There were few technological advances in the Middle Ages, but I think this period of time was still dark because of some cultural and religious disadvantages. From my point of view, the disadvantages from the cultural and religious aspects outweighed the technological progress.
First of all, the idea of social classes was unethical. Everyone should be treated equally since he/she was brought to the world. Everyone should have the right to go to school and choice to decide what kinds of live he/she wanted to live on, no matter how wealth and poor he/she was. The government and the society should sponsor the educational fees to the poor, instead of marking the poor as lower class people.
Also, the idea of following the religious rules made by the Church was not an advance to me. People at this point of time followed the same rules and had the same routines. People had the same goal in their life; the goals were to make up their sins by supplying everything they had to the Church and go to heaven when they passed away. I think the religion did not help people live happily, only make people believe that they had sins and they had to make them up. The Church did not provide any prospective hope to people or help people live their life with fewer burdens. They only put more pressure on people.
Overall, I think the Middle Ages were dark from the cultural and religious aspects, even though there were few technological advances.
