The medieval concept of power and equality was different than it is today because they did not have equality like we do now. The medieval concept of equality was what class you were born into was the class you stayed in throughout your life. If you were a serf you would not be able to earn more money and become rich. Now, we have social mobility. This means that you can change your social status; poor can become rich and rich can become poor. Most of the power was held by the Church, unlike now, where the power is held by the government. The medieval concept and the modern concept are extremely different and the future concept will be different also.
