Focus Questions 4 and 5:
4. Monasteries that kept to Benedict's RULE could be very useful in institutions, because all monasteries now decided by this Benedict's Rule, since before, they were not so unified. Deciding public affairs by this Rule means people who were following these rules were scared and threatened because if they do something wrong, or commit a crime, it would mean it's against their religion. It's a good thing in a way where no one is committing a crime or lying; I guess it did not last very long seeing the modern day crimes. Anyways, since many people might have been following all these rules, it might have helped out with less people creating crimes because of the population. As Benedict's Rules stated "not to be proud" or "not to steal" or "to relieve the poor" - as many more, these all rules helped with the society.
5. In the terms of social and economic structure, if many people were in the monasteries, and following these rules, first of all, they were scardy cats! Secondly, the people must have been poor since Europe was recovering from the fall of the Roman Empire. In social structure, of course, the monasteries had these strict Benedict's Rules which people followed.
