Examples of High Middle Ages in the following topics:
-
- Crimes were punished harshly during the Middle Ages with torture and executions common place for even the smallest of offenses.
- To be hanged, drawn and quartered was from 1351 a statutory penalty in England for men convicted of high treason, although the ritual was first recorded during the reigns of King Henry III (1216–1272) and his successor, Edward I (1272–1307).
- For reasons of public decency, women convicted of high treason were instead burned at the stake.

- The early half of the Gilded Age roughly coincided with the middle portion of the Victorian era in Britain and the Belle Époque in France.
- However, the Gilded Age was also an era of abject poverty and inequality as millions of immigrants—many from impoverished European nations—poured into the United States, and the high concentration of wealth became more visible and contentious.
- Unions crusaded for the eight-hour working day and the abolition of child labor; middle-class reformers demanded civil service reform, prohibition, and women's suffrage.
- Local governments across the North and West built public schools chiefly at the elementary level; public high schools started to emerge.
- A book cover of The Gilded Age by Mark Twain (1st edition, 1873).
-
- In the Progressive Era that followed the Gilded Age, the United States became a world power.
- The Gilded Age saw impressive economic growth and the unprecedented expansion of major cities.
- Unions crusaded for the eight-hour working day and the abolition of child labor; middle class reformers demanded civil service reform, prohibition, and women's suffrage.
- Socially, the period was marked by large-scale immigration from Germany and Scandinavia to the industrial centers and to western farmlands, the deepening of religious organizations, the rapid growth of high schools, and the emergence of a managerial and professional middle class.
- Built in 1893, it typifies the excesses of Gilded Age wealth.
-
- Age structure data allow the rate of growth (or decline) to be associated with a population's level of economic development.
- Countries with declining populations, such as Japan, have a bulge in the middle of their age structure diagram.
- The bulge indicates relatively-few young individuals, and a higher proportion of middle-aged and older individuals.
- For example, in the Middle East and North Africa, around 65 percent of the population is under the age of 30.
- These high growth rates lead to the so-called "youth bulge," which some experts believe is a cause of social unrest and economic problems such as high unemployment.
-
- The upper-middle class refers to people within the middle class that have high educational attainment, high salaries, and high status jobs.
- Their professions require high educational status, are well-compensated, and are held in high esteem.
- According to his definition, the middle class consists of an upper-middle class, made up of professionals distinguished by exceptionally high educational attainment and high economic security; and a lower-middle class, consisting of semi-professionals.
- The U.S. upper-middle class consists mostly of white-collar professionals who have a high degree of autonomy in their work.
- Holding advanced degrees and high status in corporations and institutions tends to insulate the upper-middle class from economic downturns.
-
- The Information Age has impacted the workforce in several ways.
- Solutions that involve having the workers work less hours are usually met with high resistance from the workers.
- Jobs traditionally associated with the middle class (assembly line workers, data processors, foremen, and supervisors) are beginning to disappear, either through outsourcing or automation.
- The polarization of jobs into relatively high-skill, high wage jobs and low-skill, low-wage jobs has led to a growing disparity between incomes of the rich and poor.

- The Oseberg ship was discovered in a burial mound in Norway and is one of the finest artistic and archaeological finds from the Viking Age.
- Likewise, the ship head post—representing a roaring beast—is five inches high with complicated surface ornamentation in the form of interwoven animals that twist and turn.
- This ship is widely celebrated as one of the finest artistic and archaeological finds to have survived the Viking Age.
- Regardless, the opulence of the burial rite and the grave goods suggests that this was a burial of very high status.
-
- Stone Age art illustrates early human creativity through small portable objects, cave paintings, and early sculpture and architecture.
- The Stone Age is the first of the three-age system of archaeology, which divides human technological prehistory into three periods: the Stone Age, Bronze Age, and Iron Age.
- The Stone Age lasted roughly 3.4 million years, from 30,000 BCE to about 3,000 BCE, and ended with the advent of metalworking.
- The art of the Stone Age represents the first accomplishments in human creativity, preceding the invention of writing.
- By the Iron Age, civilizations with writing had arisen from Ancient Egypt to Ancient China.
-
- Middle age is the period of age beyond young adulthood but before the onset of old age.
- Census lists middle age as including people aged from 35 to 54, while developmental psychologist Erik Erikson argues that middle adulthood occurs from the age of 40 until 65.
- Strength and flexibility also decrease throughout middle age.
- Diana DeGette, a politician from Colorado, was born in 1957 and is in the middle age stage of life.
- Discuss the implications of middle age in terms of fading physical health and mortality concerns

- A prelude to the Age of Discovery was a series of European expeditions
crossing Eurasia by land in the late Middle Ages undertaken by a number of explorers, including Marco Polo, who left behind the most detailed and inspiring record of his travels across Asia.
- A prelude to the Age of Discovery was a series of European expeditions crossing Eurasia by land in the late Middle Ages.
- Most were Italians, as trade between Europe and the Middle East was controlled mainly by the Maritime republics.
- The geographical exploration of the late Middle Ages eventually led to what today is known as the Age of Discovery: a loosely defined European historical period from the 15th century to the 18th century that witnessed extensive overseas exploration emerged as a powerful factor in European culture and globalization.
- Recall the exploration of Eurasia in the Middle Ages by Marco Polo, which was a prelude to the advent of the Age of Discovery in the 15th Century
