Hi,

"demand" = 'You must do this'.

"request" = 'Please do this'.

"age" = A distinct period of time, eg The age of the Renaissance; The Middle Ages.

"era" = A period of time marked, and often beginning, with a particular date or event. eg The Victorian era began when Victoira became queen; The Christian era. I'd say this word is used less often than 'age'.
