Poma de Ayala uses the concept of a foreground, mid ground and background to give a sense of depth in the drawing. In the foreground, a man in armor is shown holding the body of Atahualpa on the table. Resting on a table in the mid ground of the drawing is Atahualpa himself, holding a cross.

Ecuador and Democracy Briefly, democracy is a matter of degree and quality. Confusion often arises in discussion about democracy. This stems from the different premises people have in mind when they use the term. In my opinion, most people fail to specify their underlying premises, and we often incorporate into our sense of democracy disparate factors that may or may not relate to it.

“Leadership is influence”. (John C. Maxwell) Huayna Capac believed in leading by intentionally enforcing the Incan traditions and way of life to anyone who encountered them. Huayna was the son of Topa Inca Yupanqui (1471-1493), an Incan King who led a massive expansion of the Incan Empire, spreading it towards the Tahuantinsuyu or land of four quarters. The newly conquered domain was so colossal that it dispersed deep into the Amazon forests. Because his father was an emperor, Capac grew up living

was confused what to think, I didn’t want to make my mind up before the trial even started but I couldn’t help but think he was guilty right off the bat. The reason I thought he was guilty was because on the Case Summary it said, “On July 26, 1533 Atahualpa, the emperor of the Inca Empire was found to be strangled to death at the hands of Spanish conquistadors. The command to end the victim’s life was given by Francisco Pizarro.” That last sentence made me think that he was guilty because it says that
half brothers fighting over the crown, Huascar and Atahualpa. When Pizzaro landed in South America, he happened to run into Huascar. He killed Huascar and traveled farther on land. Atahualpa wanted to meet the man who killed Huascar and thank him for killing the man who was threatening his position as king.

If Atahualpa had truly been a threat to expedition, Pizarro could simply have killed him, but the ransom shows form of greed for gold, which shows a selfish
