In your opinion, did Columbus discovered the West Indies? Discuss why.

History
1 answer:
irakobra [83]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

In my opinion Columbus did discover the west indies because the definition it states "Discover means to find (something or someone) unexpectedly or in the course of a search." never in the definition does it mention in order to "discover" something you have to be the first one to find it or be the first one to come across such and such. I see why some people might disagree but if it were in terms of if Columbus founded the west indies I would have a completely different opinion because there were people their before he was "there were already people living there. The Taino and Carib were the largest groups in the region when Columbus arrived in 1493. ..." The definition of founded is "establish or originate (an institution or organization), especially by providing an endowment." which would confirm he ONLY discovered and didn't found the west indies when both definitions are juxtaposed this is made clear.

Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life
Helen [10]

Answer: The idea is that if you are doing what you love, it would not be considered work, the philosophy comes from ancient Chinese sage Confucius, but the student considers this assertion anachronistic because job choice flexibility was sharply limited in the era of Confucius. Today, this might affect someone's beliefs because jobs today are still jobs. Even if you love it, there will be some downs and you are still working.

tresset_1 [31]

Answer:  The ideas of the scientific revolution transformed the way people began to think about the world.

Explanation:

During the scientific revolution, Europeans began to question and branch off from traditional Catholic beliefs, and began to learn how to understand the universe we live in. New medical advancements were made such as the turniquet and the stethoscope, and astrologists dedicated study to the planets, stars, and outer space. European society started to grasp a better understanding of how the world around us, such as plants, animals, ilness, and elements, work and coincide with one another.
