5 Paragraph Essay By Jessica Low
Rennassiance Inventions
During the Rennissaince there were many inventions that helped the age of exploration. One of the inventions that the Conquistadors used was the Triangle Sail. Another is the caravel. The telescope and compass helped navigate while traveling.
Gold,God,and Glory
The Conquistadors were very greedy. They wanted three things, Gold,God,and Glory. The Conquistadors were looking forward to putting their hands on gold, have all the people believe in their god and be worshiped in glory.
European Dominance
The natives were virtually powerless in all ways to the Conquistadors. They had no armor. Most civilizations got wiped out because of the Conquistadors greed. Diseas was another major thing to. The Conquistadors had no idea that they were spreading such major diseases.
Personal Reflections
I think that having some weird men come into my strange territory and ruin all of my things would be terrible. Sometimes I wonder if they ever thought the concept through. That they werer ruining peoples lifes and that the young ones would probably never get to see their parents again.
Future Exploration
I hope that someday we will be able to come to find a cure for cancer. My brother has cancer-other known as luekemia. He has had it since he was three. The nurses and doctors tried to help as much as they could to try and find a cure. They put him into a surgery that almost cost him his life. What I am saying is that like many people, if we can put our heads together and think really hard maybe we can find a cure. (My brothers name is Michael.)
GOLD,GOD,GLORY
This is why they came to America! They came for resources/gold, things like slaves, sugar, spices, land and, food.They came for glory, they wanted to be remembered for hundreds of years. They also came to spread their religion. So, they killed and conquered for GOLD,GOD,GLORY
European dominance
I think, if I were a indian I would not be happy about people coming and killing me. This coming and killing is no fair. They could have come and made peace but no, they wanted everything. I think black & white people should have been equals. European dominance is and was, no fair
Renaissance Inventions and How They Influenced Exploration
Many things were invented in the Renaissance. One of these was the telescope. Not only did it help Galileo decide that the solar system is heliocentric, not geocentric, but it also helped explores see land ahead better. This probably made it less likely to hit a reef. In the next paragraph, you will learn the reasons conquistadors explored.
Gold,God, and Glory.
Most of what conquistadors wanted from exploring can be summed up in three words:gold, God, and glory. Some explorers got what they wanted. One of these was Sir Francis Drake. He got glory from circumnavigating the world. Others did not get their disires. Magellan wanted spices, which were like gold, but he was killed before he got where he was going. The next paragraph will be about the fairness of killing natives to get these three things.
European Dominance/ Killing Natives
When the conquistadors went to the New World, they found natives. They wanted the land, and it's resources, so they killed and enslaved the natives. Then they sent them to hacienda's in Hispanola. The natives tried to fight back, but Spanish people won with their guns. I think this massacre was totally unfair. In the next paragraph I will tell you what would happen if aliens tried to conquer us.
Alien Invasion
i believe that aliens exsist and i admit that if aliens came to attack us, we would probably not be much better off then the conquered natives. The only thing that we would probably do better than the natives is that we would not worship the aliens. One possibility in our favor is that the aliens might have just had their weapons destroyed or they had never gone to war before so they did not have good weapons. we could also hope that their planet was out of resources so when they saw how much of our resorces we
Renaissance
During the renaissance there were different inventions that helped people with exploring. The important invention that i am talking about is the gun. Conquistidors would use these guns called muskets to kill th Natives.During the Triangular Trade they would trade guns for slaves. Guns were very important to explorers. I will share what explorers wanted in the next paragraph.
G, G, G
Explorers wanted different things. Explorers wanted resources. They also wanted something to do with religin and glory. Sugar was higher in prices in gold back then. Most people called it white gold. Maany explorers would either fight wars or find knowledge to get glory for themselves. An example was the Spanish Armada. The explorers wanted the natives gold. The explorers were monothestic meaning belief in one god. In the next paragraph I will talk about the conquerings of Natives.
