Social Changes Resulting From Bubonic Plague : A 6
page
paper discussing both immediate and long-lasting changes
brought on by necessary shifts in custom in response to the loss
of 1/3 of Europes population during the Black Death. The
Black Plague put the entire structure of society in flux as people
lived in very fear for their lives and tried to deal with life in as
normal manner as possible while half cities fell all around them.
Perhaps the most lasting changes arose from the necessity of
letting new blood into established institutions such as law and
medicine in order to assure their continuance. These people
brought new patterns of thinking, and many of them may have
never had any other opportunity to rise beyond their peasant
status had the plague not made both land and position available.
It was a time of the first respect for the power of labor, and it
was the time of the first recorded persecution of the Jews.
