The Columbus Questions
The Columbus Question is this: Is Christopher Columbus a Hero? Or a Mass Murder? Was anything his fault?
To dive into the Christopher Columbus Question, we must first be informed on the topic. Review the powerpoint to get a base of Columbus knowledge. In order to form an opinion on whether or not Christopher Columbus was a hero or a villian, you must first have the facts. Now, ask yourself some simple questions: What was the impact of his voyages? What things (good or bad) did he bring to the America's? What things (good or bad) did he bring back to Europe? What did his voyages lead to? What were the consequences? Understanding the impact of his voyages and consequent voyages by others, we can begin to see the impact of his exploring. Now, before you stand up and scream "Murderer!" Be careful. Was what happened as a result of his voyages his fault? Would the exact same thing have happened if someone else would of been the first? Was he a victim of the times? Perhaps the old saying is true in this case: Wrong place at the wrong time? Think about it. Was Columbus a Hero or a Murderer?
Task: Share with us what you think is the answer to the Columbus Question.
