After reading the short text called “A Brief Account of the Destruction of the Indies‚” by Bartolomé de Las Casas‚ I was surprised at the brutality and coldheartedness of the Spaniards towards the Indian natives. I knew that they did some horrible things from previous history classes and what not‚ but actually reading about some of the specific things they did was a bit hard to take in.

In the article about Norman Borlaug‚ Justin Gillis‚ stated how Dr. Borlaug said the agriculture in Mexico was very poor and it reminded me of the last case study we did. The subpar quality of land in Mexico was a push factor for immigration because that caused less opportunity for new jobs and food‚ hurting the overall economy. Dr. Borlaug’s creation of the rust resistant wheat was genius‚ not only did he create a food source‚ but more job opportunities for workers. (Gillis) Being in Botany‚ I have

The end result of the Texas-Mexico War was The Republic of Texas for about 10 years Texas was an independent country. The end result of the US-Mexico war was the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo which set the border at the Rio Grande River.

In the beginning‚ they tried to apply the Lean Start-up method‚ but they say that it was difficult for the service company to stick to it.

The author I admire most is Bartolome De las Casas‚ because he went against the consensus of the Spaniards and defended the Native Americans.

This leads me to believe he actually spent time getting to know them as people. He took the time to learn about their art‚ music‚ government and other aspects of their lives. I believe he honestly wanted to
