The decline of Rome had many reasons. Already it was at decline when the empire split into two. With two emperors ruling the east and the west it was difficult to have them both unite making it weaker and weaker.  First of all they had a huge military fall. After the roman military came back from their battle the soldiers came back with disease which started their fall in numbers which made the military weak and could no longer fight as good as they use to. After the death of Emperor Alexander Severus the whole Roman Western empire went into a civil war fighting over who would lead this western empire.

On top of so many wars in Rome alone they also had barbaric people like Atilla attacking Rome and had a result of their cities being sacked. The western Empire was way to big to be controlled while the eastern part of the roman empire was smaller and easier to control with more of a population and less fighting over power it was calmer than in Western Rome. As a result of all the fighting they needed to raise tax just so they could feed the army who was not only small in numbers but weak from all the fighting. All the people  in western Rome couldn't pay any of the tax and soon the people went into poverty. Western Rome fell apart by 476 AD.

At the near end of its decline the lifestyle really started to change. The people were very poor and the health was bad. "Every man for themselves" in a way.  Along with no government the people in western Rome fell into the Dark Ages. When Rome fell so did their technology and when barbaric people took over parts of lands they created villages which now became of their lifestyle.

For an ordinary muslim life would probably be easier than it was. With all these new discoveries it was easier for them to get by. All the new ideas brought to the table made it possible for them to learn things learned from other people. In their work they'd find it useful that a new discovery could make their job simpler in a way and get more done. This was probably more of a cultural impact on history because wit involved affecting the people more than anything making it so cultural.

A scholar would find that his lifetime during this time would be much simpler than a life on a scholar some fifty years back. At this time their were new discovery's and ides and more things were acceptable. They would find that when these people brought more books from different parts of the world their knoledge expanded making the scholars wiser. All the contributions the muslims made made it so much easier for the scholars just to show up and learn. This had an impact on more cultural history because it was a cultural decision all over the muslim empire.
