DISCUSSION QUESTION: After reading the assigned textbook chapter and watching the video, “The Black Death,” what were some of the psychological issues for 14th-century people related to the bubonic plague, also known as the “Black Death”? What were some of the ways that people tried to avoid the plague? Were they successful? What do you think might be some of the social implications of a plague that killed up to two thirds of the population of western Europe?