Conquering of Natives
The explorers would conquer the natives for many things. One of the most popular was for the gold. Many native civilisations were conquered by explorers to find gold. The Inca's were one of the many great people that got conquered. It was kind of fair because we wouldn't be here, but it wasn't fair because they wiped out civilisations. In the next paragraph I will talk about aliens.
Aliens
5 Paragraph Essay By:Sophie Smith
Did you know that during the
Renaissance there were many inventors? Those inventors helped the Age of Exploration. The caravel was one important invention. Did you know that the conquistadors sailed on new ships to get to the new world?They even circumnavigate the whole globe.{How cool is that?}
Gold,God,and Glory were the things that motivated the conquistadors.Natives were polytheistic,and explorers were monotheistic. Do you know who would kill and enslave the natives? The Explores. Bart DE Las Casas thought that slavery was wrong.Conquistadors disagreed with him. All they wanted was Glory.
Christians would kill people such as slaves, and natives. The Christians would steal the African slaves and take them to the new world. Slaves would do some work involved with sugar.When the slaves were on the boat diseases would
INVENTIONS
During the Renaissance there were
the age of exploration.One important invention was the caravel Conquistadors sailed on to the mew world.They even circumnavigated the
globe.In the next paragraph.I'will
discass whet these explorers
wanted from exploring.
Gold,God,Glory
The conquistadors were motivated
by three concepts: Gold,God,Glory.
the monarchs wanted rescurces like
sugar,spices and humans
RENAISSANCE INVENTIONS
During the renaissance there were- many inventions that helped the age of exploration. One was the submarine. Eventually we can even circumnavigate the world by submarine. Scientist have a great amount of theories that disprove the ideas of going around the world under water, but i think that we can. I strongly believe we can go around the world in a submarine.
GOLD, GOD, AND GLORY
the conquistadors weer motivated by three concepts, Gold, god, and glory.when i think of vikings it makes me think of gold, god, and glory. War could start by people arguing about gods. War could also start by people fighting over gold or in other words resources. the part that really makes me think of glory is winning the war, and having victory over someone else no matter what you are fighting for. people such as vikings Incas and Aztecs would have glory for any war, battle, or just a fight that they won.
EUROPEAN DOMINATES
When the Incas and the Aztecs fought the Incas used muskets while the Aztecs used spears, daggers, and other weapons. One reason the Aztecs lost was because they had light weaponry. There is also another bigger reason, which is because of diseases such as small pocks, malaria, or even Giardia. the Incas and the Aztecs wiped out from many things such as lack of weaponry. diseases, sicknesses, or viruses.
ALIENS
I do not believe in aliens, and i never will, unless they flat out come to earth and i see them. Any way if aliens were to come i would not do any thing unlike the wackos who would like try to fight them. If aliens had the technology to get to earth fast like without dying, then they would for sure have the power to take us over, and we couldn't do anything about it if they have as much technology as people say they do. I do not think Aliens will ever come to our planet.
FUTURE EXPLORATION
During the Renaissance there were many inventions that help the age of Exploration. One important invention was the caravel. Conquistadors sailed on these new ships with triangle sails to the New World. they even circumnavigated the globe in the next paragraph I will discuss what these explorers wanted from exploring.
The conquistadors were motivated by three concepts: Gold, God, and Glory. The monarchs wanted resources like sugar, spices, and humans. These natives were polytheistic and the explorers killed and enslaved these natives. One priest named Bart de las Casas thought slavery was wrong. But the conquistadors wanted glory and didnt listen to him. In the next paragraph I will tell you how these native cultures were savagely murders.
The natives were virtually powerless compared to the metal covered conquistadors. The Inca, Aztecs, and Maya were wiped out through the technology of the Europeans and their diseases. Entire civilizations disappeared with in years because of the greed that the conquistadors had. I feel completely confused at how a christian would kill so many innocent people just for things. They valued items more than life.
