Middle age is usually when you have "peaked" and you have made it.  I havent got that far yet.  Looking forward to hitting middle age at around 55...because I plan to live until 110.

Not sure whether I am on your wavelength, but ... if you are referring to the fabled Golden Age of earth it's the time that modern-day archaeologists try to ignore because it just doesn't fit with their text books. On the celtic shelf (prehistoric Britain) the ice-age was at its maximum around 20,000 BC, and then it began to slowly melt. Over the next 5000 years ice receded and the sea levels rose and Britain (still attached to continent) began to take shape. By 15,000 BC it was totally ice-free. The people of modern-day Northern France had followed the ice northwards and quickly populated this new land, and the flora and fauna flourished. The period that followed is the 4000 years that historians like to leave out of lectures and TV archaeologists conveniently ignore. Imagine 4000 years of temperate weather in a green verdant land, easily defendable therefore generally peaceful, a time of plenty. This period is equal to the time period from raising the stones at Stonehenge to the present day. In my opinion this is the Golden Age, however it didn't last, around 11,000 BC the snow and ice moved back in and the northern half of Britain and Ireland was once again frozen and glaciated - this chilly situation lasted for around 1500 years and is known as the Younger Dryas period (which ended abruptly in 9600 BC and that's another subject that I could go on for hours about), but I hope that helps with your question about the Golden Age.

In the Middle Ages, believe it or not, "Poor" was not a clearly defined concept. The fuedal system meant that [by and large] everyone had a useful role in society. It is not until people were redundent that poverty became an issue.\n\nSome answers seem to think the Middle Ages and The Middle of the second Millenium are the same thing. They are not. The Middle Ages is the period in Europe between the fall of the Roman Empire about 750ad to about 1500ad The Middle Ages had finished by 1600

This One. The renaissance and Roman times were cool, but not for everybody.\n\nPlus, they had no Playstation or DVDs!\n\nIn other time periods only the wealthy and powerful could do fun stuff. Today, a nobody like me can have lots of fun doing stuff those hoity toity Roman emperors could never dream of-- like answer really important questions over the internets!

The Dark Ages came first, then the Middle Ages, or Mediaeval period.  Here is an excellent timeline on both (in Britain):\n\nhttp://www.tradamis.co.uk/dark.htm\n\n(Go to the bottom to 1066, then click for the next page!)

The Great Depression was a worldwide economic downturn, starting in 1929 and lasting through most of the 1930s. It ended at different times in different countries. It centered in the United States and Europe, but had damaging effects around the world.\n\nPlease read the below article... it is precise and informative...\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Depression

I my experience, no one really talks about that as a 25 year period.  \n\n1919-1939 is sometimes referred to as "the years between the wars."\n\nMore often, the 1920s are referred to as The Roaring 20s. \n\n1929 to the start of WWII (either 1929-1939 or 1929-1942 -- depending where you are) is often called The Great Depression.\n\nAnd 1939-1945 is referred to as WWII.

Now. Just OMO.\n  We live in luxury and comfort, with health and longevity, medical care and security, social and otherwise, enjoyed by even the lowest classes in society, that the Aristocrats, Kings and Emperors of the past, would envy, including our Education. Intellectual life was never so good, and\nwe are overwhelmed with the variety and ways we can entertain ourselves. \n  I believe that future civilisations will look back on us now as a Golden Age, perhaps calling us Roosevelts America, as some historians refer to Pericles Athens as the highpoint and golden Age of Athens and Greece.

the middle ages/medieval taimes/dark ages were not named as such until after the fact. the thinkers of the renaissance (which was very localized) refered to it as that because they were entering a new age of light, as in knowledge. therefore, the time before this must have been "dark" by default. also, it is called the middle ages by the same renaissance thinkers because it was the time period in between the greatness of the antiquities of rome and greece and their current(in the 14th and 15th cent.) quest for knowledge and a reversion to the antiquities and classics. also, in the same vein, the reaissance was not named until after the fact as well.
