Where did the peasants get some of their ideas about equality and freedom?

Peasants simply decided that it was time to take a stand and support the ideas proposed by John Ball who encouraged peasants to plea their case before the king. Many were the reasons why the peasants get some ideas about equality and freedom and revolted:

1) They realized how unequal they were from anyone else - nobles were attempting to reimpose medieval dues.

2) They realized they were receiving an unfair treatment - peasants were starving and there was a lack of simpathy for poor.

depends on the age of the teen, many believe by the age of 16 a person should know the strong difference between right and wrong along with the difference between risky and immediate death. swimming with sharks might be dangerous but swimming with sharks while bloody meat is attached to you is just insane. even more if you have no idea what you're doing. however, no matter the age, as long as the person is skilled enough and has the mental and physical capacity to control their actions doing whatever sport they put their mind to is all that matters.
