Answer:

Wealth, gold, property and women.

Explanation:

The discovery of America in 1492 by Christopher Columbus under the Spanish flag was a cultural shock for both indigenous and Europeans. Ultimately, they were two totally different cultures and idiosyncracies, based on totally dissimilar concepts, religions and customs and on conceptions of nature, life, society and politics that had no points of connection between them.

Thus, Columbus was greatly surprised to see that the natives wore pendants of precious stones and metals such as gold as if they were simple ornaments, downplaying the wealth they implied for Europeans. Furthermore, the property system itself was different and was based on collective property, rather than the private individual property of Europeans. Even the role of women in native societies was shocking for Europeans, since they had an egalitarian role that was very different from Europe, where women were socially relegated behind men.

you want to learn about your Congress person is voting record where would you find information on how they voted
Irina18 [472]

Nowadays that is quite easy if you have a computer with an internet connection and know how to use it. You need to go to the Senate or the House web page and examine the roll call vote tallies to find the exact record of votes every day.

You can also go to the Congressional record web page for vote tallies for the two chambers of Congress. However it is important to make a difference between the different types of votes since not all of these are recorded by name. Voice votes are only voted by the Congressperson saying “aye” or “no” to a particular proposition or bill. Division or standing votes are voted by raising a hand and then the presiding officers count the Members.