I don't really think that there are aliens on earth right now.But I do believe that there are other creatures in the Universe because it is so big! Also I wonder what they look like and how they act. And I also wonder where they live if they exist.If they do exist I wonder if we are ready for them.
Renasissance inventions
During the renaissance there were many inventions that helped the age of exploration. One of those inventions was the submarine. With the inventions we will soon be able to circumnavigte the world. sciencetists have theories that say we can't circumnavgate the world. I think we can go around the world in a submarine if we really wanted to though.
Gold, God , and Glory
the conquistidors were motivated by three concepts. Gold , God, and Glory. When people think of vikings they think of glory and gold. war would start over people fighting over what god and and who's gold it was gonna be. some conquistidors would go to places and claim it was they'res to get glory.
European Dominates
When the Incas and aztecs fought, the incas used buns like muskets and the aztecs used bows and other melee weapons. You could say The aztecs lost because they didn't have the good weapons. I think the reason they lost was cause of the deseases and like small pox, malaria, and giardia. The incas and aztecs were wiped out because of deseases and viruses.
Aliens
I don't beleive in aliens and i probably never will i mean i guess i would if they came to earth. how would we know if they were aliens though cause they would probably look a lot like humans. who's to say that they even would have technology that we do mabey they;re thill in the stone age. what planet would they even live on, mars? I don't think aliens would or could ever come to earth.
age of exploration
In the Renaissance there where many inventions that helped explores. One important invention was the compass, it helped the explorers and people know what way they were going. The compass helped explorers circumnavigate the world. another invention was the telescope. The telescope helped the explorers to see up coming land or maybey to spy on enymes. the telescope wasnt just for sea or land it was also used for looking up into the stars, or to even see if we were heliocentric or geocentric.
The conquistadors where motivated by mainly 3 concepts. the first concept is gold, they wanted to be rich. the next one is glory, they wanted there names to be herd after a voyage or exploration. For glory they might Evan do it in wars, something to motivate them to win. the last one is god, they probably wanted to help there religion. in the next paragraph i will talk to you about killing natives and the European domain.
The natives where no match for the medal covered conquistadors. The conquistadors powered over the the incas, astects and the myans trough tecnology and diesies such as smallpox. they killed many and they began to disapear.the people died of the conquistodors, invading there towns. i dont even get why people evan christains would kill just foe there belifs,jewls, and gold.in the next paragraph i will talk to you about my personal reflet of aliens.
There are many inventions that helped us to this very day. For example the toilet helped us so we don't have to go pee and poo on the streets. Another important invention is the boat so we don't have to travel on foot so much. even shoes and cloths are another way important invention that helps us today. People circumnavigated the boats so they can steer the boat.
Most of the conquistadors wanted gold,glory,and god. back then they thought that sugar was worth more then gold. Slavery is wrong but back they thought that it as ok to have slaves. The explores were the ones working the slaves. The slaves were Natives the explores were monotheistic.
Back then most of the Natives or slaves did not have any freedom. Europeans wiped them out. Europeans wiped them out by disease like small pox, malaria, and measles. Europeans had better technology then the Natives. This is kind of like the movie Pocahontas.
I think that aliens could be true but there probably not. I think that they could be true because some of the alien sightings look convincing and true. But there probably not because there is usually some kind of explanation. Also I am really scared if aliens could be true because of in the movies they eat people and look vicious. Another thing is that scientists are trying to figure out if there real or not real.
I think that the future exploration is searching for time travel. Because imagine all the places people could go and visit.
