My first reading reaction paper is over week 4. I choose to write this paper about the letters from Franciscan missionaries warning Governor Vargas of secret Pueblo Indian meetings, Dec. 1695. These letters are between Governor Vargas and San Antonio between December 18, 1693 and March 20, 1694 Theism source starts with Vargas telling what the plan is and then San Antonio warning the Governor of the Pueblos plans to revolt and how the Natives reacted to the missionary’s coming into Santa Fe . These are right before the Pueblo Revolt and my biggest reaction from this primary source was the may I perceived the Spanish and the events that led up to the Pueblo Revolt of 1696. This paper influenced my learning because I feel like before this …show more content…

There was a lot of language that he used that made him look like he thought he has superior to the people of the Native tribes. We also learned a lot about how the Natives reacted to Catholicism but with this source we see how the Spanish responded to that. They were just as insulted that the Pueblos did not condone their religious views as the Pueblos were of the thought that they had to be converted. This is something that we have seen all throughout history and to see this in New Mexico too is sadly not too surprising. In its simplest form it is Ethnocentrism. This is where you believe that your own ethnic group or culture is better than another’s. We saw it in America with slavery, and in Germany with the Jewish people. This is a common theme in history that is seen a lot. I think that it reflects a lot of what human nature was as a whole. It’s was very common to see you and your own as superior and it was all just about who had the power. This seems not different to me with the Spanish and the Pueblo before the revolt. Although I think this still may go on in some places I feel like we as humans have grown to become more exception of others and their divorce cultures. Especially in a city like Albuquerque where there is so much diversity, and I think the Pueblos of 1696 would be proud of what New Mexico has become

of schedule Spanish conquistadors, numerous evangelists considered themselves to be siding empathetically and defensively with the indigenous people groups. In 1537, Pope Paul III pronounced that Indians were not mammoths to be slaughtered or oppressed, but rather people with souls fit for salvation. At the time, this was comprehended to be an edified perspective of indigenous individuals, and one that good natured teachers tried to empower. Letters from ministers who lived among the Indians give us a feeling of the worries numerous held for the welfare of tribal people groups. A letter by Franciscan monk Juan de Escalona reprimands the "shocks against the Indians" conferred by a Spanish legislative head of what is presently New Mexico.

It is shown that the respect for the Native Americans helped Cabeza, because he writes,“We were people of ill fortune and no worth... The indians were… not at all convinced… we cured the sick… (the spaniards) killed those who were well”(Document D). The Native Americans respected Cabeza, because he showed them respect. If he hadn’t shown any respect, he would have been taken as a slave or killed. The Native Americans thought the spaniards were bad people, so they would have thought the same if Cabeza had acted the

One of the most historical moments of the Pueblo Revolt, was when the pueblos met up to try and stop the Spanish colony and the Franciscan missions, but instead 21 friars and multiple Spanish families were killed in one day (Weber 84). Angelico Chaves states the Naranjo is a representation that the definition of a Pueblo was changed in the years before the revolt, and a different culture had come about. Due to the revolt in people and culture, Chavez states that the revolt was successfully “planned and carried out” not just by individual leaders, but the main person of Pohe-yemo. In the second essay selection, Spanish Missions, Cultural Conflict, and the Pueblo Revolt of 1680, Henry Warner Bowden argues that the cause of the Pueblo Revolt is due to religion being the heart of the Spanish and Pueblo cultures (Weber 21).

They often killed and robbed several natives for their gold, as Document Six tells us. They were incredibly greedy, and wanted wealth and riches, as opposed to friendship and peace. Their cruelty grew so terrible that the Native Americans they tormented became afraid of the word "Christian," as the Spanish plunderers called themselves as such. Document Six was written by a Spaniard calling for reform. Document Seven displays Native American life as if it were quaint and quiet.

Not once did he think about how his actions might affect the Aztecs. A nation was murdered because no one considered what would happen if someone found out they were liars. He only thought about himself and didn’t realize what mayhem might occur. Also, he didn’t realize that the Aztecs sacrificed for their gods, and not for their own personal gain. Since he did not know this, he thought they were sick and

The humans are of the opinion that they should educate the Na’vi tribe in the human ways since they consider their ways to be better.

He noted their sophisticated, very well-developed societies. When Europeans came into contact with Native Americans, they tried to spread Christianity and force Natives to convert to their religion. This is because people who sided with Sepúlveda felt that their religion was superior and wouldn’t ever fathom that they could adopt any of the Natives’ religions. Places in the “new world” that were under Spanish rule often were exceedingly religiously intolerant. As the Europeans gained more and more power religiously, Native American religions were silenced.

In the 16th Century, Spain became one of the European forces to reckon with. To expand even further globally, Spanish conquistadors were sent abroad to discover lands, riches, and North America and its civilizations. When the Spanish and Native American groups met one another, they judged each other, as they were both unfamiliar with the people that stood before them. The Native American and Spanish views and opinions of one another are more similar than different because when meeting and getting to know each other, neither the Spaniards nor the Native Americans saw the other group of people as human. Both groups of people thought of one another as barbaric monsters and were confused and amazed by each other’s cultures.

The study of racism has a profound potential to become an ambiguous sociological endeavor. Incidentally, accounting for the multitude of factors which encompass this subject appear to make it the very heart of the matter and consequently the most time consuming. Although, it is my belief that all three of the main sociological theories (Functionalism, Conflict Theory and Symbolic Interactionism) should be integrated in order to achieve a legitimate and quantifiable outcome, for obvious reasons the “Conflict Theory” logically renders the best possible method to obtain a valid micro analysis of specific agents in this case. The oxford dictionary defines racism as being: prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one’s own race is superior; a belief that all members of each race possesses characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races.

Racism Racism is the conviction that qualities and capacities can be credited to individuals basically on the premise of their race and that some racial gatherings are better than others. Bigotry and separation have been utilized as capable weapons empowering apprehension or disdain of others in times of contention and war, and notwithstanding amid monetary downturns. Racism is also a very touchy subject for some people, as issues concerning free speech and Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights come into play. Some people argue that talking about supporting racial discrimination and prejudice is just words and that free speech should allow such views to be aired without restriction. Others point out that these words can lead to some very dire and serious consequences (the Nazi government policies being one example).

Racism: a curse for the society INTRODUCTION:- "Racism is an ideology that gives expression to myths about other racial and ethnic groups that devalues and renders inferior those groups that reflects and is perpetuated by deeply rooted historical, social, cultural and power inequalities in society."

Ethnocentrism and its prevalence in U.S culture Ethnocentrism is judging another culture solely by the values and standards of one’s own culture. Individuals who are ethnocentric judge other groups in relation to their own ethnic group or culture. I think The United States likes to refer to themselves as the “big mixing pot” of cultures. I would agree, we do have a wide range of different cultures, but that does not mean that we do not “evaluate and judge other cultures based on how they compare to our own cultural norms.” I think us as Americans feel this way, because we are too scared to change what we have learned and known since birth.
