Centuries ago, countries sponsored explorers to set sail for parts unknown and return with tales of new lands. These exploration

s led the Europeans to discover North America. The ocean journey from England, France, or Spain to North America was 3,000 miles of unknown dangers, but it led to discoveries. Explorers made these treacherous voyages for three main reasons: religion, wealth, and competition. These voyages of discovery began in the eleventh century.
Historical records indicate that Leif Eriksson, a Viking explorer, was the first man to reach North America around 1000. Leif is credited with landing along the coastline of present-day Newfoundland. A Viking settlement was established and occupied for several years before Eriksson left to return to his homeland. He died around 1020.

Much later, Christopher Columbus left his homeland in 1492 to seek wealth in the form of trade items. The Italian explorer was destined for China but erred in direction and arrived on Watling's Island in the Bahamas. It was a long and dangerous journey. Upon arrival, Columbus dedicated the newly discovered land to the Spanish King and Queen of Aragon. Then, Columbus made three more voyages to North America in 1493, 1498, and 1502. To the very end, Christopher Columbus was adamant that he discovered a trade route to China. He denied ever being to North America.

Credited with sailing around the southern tip of Florida, Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de Leon had several adventures in the New World. His journey around Florida occurred in 1513. At the time, he thought Florida was an island. When he returned to Florida in 1521, he was wounded by a poisoned arrow, which ultimately ended his life.

Afterward, Hernando De Soto, a Spanish adventurer, left to explore present-day Florida in 1538. He and his men traveled thousands of miles through the South. They were the first Europeans recorded to have crossed the Mississippi River in 1541.

Are anorexia and bulimia caused by our society? What are the motivations or social pressures to be thin? What are the major sour
Sergeu [11.5K]

Bulimia and anorexia are eating disorders, which are largely caused by social pressure. In the media we always see perfect women / men, with incredible bodies and this is extremely harmful to our mental health as a whole. They are diseases caused by a pattern of beauty that often only exists in the media, it is a reality that affects many young people who believe that they must be in that standard to be accepted.

One of the most toxic environments for young people lately is <u>Instagram</u>, where perfect bodies and perfect lives are displayed, this generates great pressure on people and not to fit in there is not being enough. I believe that the culture of the media and the life of social networks, this pressure exists in any culture that uses technological means, because that is what technology generates.
