Write a paragraph or two in which you note how Cornavirus and the Black Death are different and how they are similar.

History

Kipish [7]3 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

In the mid-14th century, the Black Death killed up to 50% of Europe's population.

The current death toll from corona-virus-19 stands at more than 3,000 worldwide.

700 years after the Black Death, the spread of misinformation and xenophobia is markedly similar.

Although some media outlets have begun referring to the outbreak of the novel corona virus as a “modern plague”, the threat of corona virus remains negligible compared with historic outbreaks of plague. The latest World Health Organization report puts the corona virus death toll at just over 3,000 globally, whereas the Black Death was responsible for the deaths of an estimated 30-50% of Europe’s population in the mid-14th century. The most disturbing similarity between the two lies not in the diseases themselves but in their social consequences. Then, as now, outbreaks were blamed on certain ethnic groups.

As far as we know, the Black Death originated in or near China. It then followed pilgrimage routes throughout the Middle East, eventually entering Europe through trade routes from Italy. As with corona virus, plague outbreaks led to the enforced quarantine of infected households and the creation of specialist task forces that monitored and controlled contagion.

In your opinion, do you believe the
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

No, the Crusades weren’t justifiable. The Arab/Muslim conquest of the region centuries earlier wasn’t justifiable either. There were no good guys or bad guys in that conflict. Both sides were wrong.

From the perspective of Jews and Samaritans, it was really just two colonial powers (Crusaders and Arabs) fighting over a land that never rightfully belonged to either of them in the first place.

Explanation:

What is important today is to understand that the unjustified reaction of the Christian community to actions in the Holy Land can be compared to the reaction of people in the Muslim world to Western dominance. So, instead of something like the Crusades was seen as an acceptance by many Muslims of terrorism. If the Christian Crusades were bad, so is the Muslim acceptance for decades of terrorism, particularly towards Israeli civilians.
