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 Europe’s 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. Bibliography lists 6
