'''Impact of Feudalism Today''': Our law of real property (land) is based on the feudal system.  Homes today are usually owned as a "fee" or "fee simple," which is the concept developed by the feudal system to represent a grant of land to someone.  Also, the roots of our free enterprise economic system of private property are in feudalism.

=== Impact of Feudalism Today ===

Feudalism had an enormous impact on society, and still does. Our law of real property (land) is based on the feudal system.  Homes today are usually owned as a "fee" or "fee simple," which is the concept developed by the feudal system to represent a grant of land to someone.

The roots of our free enterprise economic system of private property are in feudalism. The impact goes beyond private property.  The entire concept of "customer service" and "the customer is always right" can be traced to the chivalry developed under feudalism.

The institution of marriage was strengthened by feudalism.  There was no place for unmarried adults, or polygamy, both of which plagued other cultural systems throughout history.

 +
The concept of "sportsmanship", which we hear so much about today, comes from the chivalry that developed during feudalism.

Feudalism had much that many people miss today: no commuting or traveling to work, as you worked near your home.  No one was "laid off" by a big company and left without work.  Communities were strong and people defended each other against foreign enemies.  Families stayed close together.  Perhaps the roots of homeschooling are in feudalism!
