In his text <em>On Cannibals</em> (1580), Montaigne does not describes "barbaric" people lack of commerce, education or political system in order to assert European superiority.

These concepts, however, are familiar to European societies despite their apparent superior education and political systems.

In the play Tempest, if Prospero had not treated a Caliban has a slave monster and respected the land and behaved as a guest , there would have been no peace and prosperity. It is difficult to maintain a positive relationship with native people so colonizers should leave them alone is the opinion about colonization that is best supported by the events from The Tempest.
