Answer 1

lets think about propriety, a thousand years ago women were kept secluded from men in public and at home except from their husbands and fathers. then we skip ahead to the middle ages and the rennaisance where there was a whole new set of rules for propriety. Now skip to the victorian age and look at the way women and men were expected to dress and act then. In the last century we've seen the transition from long skirts, long hair, bonnets, short pants for boys and collars to men all the way to the styles of practically nothing today. Some of the clothes young women wear today are smaller than the underwear of just a few decades ago. And the gentlemen, their hair and baggy clothes wouldn't be allowed by anyone even as close as the 50's early 60's. I imagine it will continue on this cycle until we are all running around naked, or return to the older ideas of modesty. I know this isn't of huge importance but modesty and sexuality influence more than we think.

Answer 2

Changed? Free thinkers brought us everything including the technology we use today - creative minds keep the world fresh with new ideas so we don't get in a rut

Stayed the same -- people still have the same lusts, desires, dreams, hopes and fears as 1000 years ago - after all - look how many love poems survived!

Better or worse - depends on what you want to consider? Weapons and violence - worse, morals of people - worse; health - better; living conditions better.

In the future - I think there will be less people the earth is very overcrowded and major things will happen to wipe out the population so the earth can live on. She'll take care of us, for better or worse.

Answer 3

How do you think it will change or stay the same in the next 1,000 years?

*** If we, humans, do not take in consideration the harmful effects our inventions cost our planet and every living thing in Earth, in the next 1000 years, we will all be extinct.

Answer 4

The world has changed a great deal over the last thousand years, in many ways, technology, farming, industry, geopolitical, family dynamics and belief systems. We as human beings have become more educated, health conscious, longer lived and wealthier in our lifestyles. But unless we curb our waste and excess over the next two centuries the human race will be doomed and will not survive the next thousand years. We will go the way of the dinosaur and become extinct.

Answer 5

In Western culture, advancement of civilization came out of a slump and quickly peaked, and culture became more secular. While my knowledge isn't great about other parts of the world, I think it mostly stayed the same in places like Africa and the Middle East, with the exception of interaction with Westerners. But don't quote me on that.

Life is also much more complex than it was 1000 years ago.

Answer 6

The most obvious change and from 1000 years ago to date is the increase in population. Unless for some unforeseen reason the human population starts dying out, this increase will only grow and never decrease... thus, I believe, will be the catalyst for human annihilation.

Answer 8

1000 years ago we didnot have all dat many technology so, even when we had wars they did not result in so many civils dying...now a days when us bombs iraq, more kids,women and innocent civilian die then soilders...back then im gussing the carbondioxide levels were low cuz we didnot have so many cars and industries....people did not have a general sense of hate toword other people...i think it will change in next 1000 years...first it will go down the drain like it is now then we might have like another big bang and we'll probably have a new age....i dont kno its crazy i kno but it just seems like we cant go on for much longer like how we r rite now......Every one is fighting over money and oil...greed is takin over humanity and people care about them selfs more then others.....people are willing to kill other people for things like money and house....i think u have to agree with me when i say that rite now the world is not in a good shape.....Our population would probably stabilize around 10 billion though..i think i read dat in a book once...any way we wont be alive..

Answer 9

The biggest change in the last 1000 years is the discovery of electricity.

Answer 10

I could not know for sure since I have not observed it for 1000 years, I only have other peoples concept of how it has changed, but I can tell you how it has changed in the last 30 years. and it doesn't seem as though it has changed for the better of everyone involved. children have more freedoms but less security. adults have more responsibilities and more competition and less education.
