How did European exploration and colonization forever change the landscape and lives of people in the Old World and the New World?

For one thing it changed alot.Because the more they traded the more they had dieaseses come over but it really was a good thing because people were able to get even more healther than what they ever could have been, and plus more and more people are eating everyday and it's helping them out alot. But as far as the landscaping goes there may be to many diesaes there but there all alright. And it really changed alot for the natives cause they were able to eat more but they also caught majority of the diseases and were killed on by one.

Would you go?

well if an astronaunt and i were asked to lead a voyage i think i'll do it. Because it sounds like it may be a lot of fun and i know i'ma run into alot of things i have never ever seen in my life. And i think the reward will be me making it back to the planet earth with no problems at all. and another reward will be me just going out to see all of the wonders and the sights of all the things in outer space. Some of the risks going into the unknown may be lost of fuel or another thing may be an astro field and that could really damage the rocket ship. Then another thing could be miss direction and we could be lost for, forever. And like i said i would go. I can't miss out on an oppertunity like that. I would like to see everthing to unknown have to show me.

the printing press and the spread of knoledge.

well first of all the printing press helped them out allot. Because they had to do it the hard way at first. Like they had to do something like taking a piece of sheet paper and putting ink on the paper with blocks that had letters and they would copy it that way. But now they have the printing press and it moves allot faster than the other things. I mean it's still slow but it can get through things quicker. And now they can make more books and such and that means allot of more people can learn. Because at first only people who were at the churches could read and plus they only had like one book per town and poor people couldn't bye it. But the more copies they sell they less the book and the more people get to learn.


And now we have like the Internet. You don't even have to print it out because it is like rite there in front of you and you can read it over and over again with out it being ruined or destroyed. And plus you can get more in to details with what you may be looking for and you can learn allot more than what you thought you could. And plus it doesn't matter if you poor or even rich Everybody has the same opportunities as each other, As long as you can get to a computer with the Internet. And now the people who don't even look like they may be smart be one of the smartest kids in the school. And with this new technology you can learn with out being judge.

Do you agree with the famous Latin saying carpe diem?

i really do agree with this latin saying.Because it involves u of having nothing but fun and plus u live ur life to the fullest and with out any worries. That's what people really need in there life. People now a days don't realize u only have one life and u need to spend it making urself happy instead of walking around all the time looking dead to the world. So yea i agree with this little slogan because i can really relate to this slogan.

what does it mean to be civilized

Being civilized mean having a well being on life and living it to thwe best of your potential. And that means being able to have a well living culture and having a good look on how life is made and living it the way it is suppose to be lived. Then again it could mean acting like a well behaved person instead of acting like a big nasty slob out in the country.
