“Christopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue in 1492,” this simple, but yet compelling educational phrase taught young children about the long tale of the probable explorer Christopher Columbus. Although, not many know that if it wasn't for his sponsor Spain, Christopher Columbus would have never found America leaving a whole continent unexplored. Sponsorship’s ruin the educational experience and distract students from learning thus creating a negative appeal within corporate business. Despite sponsorship’s negative appeal on schools, they actually please administration by providing income, influencing economic products, and set schools apart by various brands. Sponsorship’s provide money for school that could otherwise not afford necessities for their faculty or …show more content…
Broadening the horizon, colleges can also be added to this list because it is more localized with sponsorship’s and generates a lump sum of donations. The popular town of Vermilion, South Dakota is home to more than 10,000 people, mostly being students who's main job is to study at the University of South Dakota. For everyone that is a Coyote fan they are familiar with the superb girls basketball team that received a brand new gym not so long ago; due to the Howling Pack the new arena was made possible. In Contrary, high schools host a large number of students, mainly being in the thousands, which requires transportation to and from school grounds. These substantial vehicles require tremendous amounts of gas, which can be hard to afford. Statistics show that school buses cost anywhere between 100,000 to 200,000 dollars, along with that, gas costs about 200 dollars per tank making this a difficult payment. Likewise sponsors can provide schools with enough
Christopher Columbus does not deserve to be honored as a hero with his own holiday. Close to 500 years, people have praised Christopher Columbus and also celebrated him as though he was the one who truly founded America. Teachers teach students that he was a great man, also how he found treasures and land known as America. Students are also taught about the names of his three ships he used on his first voyage. However, they did not teach us the truth about Christopher Columbus, and his so called “discovery”.
In 1492, Christopher Columbus unintentionally discovered America, when he landed in the Caribbean Islands, while looking for a direct sea route to Asia. Despite the fact that Columbus believed he had found a direct sea route to India, he has been called the discoverer of America and hailed as a hero. More recently, however, he has been called a villain, with accusations saying that not only did he not discover America, but also that he was the cause of slavery and oppression in the Americas. These allegations are absurd and lack logical evidence.
In 1492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue. And, when he reached his destination he killed, raped and enslaved innocent natives. Was Columbus a villain? The answer to that question, in my opinion, would be yes. Christopher Columbus was a cruel, self-centered, delusional man who does not deserve to be praised for the discovery of America.
For more than five centuries Americans have lifted Christopher Columbus to heights of greatness and god-like. We celebrate his life as though he was a man that had done us a great favor. In resent years Christopher Columbus has come under scrutiny, his life and works being questioned more than celebrated. There have be many great men and women that contributed to the building of our great nation but they do not receive anywhere as much recognition as Columbus. When a person begins to study the actual accounts of the "finding of the New World" they begin to wonder if Columbus should adored or hated for his actions. As a child I was taught that Columbus was a great man that had accomplished great things for the sake of humanity, but in reality his agenda was not to better humanity but to better himself. He found the Americas by mere chance and he did not even know of what he found. We give him credit for "finding" the Americas but history tells of the people, that he called Indians, already inhabiting the foreign land. So you decide whether or not Christopher Columbus should be revered a hero.
My personal opinion? Villain. Christopher Columbus was a nasty man who was motivated by greed. “The information that Columbus wanted most was: Where is the Gold” (Zinn 4)? He logged in his journal his first encounter with the Arawak people, stating “As soon as I arrived in the Indies, I took some of the natives by force in order that they might give me information of whatever there is in these parts” (Zinn 4). Their crime? “They wore tiny gold ornaments in their ears” (Zinn 5). Columbus would stop at nothing to gain what he most desired. Horrible as he was, he ultimately paved the way for America as we know it. All things happen for a reason, right?
All heroes have flaws, but if those flaws include murder, rape, and kidnapping, that person is really a villain disguised as a hero. Most people look fondly on Christopher Columbus since he traveled to the unknown and started the colonization of America that lead to the countries that we know today. Columbus is not a hero, however, since he did not discover the Americas, he treated the Native Americans inhumanly, and even in his own time, Columbus was a criminal.
Christopher Columbus, was he a hero, or villain? For about 500 years, people have praised him and celebrated his life as though he was someone who did good for us. Schools teach students that Columbus was a great man, found gold and pearls, and discovered new lands. Students are even taught the names of Christopher Columbus' three ships he used on his first voyage. However, they grow up not knowing the truth about Christopher Columbus, what he really did to 'accomplish' his tasks. I simply believe that schools should show both sides of Columbus' story, so that students can be aware of the facts behind the 'discovery' of Early America.
the myths of his voyages begin with himself. For it was he who reported to
The University of the Ozarks is well known for having plenty of financial aid programs for students. The first part of it consists in the opportunity to get full or part scholarships because of academic or sport achievements. 90% of students at the University of the Ozarks have economic support, this support is given in different amounts and primarily by the University, the Federal Government, or the state of Arkansas. The second part involves part time jobs on campus, around 30% of students have jabs on campus. The objective of this economic support is to make education affordable for more students, and to help students to avoid hard-to-pay loans.
Christopher Columbus was one of the most legendary sailors and explorers of all time. Christopher Columbus , an italian explorer, was born in the year of 1451 in the Republic of Genoa. Christopher Columbus was a teenager when he first set sail the ocean in 1465. He became a sailor in 1476 and started to travel many places before going on his largest voyage in 1480. In 1492, Christopher Columbus exploration to the New World linked Europe and the Americas. His discoveries enlightened the globe and started a new age of exploration. His standards and morals changed the history of the whole globe. He was known for traveling for all types of reasons for many foreign monarchs. But why would a monarch from one country be interested in employing an explorer from a foreign country to complete such an important task?
The amount of fame Christopher columbus gets for discovering America is ridiculous, most of the time several people don’t realize he did not discover it at all the natives living there, was proof. Even if Columbus did “Discover America” he shouldn’t be seen as the hero he is the villain, for example, Columbus painted a disgusting picture of the friendly Natives. He wrote in his journal “They … brought us parrots and balls of cotton and spears and many other things… They willingly traded everything they owned… They were well-built, with good bodies and handsome features…. They do not bear arms, and do not know them, for I showed them a sword, they took it by the edge and cut themselves out of ignorance.
...s of the Americas, what was their life like, and how did it change when Columbus arrived ,’ wrote a student of mine in 1991. ‘However, back then everything was presented as if it were the full picture,’ she continued, ‘so I never thought to doubt that it was.’” Most students after high school, fail to analyze controversial issues in our society. What citizens know about our past is what they have learned in high school history courses.
While federal-aid helps people like Clifford in their desire to make a fortune, colleges and universities are prevented from receiving what could help achieve their desire to provide valuable education to their students. Although Carey proceeds to advocate his view that for-profits have their place in the market, the benefits—accessibility, speedy degrees, etc.—do not come close to

On October 14, 1492, Christopher Columbus founded the New World, sparking one of the biggest domino effects in history, and changing the world forever. Columbus 's expedition led to the discovery of the vast natural resources of America, such as precious metals, vast expansive woods, and nutrient rich soil perfect for growing crops and raising livestock. Whenever there are large quantities of resources found, it is not long before colonization follows. This spawned a period of competition for territory, resources, and colonization in the Americas. Columbus was not the first person to discover the Americas. Chinese merchants and Vikings had already been to the Americas, as well as the indigenous people who lived there. He was the first person
