. To be a knight meant that you were to fight, protect and work for the Lords of an area. Since the knights represented people of higher social status, there was…
