I choose to research in medieval Game and Entertainment from 1000-1700

Here is my proposal:

Medieval Times Entertainments and Games

   

Every human being regardless of where or in the what period they lived in, all wanted to live their life joyfully. When we think of medieval times, the first thing that comes to our mind is the warlike character of people. People at that time also enjoyed going to events, feasts, games, and sports just like us. For my Magazine research paper, I am thinking of researching medieval Times Entertainment and Games. I want to focus on what they did during their free time. If they participated in tournaments, played board games, or did any sports. I would like to find out if anyone was prohibited from participating in the medieval game. For instance, based on their ranking in society, did anyone get excluded from participating in certain sports or games. What type of game was played by a different region of people at that time? Did religion or culture restrict people from playing a certain type of game?  I would like to find out if these games and entertainment were isolated from other groups of people. One of the most famous games that was played in medieval Europe by the Christians was: Chess, Table, and Dicing. Chess was more common at the local level rather than centralized ones (Olson, Page 2).  In some regions, Chess was not allowed because people started to gamble while participating in chess. I will go more in-depth in these entertainments and games around the medieval time and look at if these games impacted people living conditions positively or negatively.

Find a copy of a myth from any world mythological tradition. Greek mythology, modern myths and urban legends can also be used. PLEASE FOCUS ON ONE MYTH. When writing this paper do not restate what the myth is, INSTEAD analyze it and answer the following questions:
1. What does it tell us about the culture or society that created it?
2. Is this myth still relevant or meaningful to people today, and why?
3. What theories might explain why this myth was created and utilized?

Please note that this does not need a bibliography, however it does need a citation from where you found the myth.
