The Christopher Columbus Controversy: Western Civilization vs. Primitivism, Michael Berliner

A controversy over whether Christopher Columbus should continue to be recognized on federal vacation proves that his legacy is not escaping historical censorship. The dispute that arises between the parties arises from the particular culture of massacres, racial discrimination, multiculturalism, geographical land rights, and other cultures. In the controversy of Christopher Columbus: Western civilization and primitiveism, Michael Berlin, Ph.D. Columbus day insisted that Western civilization is better than all other cultures, claiming that it is appropriate, and Columbus explained this fact as truth.

Howard Sinen's article "Columbus and Western Civilizations" revealed the true story of Christopher Columbus, opened his eyes and opened the chin, to fully know the fact that powerful people have written history and decided the future explained. Zinn tells us how to start learning Columbus as a worthy person celebrating and respecting Columbus as a hero from a very young age. But in fact, he is not a hero anyhow. In this article we will discuss the controversy over Columbus and his view in his world, in particular today's Americans over 500 years since the first visit to North America. Columbus is such a controversial person. Because many people remember that he is a great explorer who discovered the new world and tied it to the old world. A lot of people remember that he was a great leader, brought fame and wealth to his country, and brought Christianity to the American tribe.

Over the years Christopher Columbus was thought of as one of the greatest heroes in Western history. He was begged as an important discoverer of the new world and later brought civilization to the people behind. Regardless of the interests of European science and religion, it is generally considered that difficulties and cruelty for local residents can be neglected. But even his most enthusiastic fans admit Columbus is selfish, ruthless, greedy and racist. In the latter half of the 20th century, indigenous people awareness raising campaigns were held in the United States and elsewhere, and the heritage of Columbus was questioned. For these critics, 1492 is not only a major turning point for world history but also a starting point for destroying regional culture. Exploration was quickly replaced by exploitation and exploitation. It is war, slavery, illness, and death continue.
