Transcript The_Norman_times_vs._Now

Introduction
My project is about comparing of the Norman times to the 21st Century. I will
look at a number of areas including:
•War
•Lifestyle
•Food
•Houses
•Transport
•Weaponry
I will finish off by saying which time I prefer.
Horses to
helicopters, tanks
and planes.
During the medieval times soldiers
rode horses because they didn’t
have any technology, were as now
a days we have machines like:
Tanks, Helicopters and Planes.
Bow and
Arrow to
Guns
One of the most popular
weapons in Norman times
was the bow and arrow,
where as now a days we
have: Guns, Bombs and
Knifes to name but a few.
Medieval
huts To
Mansions
In the medieval times the sort
of houses they had were like
huts, in the 21st century we
have: Mansions, Flats, Hotels
and Terrace Houses.
Foods then,
to Foods now
Back in the medieval time people
eat foods like bread, pears, apples
and many different meats and
vegetables. But now a days we eat
a lot of different foods like KFC,
McDonalds, subway and more.
Horse and carriages
to cars, motorbikes
and trains.
In the medieval times they used a
horse and carriage to transport
items and people around, but in the
21st century we have vehicles like:
Cars, motorbikes, trains and other
forms of transport.
Canons to
heavy guns
and rocket
launchers.
Back in the Norman times
they used canons as heavy
weaponry, but now a days
we have heavy machine
guns, rocket launchers and
loads more weapons.
EVALUATION
My project has been about the differences of living in medieval times compared with living in modern times ie
living around the time of the Battle of Hastings and living in the 21st Century.
While researching my project I have looked at various areas of life including:
•War
•Lifestyle
•Food
•Houses
•Transport
•Weaponry
I have found out that life in the modern day is a lot better and we are more advanced in all the above areas than
it was in the medieval times. Life in medieval times was very basic and everything had to be worked for whereas
today we have advanced so much that we do not have to work as much for things ie we can just go to the shop
and buy a loaf of bread but in Medieval England they would have had to make it from scratch.
Other areas that have greatly improved are the weapons. Our modern day army is equipped with so many
weapons for both land and sea as well as air . In Medieval England they only had the use of bows and arrows,
swords and horses for combat. William the Conqueror had to sail for days across the English Channel to get to
England for the Battle of Hastings and he would only have had horseback to travel on. Nowadays we can cross
the channel within minutes and have the use of all sorts of military transport.
I think that I would prefer to live in the modern day than live in Medieval times as we have so much more in all
the above areas then they did back then. Life was more simple for Medieval England so they wouldn’t have had
the stresses we have today but I would still prefer to live now.
