The Black Plague was the worst pandemic in history, wiping out nearly a third of the population of Europe during the 13th century, but it can also be considered a turning point of history. The Black Plague caused a ripple effect that had a hand in the change of societal construct, religion, the arts, and medicine. Societal Hierarchy During the High Middle Ages, Feudalism and the Societal Hierarchy was the social construct of the land. In that time period only 10% of peasants were actually free men

The 1918 Flu Pandemic is considered to be one of the deadliest natural disasters in human history, estimated to have affected up to 33% and killing anywhere between 3% and 6% of the world population at the time. It killed up to 20% of those infected, as opposed to the usual flu epidemic mortality rate of 0.1%. The disease also distinguished itself in its morbidity and mortality patterns as it predominantly killed previously healthy young adults more than it did children and the elderly. Modern research

In the introduction of his book The First Horseman: Disease in Human History, John Aberth discusses the types and causes of diseases. He also explains the impact of disease. One thing I took note of was the differentiation between an epidemic and a pandemic. An epidemic is an outbreak of a disease that would erupt and prevail among large numbers of the community. A pandemic spreads across large geographical areas from one society to another. According to Eamon all diseases vary in their morbidity

When the plague struck lots of the population of slaves and peasants died, which meant that there was a huge struggle for landowners to find workers for their fields. This meant that peasants could demand higher wages and had lots of bargaining power. This is because

To say that the flu of 1918 (The Spanish flu) was huge would be an understatement. Over the course of two years this flu killed millions of people not only in the United States but a total of five hundred million people worldwide.

Type A is further broken down into two classifications based on their proteins, these classifications are: hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase

must keep their guard up and always watch for signs of sickness among their flocks of birds. In Italy in 1878 the Fowl Plague, later named the avian influenza, or H5N1, was discovered. The virus outbreaks, first mainly found in chickens, and then found in all types of poultry, would force poultry industries to lose millions of dollars in their birds. The two of the worst plagues of this virus in the United States, in 1924 and 1929, caused millions of domestic poultry, including chickens, turkeys

Cancer is one of the most terrible maladies that a person living in the contemporary society can possibly think of. It is responsible for the deaths of millions of individuals every year and it is very probable that rates are going to go up in the near future. The disease affects a series of sectors in the present-day society, as it does not only have a negative effect for the people who suffer from it. Many people are unable to understand that cancer is a very complex entity and that it destroys

this plague suffered from delusions, nightmares, fevers and swellings in the groin, armpits and behind their ears. Some of the sufferers went into comas while others reported being highly delusional.

Europeans and Native Americans were first introduced to each other when Europeans arrived at the New World, the northeastern side of North America. Native Americans were originally perceived as noble savages through writings because humans were not tempted by the narcissism of the modern world.
