Question

What might be a complex situation that arose from trans-Atlantic travel that brought European technologies and attitudes to indigenous peoples in the Americas? A. A contradiction: Potentially a better quality of life for indigenous persons who did not previously have similar technologies, yet potentially extreme horror if devaluing attitudes prevailed in the encounter B. A conflict: Two different concepts of "the other," as a difference of race as well as a difference in economic well-being C. A and B D. Pick C

Answer 1

C. A and B

Step-by-step explanation:

Both of these were complex situations that arose from trans-Atlantic travel that brought European technologies and attitudes to indigenous people in the Americas. A contradiction arose because, even though the indigenous people benefitted from the technology, they also suffered enormously from these encounters. Moreover, a conflict of identity also took place, as Europeans established themselves as superior and enjoyed most of the wealth of the civilization.
