Here is a question that comes to mind‚ but is it ever really thought about? Does television make people smarter? According to Steven Johnson’s “watching TV makes you smarter” he states‚ “The relationship between the explicit violence and the post 9/11 terrorist attack anxiety is not the only element of 24 that would have been unthinkable on prime time network twenty years ago”(278).

His men had rounded up many of the Indians to transport as slaves to Spain‚ since Columbus had to send something in replacement of all the nonexistent gold. He also traded with the Indians unfairly‚ making they trade lopsided and bad for the Arawaks. This unethical treatment began to worsen more and more as the Spaniards under his command were at the island longer. Calling Christopher Columbus a hero is like saying the sky is green.

The constitution has been placed before us for many reasons and it should not be changed. People believe that guns are killing people and that they should be revoked from human possession. But does that mean that a spoon makes a person fat? Does that mean the utensil being used is the reason for bodily gain in mass? There is a very valid reason to why the second amendment of the United

Gun Control: Why Guns Lead to Problems and Not Solutions Guns are a rather contentious topic to discuss. Chances are---if you haven’t been living under a rock---you’ve recently heard some form of televised debate on their legality at some point. One of the major topics being discussed in the 2016 Presidential campaign is the right to own a gun and how the legality relates to the Constitution.

He’s enslaved hundreds of Natives and had them know that there would be consequences for any mistakes made. He was careless and had treated them very poorly‚ some had even died due to them being exposed to foreign diseases! These are just a few things that make me believe that Christopher Columbus was a villain. Columbus did not care
