Christopher Columbus Class Analysis
1. There were a ton of majors that looked interesting from this lecture. First off the animal sciences major looked very appealing since I love working with animals and would like to understand more about them. The major seems very hands on and adventurous. The major fits in with my strengths since I’m passionate in science related topics. Another major that appeals to me is the agribusiness and applied economics, as this was one of the recommended majors from the survey that was taken during the lecture. It combines many of the aspects that I enjoy, including working with numbers and the principles of economics.
2. I chose to attend this major because out of the last remaining lectures, this one seemed the most interesting to me. I don’t come from an agricultural family, but it was nice to see the amount of students who don’t have a farming

The most interesting part from the lecture was the opportunity to traveling abroad and the experiences shared from the students. One of the students traveled to Iceland to study the soil and how it was different from the rest of the world. He said that the group he was with went by volcanos, climbed glaciers, climb rocks, and other fun activities. These stories make me want to travel abroad if possible because of the unique experiences each person brings back. Another interesting thing that I learned from this lecture was about this class offered at Ohio State University that took the class to a body of water in Columbus to examine different species present. It was interesting because the professor was one of the leading researchers for this type of work. Overall, the class looked interesting and unique.
4. I’m wondering if there’s an introduction class about one of the agricultural majors that would also be a general education course since I might be interested in learning a little more about this major. Also, If I don’t pursue this type of major, is it possible to get a minor in one of the agricultural science

    Italian explorer, Christopher Columbus was born in 1451 in the republic of Genoa, Italy. Christopher Columbus sought to find a way to the Indies to find gold and spice. After receiving significant funding from Queen Elizabeth and King Ferdinand, he set sail on August 3, 1492 with three ships, the Pinta, Nina, and Santa Maria, with 104 men. The voyage he took to find gold and spice led him not to Asia but to the discovery of America which wasn’t the place he expected to arrive at. Christopher Columbus is responsible for the death of the Tainos because he used the kindness of the Tainos to his benefit, ordering his men to enslave and mistreat the Tainos, and his bad governing skills.…

    Alas, in the midst of our exchange, Columbus became extremely furious. His pale skin went from white to boiling red in rage. I had no clue why he was so frustrated, when just a second earlier he was the happiest person on earth. He shouted at his men, but I couldn't understand a word he said. The only thing I knew was that we had done something wrong, so all I could say was, “Sorry,” over and over again.…

    Christopher Columbus day should not remain a holiday because it is just another event on the calendar to keep track of and it could make some native American tribes aggravated if it stays. Even if Columbus day isn’t as bad as it seems, the people have the right to want to get rid of it. Although some people will get mad if this day leaves, they should know that “Columbus was a cruel slave trader who brought about the mass killing of native people.”. Columbus day was supposed to be a day when America was found, but others go deeper than that and want to get rid of it. All people, Americans and Native Americans get to have a say in this, whether it be to stay or it is to…

    Europe was a continent emerging from the darkness of the Middle Ages. The people had endured a long period of war, disease, and general strife. Europe was emerging from the Middle Ages with a new sense of confidence and self-worth. Europe’s achievements, however, led to ever increasing confidence. Christopher Columbus’s “The Journal of Christopher Columbus” documents his actions taken in the Americas as well as insight into his thoughts at the time. When Christopher Columbus came into contact with the Native Americans, he would unknowingly perpetuate a European attitude of superiority. Even out of kindness, Christopher Columbus believed that the Native Americans were like…

    1. The author (Ostrander) emphasizes that students should not stress out over choosing a major. He tells us that what one majors in is less important than the overall qualities, knowledge base, and the skills that one develops. Ostrander also points out that a major is much less important than the skills that people gain by using a quote from an executive, “I look for people who take accountability, responsibility and are good team people over anything else. I can teach the technical.”…

    With Columbus Day rapidly approaching us, a day celebrated by millions upon millions of people who dearly believe that he is a hero, you begin to wonder. Do these people know what they are celebrating? While yes, he “discovered” the New World, however people fail to acknowledge that Columbus was in fact a mass murderer. In all likelihood, he brought to life “the worst case of genocide imposed on one nation of human beings by another”.…

    1. First, we must ask ourselves what constitutes reading material as American Literature. Simply put, it is literature that assesses the copious literary history of the United States (the American experience). Therefore, the reading assignments such as Williams Bradford’s Of Plymouth’s Plantation, excerpts from the Journal of Christopher Columbus, “First Voyage”, Fourth Voyage”, and “Second Voyage”, and the “Story-Telling Stone” are perfect examples of American Literature. All of these stories depict life in America, whether written on paper, or communicated orally from generations to generations. However, the Native American Period, 1620–1840, refer to the period of Native American dominance in the New World. Native American literature consists…
