After examining background information about the Anglo-Saxon period and Old English, write a paragraph comparing and contrasting Anglo-Saxon culture and/or Old English language with the culture you live in today. Are they completely alien of each other or are there interesting similarities?
I would say that there are a lot of similarities. For example, the Romans were very greedy and made the Welsh do backbreaking work so they could make money. This reminds of me of huge corporations that make the little guy do a lot of work, but with very little profit. I would also say though that they are very different because it would take a lot less people now to do the jobs described in the video.

I really like the parallel you made to exploitation today. Good specific example with a ton of insight connecting the two.
