A Trip At The New World

Until the late 1400's, Europeans did not know the existence of the two American continents ( North and South America ). To the European explorers, exploring the other side of the Atlantic was like exploring an entire different world, hence the name- the New World. In 1492, Christopher Columbus unknowingly discovered the new continent. His original motives for exploring was to find an easier route to Asia but instead, he discovered the New World. Thus; Spain, France and England began sending out conquistadors and explorers to the uncharted terrains of the new continent. Motives for the Spanish, French, and English explorers varied greatly, however, they were similar in some ways. The motives of the Spanish explorers were acquisition of

There were many reasons the New World was the most wanted to explore. The Spanish, French, and English came about the New World the same way but for different reasons. The Spanish came in search for God, Gold, and Glory. The French, for money and religious conversions of Native Americans; and the English, to find religious freedom. Each of these empires expected to come and establish a powerful empire in the New World but came across difficulties along the way, their values dictating how they run their colonies.

1. What fundamental factors drew the Europeans to the exploration, conquest, and colonization of the New World? What was the impact on the Indians, Europeans, and Africans when each of their previously separate worlds “collided” with one another? What caused the shift from indentured servant to African slaves as the dominant labor force in the southern colonies?

When singing up for “The New World” the soon to be colonists did not know what they were agreeing to. Perhaps there were thoughts of undeniable freedom that drove the group of Britains to this new land and away from their original rulers. Upon arrival the new colonists were bombarded with several new laws and policies that left them with their hands in their mouths. They had just gotten away from their cruel rulers, and now there are supposed to pay all this additional money to help them (“1773”)? No, what happened was that a group of radicals were formed instead and this group slowly formed a revolution. This collection of angry colonists was the root of to separation of the Colonies from Britain, and it all started with the Stamp

The Federal holiday of ‘Christopher Columbus Day’ is celebrated on the second Monday of October because of Columbus’s ‘discoveries’ of the Americas in the New World. What most people do not know is that Christopher Columbus’s intentions were only for the betterment of himself. Columbus was a devout Catholic and could have been looking to spread the word of God to the ‘Indies’, his main goal was to find a water route from Europe to the West Indies. How did Christopher Columbus’s motives impact the way he and other conquistadors viewed and treated the Indians? Columbus 's desire for kind of wealth, especially gold in the New World strongly impacted the way he looked upon them. He saw that the Indians practiced no religion that he had seen

In the early 1600s, the greatest empire of that time, the British empire, demonstrated one more time its immense level of power by conquering the New World. The Jamestown settlement, also known as the beginning of America, was occupied by a group of British conquerors willing to impose their traditions, culture, and language on the natives of Jamestown. Many historians, politicians, and influential people, as the Queen of England, have claimed that the first British settlement in America was founded by three principles that nowadays govern most of the countries in the world: democracy, equality, and diversity. While a vast number of people agree that America has been strengthened by embracing those three principles, many conservatives, as Patrick J. Buchanan, have disagreed with that idea. Patrick J. Buchanan, one of the most influential conservatives in the U.S. who has run for President three times, has mentioned in many of his publications how atrocious is for a country, especially for the United States, to embrace democracy, equality, and diversity. In “Deconstructing America,” Patrick J. Buchanan claims that the founding values of America have not only stopped it to prosper, but also have helped to destroy it and pull it apart. Patrick’s arguments of the destruction of America are actually very accurate and effective.

“Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it.”, that’s exactly how all the ethnic groups wanted to accomplish dealing with this discovery in this foreign land with farming and the dry land possession in many field spirituals. The colonization’s in the New World was consistently complex to keep peace during those days from wars and competition for claiming the land of opportunities. Between the cultural differences, the Spanish, the Dutch, the French and the English, it was truly a sacrifice for each of them to fight and go for the same power, wealth, and national glory, but it could only belong to one. They eventually had to go in different paths and for each of them to conquer want they wanted to have because it did come with a price to pay. Everyone had their different reasons of why they came to the New World and when all of them arrived at different times the Spanish, Dutch, French, and the English had different ways to colonize the land of opportunities.

Before labor become modernized, it was a means to construct the New World during its formation in the late fifteenth century. After Christopher Columbus and the Spaniards discovered what would now be called the Americas, the use of labor became intensely racialized during the centuries to follow. This foreign land became a new territory in which the Europeans believed they could control to gain wealth and power. The manpower used to construct the European settlements included certain forms of coerced and forced labor, which included white indentured servants, Native Americans and African slaves. Native Americans would resist often with fierce aggression against the white settlers and indentured servitude would diminish after wealthy colonists succeeded in breaking ties between white and black laborers. The English colonists would need large amounts of labor to produce high volumes of agriculture that was created by the tobacco and farming industries. It resulted in the increased trade and use African slaves becoming the permanent form of labor because they were viewed as the cheapest and disposable form of labor. Africans became disadvantaged because their skin color meant they were seen as inferior or as property to own and gave motive to the Europeans to conquer them. In the eyes of Western Europe, being black was equal to being a slave which allowed the formation of an African based slavery and would become engrained in America’s history. More specifically, interracial

