There are many traits of the Anglo-Saxon community that
still exist today.
The Anglo-Saxon community was ruled by
democracy, and this is something that is still present in the world today. Laws were
being written down with which to govern the people.
Women
fought along side of the men in battle. We see women literally in combat today. In terms
of society, women also go out to work and compete in the business world as well. Women
could hold title to land and possessions. No one could force her to marry against her
will, which are aspects of their society that exist
today.
Leaders were generally heroes of some kind, and in
many cases today, having a military background can be helpful in getting elected to a
political position.
Though the time of the Anglo-Saxons was
often considered part of the Dark Ages, this is anything but the truth. The Anglo-Saxons
were great artisans, storytellers, and forward-thinking people.
