Change and Continuity in Western Europe from the Middle Ages to the Early Modern Era.

A united and strong nation begins with a strong and united family. It begins with togetherness. As I consider my own family and the community around me, my nation, it concerns me that we have lost so much of the past, severed our roots. Even a mighty oak, when its roots are severed will come crashing down. Our lives have become too complex, too busy and we have gone from truly living to merely existing caught up in the whirlwind of this much too fast paced and self-centered world and we the people have allowed it to happen. Maybe it is time for real change beginning with you and me.
