It is seen in two different large events, The Black Plague and the 100 Years War. The Black Plague was characterized by the people trying to find something or someone to place the blame on. They were able to find something, like God, the Jews, or the cosmos, to be a scape goat, and effectively use it to enhance their political agendas. Not only were they looking to place the blame on something, but they also saw it as a way to react to the plague. The 100 Years War was about a difference in tactics. The small English army was able to pummel the French army in the battle of Crecy because of their ability to fire the longbows. Not only were the long bows effective, but their plan was able to be executed because of their patience, as opposed to the French army that was largely emotional.

The ideas of people were starting to become integrated, and others were starting to find more intuitive answers to their problems. Without the change into a more questioning society the Middle Ages would have lasted longer than they
