Answer:

After Christopher Columbus discovered the Americas, and was successful in changing the way European people thought about the Earth being a flat surface that could not be navigated without falling off the end of the horizon, many more voyages were planned in order to continue finding new trading routes and new lands.

Between 1519 and 1522 a Portuguese explorer known as Ferdinand Magellan set out to a new quest under the commission of the Spanish Crown to reach the East Indies this time. The adventure ended up being the first Earth circumnavigating enterprise ever attempted. Although Magellan did not complete the entire trip, some of those who set out with him, did.

The result was the discovery of lands that could be reached by navigating down the tip of South America (most of the South East Asian islands), and the possibility of reaching South East Asia and India, and the islands on the Pacific Ocean, going West, instead of East. This remarkable feat suddenly completely changed the concept that Europeans had about their planet, and it also changed the dynamics as the European powers, now aware of these possibilities and potentials, rushed to capitalize on them and establish their own routes and also colonies. The map of the world had completely changed for Europe.

Provide a couple of examples of prejudice, one regarding women, the other regarding a minority.
yan [13]

Answer:

Explanation:

<u>One prejudice regarding women is that they are naturally neater and more prone to cleaning and housekeeping. </u>This isn’t true as women’s connection to the house is not in the biological nature, but in the way, a society shaped the women. <u>Since women are the ones giving birth to the children, it is expected of them to be more in the house and therefore take care of the house</u>. <u>They are taught to be more observant and careful about housework. It does not mean they more care about cleaning and house jobs, just that they are culturally subordinated to that role.</u>

<u>One prejudice about a minority is that all Asians are nerdy and into the STEM field. We can see this prejudice often in media as Asian characters often have minor roles in science fields, and their characterizations are connected to this. </u>This idea comes from the fact that Japan, South Korea, and China are developed countries with a strong technological industry. <u>Yet, not everyone that comes from Asia is into these topics – some Asians are not even from these specific countries, some were born in different countries, some have been born in the US, etc. The fact where someone is from doesn’t have anything to do with their intelligence, interests, and skills. Asian people are not just nerdy, socially awkward people who care only about science.</u>
