Persuasive Essay Medieval Europe
As I have traveled back in time to Medieval Europe, I have encountered many troubles with this land. One of the major reasons why you should not come here in the year of 1348 is because of the Black plague. Some other reasons are due to lack of proper hygiene, and health care/antibiotics. In the present, life was much greater than here in Europe.
The Black Death is one of the reasons to why you should not come to Medieval Europe. It comes from fleas, which travel on rats. The Black Death was known to have killed half of Europe’s population, which could be you. It was brought over from Asia to Europe. There were two types of Bubonic Plagues, Bubonic Plague and the Pneumonic Plague. The first had a 50% death ratio, as the other had a 90% ratio. This was mostly caused because of the lack of proper hygiene.
Proper hygiene had caused the percentage of deaths to be as high as it was. This was because people in Medieval Europe had though that if you would take a bath or shower, your pours would open up, leading to bacteria getting trapped inside. Ironically, taking baths unclogged pours containing bacteria. I am sure that anyone coming back in time from the present would not want to be next to filthy people who do not cleanse themselves.
Antibiotics were not invented because the Europeans had believed that disease came from angry gods. If you were to have gotten the plague, or any other illness, you would have no luck finding a cure. Although rich people were treated on, most of the time it would cause more illness and pain. They would not try to help you if you were poor.
Due to not having much technology about medical sciences, Medieval Europe is not the place to go. This is because if you had gotten ill, doctors would leave you to die. I advise you not to come, if you do, there is a 50% chance of dying. I would rather stay in the present .
