Exploration The Good and not so Good
Imagine • You’ve only heard stories • Filled with myths • Sea monsters, prehistoric animals, cannibals • The Navigation is questionable • Sure advancements have made it better, but still • On top of that, a lot is based on celestial navigation • The stars • Many have gone, and many have not returned • The lands and seas you are going to are unknown • You’ll be the first yes, but who knows that when your dead • But still you set sail • WHY?????
WEALTH AND FAME • The opportunity to bring riches to your nation • The opportunity to have it named after you • The opportunity to be the first • The opportunity to be Rich and Famous • People may love baseball, basketball, football, soccer, volleyball • But they play it for that chance to make it to the bigs • To roll in paper, Escalades, and be on Cribs!!!

The Good • There are various famous explorers • Some who discovered • Some who went to continue discoveries • Some who went to get rich on discoveries

Columbus • Today Columbus is seen in two lights • Hero • Villian/Fraud • Hero • Discovered America and exploration • Villan/Fraud • Never actually set foot in America’s • 3 million Indians inhabited lands before he arrived • 0 remained by 1550 • Slavery
