discussion board question 107
For this assignment, you can chose one the following options to focus on:
Option A: The Vikings were more than marauders, although they did rape, pillage, and plunder parts of Europe and strike fear into the hearts of many. Discuss Viking culture (you may choose to discuss any/all: religion, war, economy, gender constructs, life styles). Why did the Vikings move from their homes, how did they do so and why were they so successful, and what occurred as a result in a few specific areas (you may choose from England, France, the Byzantine world, Ireland, Greenland, or Russia).
Option B: Discuss the term renaissance (what does it mean?) and the development of the Italian Renaissance. Describe its features and some of its notable figures – artistic and literary. What is new about this time and what themes are based on past art, architecture, and literature? What relationship does the Italian renaissance have to the Protestant reformations?
The words count must be at least 500 words. Remember to specify which option you chose and please answer whichever option you chose to the full extent.
