Which time period would you preferred to have lived in the Renaissance or the middle ages explain your reasons why?

Personally, I would have preferred to have lived during the Middle Ages. One reason is that people in the Renaissance looked down on those of the Middle Ages as barbarians, but the people of the Renaissance were more superstitious and less rational. They pursued witch hunts and suppressed science in ways that were not done in the Middle Ages. Unfortunately, we tend to buy the propaganda of the Renaissance, partly because they were the only ones who could make the comparison - the people of the Middle Ages did not know what was coming. There was a lot of activity in the Middle Ages in engineering, science, philosophy, education, and mathematics that we little of today. The people of the Renaissance tried to work in these fields, but took a less practical and more cosmological point of view, resulting in ecclesiastical suppression. The food and medicine in the High Middle Ages and Late Middle Ages were no worse that that of the Renaissance. The people of the Middle Ages believed that cleanliness was next to godliness, so they were clean. They also believed that bad air, with bad smells, could carry diseases. The people of the Renaissance covered their bad smells with perfume and called the Middle Ages stinky. The people of the Middle Ages believed in their religion and believed a person was no better than his word. The Renaissance produced Macchiavelli and people who thought he was just dandy. One thing the Renaissance had was a greater proportion of houses that had fireplaces and chimneys.


Were the Middle Ages civilised?

Life was ok in the middle ages everyone did their fair share of work and all had houses to live in. They all had different jobs but it all added up and got paid for their work. Crime was different depending on what you had done and was fair but not that civilized. The entertainment was good and there was plenty to do even though only rich people were allowed to take part in games like jousting and archery. My opinion is that not everything was as great as it could have been for example having your hands cut off but overall I think the middle ages was quite civilized.
