First, Zinn makes it clear that Columbus and his Spanish backers were motivated primarily by a desire to discover new sources of wealth. This explains their approach to dealing with the native peoples they encountered. As Zinn says, “The information that Columbus wanted most [from the natives] was: ‘Where is the gold?'” The second point would be his description of the effects of the policies of Columbus and the Spanish officials that followed him to the Caribbean. They led to the almost total extermination of the native peoples who inhabited the region. The famous account by Bartolome de Las Casas is cited to make this point all the more clear. The final three points are really related to historiography, and the uses of the past, and serve to set up the main thrust of Zinn’s overall narrative. First he shows that previous historians of Columbus’s actions in the New World such as Samuel Eliot Morison have effaced the unflattering parts, and that this has been deliberate: “the historian’s distortion…is ideological; it is released into a world of contending interests, where any chosen emphasis supports…some kind of interest.” This leads to his next point, which is that the “quiet acceptance of conquest and murder in the name of progress” has disturbing effects in our own time, making it easier for us to countenance the bad things people do with power today. Finally, Zinn argues that the whitewashing of history and celebration of the actions of men like Columbus is part of a larger historical approach that is told from the “point of view of governments, conquerors, diplomats,” and other powerful men. Zinn proposes a different approach, one which he will pursue in A People’s History, that focuses on people from the “bottom up.” So the aim of his treatment of Columbus is as much to set up his overall narrative approach as to tell an unimportant, or unfamiliar story about the man.
Zinn wrote that, "we must not accept the memory of states as our own. Nations are not communities and never have been." Also, he writes, "I don't want to romanticize them." He says he's blunt about the history and doesn't act like, for example, Columbus killed a bunch of people, but, oh, he was a hero! And, "I don't want to invent victories for people's movements."
GIS (global informational system)
GPS (global positioning system)
VGA (Video graphic array)
Remote Sensing (The scanning of earth by satellite to obtain information about it)
So now that we have the definitions down, GIS,GPS,VGA, and Remote sensing provide a better understanding of what is happening at a local or global level by explaining the steps being taking to obtain the information. GIS gathers the information of the region, GPS creates the route of the region, VGA connects the information and routes gathered by GIS and GPS to your cellular device, and Remote sensing may seem like the same concept of GIS however remote sensing uses satellite images of a wider area.
Sorry if this explanation seems long, or seems to not make sense. I'm just learning about this stuff and thought I'd try to answer (:
Written and oral communication skills are an example of skills that cover all areas of specialization that are most valued by employers when hiring a new employee.
Communication is an essential skill in every organization, it is through it that the flow of information to organizational processes and interaction takes place, so this is an essential skill in any employee.
