Civ I Final Exam preparation sheet
Dr. Matt O’Brien
Part I- I will select two of the following four questions for the final exam, and you will be
expected to answer one of them in an informative, well-organized essay.
1) “The collapse of the Roman Empire during the fifth century A.D. cast European
society and culture into a thousand-year ‘Dark Age,’ marked by the nearextinction of Western civilization.” Do you agree or disagree? Why?
2) Does the papacy deserve its reputation as the single dominant institution of the
Middle Ages?
3) What do the Middle Ages teach us about the relationship between religious and
political authority?
4) What as more important to the Reformation: the longterm causes from the 14th
Century or the immediate events of the late fifteenth century?
5) Discuss the image of the Christian (Catholic) Church as a monolithic, unchanging
institution during the second half of the medieval period (i.e., 1000-1500 AD).