Impressions are perhaps the only valuable information one has to tackle the unknown. Much like To understand the Genesis of stereotypes one must first understand what stereotypes are. In Celluloids Indians Jacquelyn Kilpatrick describes stereotypes as such, “‘ [s] tereotypes are evaluative concepts about status and roles and as such are central to interpreting and evaluating social groups including one’s own.”’ (xvi) Kilpatrick explores “the social, ideological and political construction”(xvi) of stereotypes in literature, film and politics. Literature has been around for centuries but film making are an adequately new invention, however stereotypes within them have their origins centuries before. The interpretation of film and literature is according to perspective when there’s only one perspective what is one to believe?

The only knowledge he gathered concerning the new group was that they were in one geographical area. Van accepted Japes resignation and two week notice. He then decided to give him a hard time, instructing him to go into forty guest rooms, each afternoon to clear the dirty sheets and unload the laundry carts. Van thought it was important to do physical work to help the shortfall in staffing for Josie. Japes again complied with his wishes, although he physically had an extremely hard time. Josie was embarrassed for Japes, as he supported her in many ways over the years. This proved to Japes that he made a smart decision. Japes was working far beyond his physical limitations, but like many with his challenges, the desire to “ fit in” outweighed common sense. He respected Van because of his position at the hotel, but he did not respect Van for his actions. “We are what we do” did not mean what we physically did. Van had a lot to learn. Japes’ was leaving his friend Sot, and although this change had occurred many times before he somehow knew they would stay connected. It was a strange bond he and Sot shared. In fact, he demonstrated many poor characteristics that most would find obnoxious. Only time would tell what would

An entire new world full of riches was just begging to be discovered from around 1500 to 1550 (Williams 8). What kind of brave souls and entrepreneurs were willing to face the dangers and seize the treasure that awaited them? It sure would take a special kind of person to do this. It would eventually be the western explorers. Since many new lands were being found, nations raced to claim them. This resulted in many new technologies and ideas being introduced to ‘modern’ society. Without explorers such as these, many new civilizations simply would not exist. The new world was discovered due to ingenious explorers from China, Viking lands, and Europe.

He worked the evening shifts with a young server named Sid. Sid was not a Flathead, but he sure acted like one. The young server labeled Japes’ "Hawkeye "and he called himself, Pierce from the television show Mash. They had a positive, infectious attitude, which consequently made the job fun. They would tease each other and play pranks on everyone and everything but never forgot about the guests. This informal group power was attributed to “ the fun and skill” they displaced. It brought all the servers closer together as the group became a team. The focus was on the banter between the two and the environment they created. A common theme will always be a key to success. Japes didn't think too much about this, as he and Sid were just being themselves. After a while, he realized that many servers did not enjoy the stage and all it had to offer. In fact, they didn't participate in any meaningful activities. It seemed as though life for too many was just a chore. They stopped learning and thinking on their own. The implied authority for those who did participate was real. Japes knew that Sid and his relationship and the fun they demonstrated created a good hotel environment. Every server gained from it and would continue long after they left, every server except Olive Oil, the quintessential Brown

He was a young Bull with a great sense of humor. He was full of energy and managed a difficult property. Because the organization was so new and limited in its resources they had a plethora of structural problems. Japes’, in fact, was the first Rooms Executive that the company had ever hired. Shorty and his assistant were the two executives that managed this three hundred and seventy five room property. Each of the department managers had a large number of assistants and supervisors to carry out the daily activities. Shorty and his assistant had to supervise over thirty managers in an extremely busy hotel. It was insane to think it could work effectively. Shorty was exceptional considering how many servers he had to work with. It was impossible with this set up to build any real rapport and to build a team. It was all business and politics as there was no time for anything else. After settling in, Japes was told he had to work six days a week. He was told this after he had moved from his prior hotel and into the new world. Not only did he have to work six days he was in charge of the hotel from 8 AM until 6 PM every

Summer was coming to an end and so was the camp. Although Japes had fun, he knew this world and the Grub land world were not his cup of tea. The hotel world was in his blood, and he always

The Rooms, Executive, referred to as Olive Oil, was perfectly put together. She was the mistress of Mr. Suave, and the first in a long line of Kiva servers, commonly referred to as Brown Nose servers that Japes became involved with. These Brown Nose servers did anything they could to keep their bosses happy, but rarely had a clue on doing their own job. Server's like Olive Oil were scattered within the hotel world, and although these ingratiating tactics were obvious, the irony was if they applied these efforts towards what needed to be done they could have been successful. Inevitably, this selective behavior came back to bite them.
