Keith_Richards [23]2 years ago

The Portuguese and other Europeans were motivated to find new routes to Asia because they were in reaction to the Ottomans capturing Constantinople and expanding their influence in the Mediterranean.

Finding a new sea route to India was the major goal. During the period, some Arab powers and Venice were the only parties involved in the trade of Indian-origin spices like cinnamon, pepper, and others, which were consumed in large quantities in Europe. The Portuguese discovered that beginning to ship these spices over the ocean allowed Portuguese merchants to sell them for much less, but with a significant profit because there was no payment for intermediary services. Although it seems insignificant now, back then it was a major event.

Where can we find the roots of our problematic ideas about "cultural authenticity"?
sasho [114]

A cultural system creates a unique world that is experienced as "reality" by its members. The people of a certain culture come to accept the "realities" which form its culture.

However, when groups of different cultures come together, their "realities" become confronted. Creating a clash of cultures. The outcome of this clash is decided by the material power of each of this groups. The group with the most material will emerge victoriously and end up influencing the other group with its cultural system. Therefore, individuals from the influenced culture will end up learning a new "reality" by force. On the other hand, individuals of the influencing culture tend to see the others as "objects of study".  

Clashes of cultures have been occurring throughout time, affecting the cultural authenticity of groups. Due to the constant blend of cultures, it is nowadays, very difficult to consider that a certain cultural group is "truly authentic".
