In at least 300 words, answer the following question:

The Middle Ages in Europe are often seen as a backward period, especially when compared to the ancient world of Greece and Rome, while others often see the Middle Ages as an era of vibrancy and growth. With this mind and focusing on at least three of the four course themes of government, religion, gender, and social class, were the High Middle Ages in Europe between 1000 and 1300 a period of decline, a period of growth, or a mixture of the two?  

Suggestion for formulating a clear answer: Instead of just describing the Middle Ages in Europe between 1000 and 1300, explain for each selected course theme whether or not it is proof that the Middle Ages in Europe between 1000 and 1300 were a period of decline, a period of growth, or a mixture of the two. Then based on your conclusions for each theme, come to your general conclusion about whether the Middle Ages in Europe between 1000 and 1300 were a period of decline, a period of growth, or a mixture of the two.