Alex Buttars 6th hour Social Studies The Age of Exploration had many inventions that helped the explorers, explore. They would circumnavigate around the world. The idea was to get to the New World. They also wanted many things from exploring. I will talk about the inventions helped the explorers. The conquistadors were motivated by their three concepts: Gold, God, and Glory. The monarchs wanted resources like sugar, humans, and spices. There was a Priest against slavery by the name of Bartalona De Las Casas. All the conquistadors wanted was glory, so they didn’t listen to Bartalona De Las Casas. But, there was definitely a price to pay! I will talk about how these Native cultures got savagely murdered in the next paragraph. There were many things that the metal covered conquistadors did just to take away life! There were many diseases that the conquistadors spread like small pox, malaria, and measles. This resulted in a ton of deaths! The slaves were kept in a Hacienda, and they were sent over the route of the Triangular Trade. The conquistadors used muskets and guns to kill the Natives. I feel that it isn’t fair that all of those people died! I do not believe that there are Aliens, or were Aliens on this world. Some people think that Aliens are going to come down to this world and take out the whole human race! I think that is ridicules, because just some Aliens can’t take out the entire human race. Another thing that helps support my opinion is that I don’t think that they have the technology to come down in a UFO!!! Someone might say that they see a UFO in the sky, but it could be kids messing around with something like a remote control that looks like a UFO!! There for I do not believe in Aliens!!! I think we should explore the sea more. The reason being is because we already know a lot about our Solar System, but not a lot about our sea! There might be things that we don’t know existed in our sea. We can use some of the technology that we already have to help! We also have underwater “carriers” like submarines to help us explore the sea!!!
5 Paragraph Essay on Exploration
By Erin Peterson 2 Hr.
During the time of the Renaissance many items today we use were invented. Glasses, clocks, caravels, and more were invented for exploration. Conquistadors were challenged to find land claim it for the country they are sailing for. Gold, God, and Glory are the three ways why they wanted to explore and wars. While exploration was spreading throughout the Americas Natives of tribes were being killed. Exploration in the Renaissance was quite remarkable.
The three reasons for war and exploration are Gold, God, and Glory. Gold meaning resources like land or food, God meaning my religion is better, now die, and Glory because they wanted to be remembered down through history (I will squish you like a bug). They fought for Gold because during this time spices were popular. Everyone wanted sugar, brown sugar, and more to spice up their food. God was when they fought for their religion. And finally, Glory because they wanted to be known throughout the world down through time. Gold, God, and Glory are the only reasons why exploration and wars occur.
Incas, Mayans, and Aztecs were all killed by the Spanish Conquistadors. Smallpox, measles and malaria were diseases that were brought over from Europe that spread to the Natives. The Spanish brought over things that the Natives had never heard of such as guns, trained animals, diseases, and more. I feel confused of what the conquistadors did. If they were Christian and the Ten Commandments say do not murder then why did they kill? I feel sorrow for the Natives that they had such a difficult past.
In exploration now we don’t discover land. Now that we have discovered the earth and the moon we are reaching out to farther places such as mars or other near-by stars. The future of exploration will change as long as there are distant possessions or land to obtain. Like the Fountain of Youth, we haven’t discovered it yet but are still willing to look. Humans are curious living beings. We don’t stop exploring because there are always some far to reach destinations that have not been completed yet. I think that the history, current, and future will be quite remarkable to know and learn about.
In the future of exploration I hope great leaders will discover many things I always thought were real as a child. Such as talking animals, fairies, and other fictional characters. I hope that in exploration for the future it will be discoveries for great and more important things more than just fictional characters out of a storybook. I’ve always wanted people to land on Pluto and walk around, but we have to take it one step at a time so we are shooting for mars for now. I hope that exploration will soon become a part of life to everyone. People whose names have been passed down through history are lucky indeed. Not everyone got to discover America first or fly around the world, but I wish that in the future everyone will have a little bit more of it in their lives. Exploration in the future will be wondrous.
Renaissance inventions & how they influenced exploration
The compass, telescope and, glasses were very important for exploring. I'll start with the compass, the compass is for knowing which way is north so they knew which way they were going. The telescope is for looking at the outer solar system or other galaxies. Glasses are for reading or for using maps. So, all of these are used for exploring.
Aliens
Are they real: YES. Will we find them: NO. Aliens are either less advanced, more advanced, or they are the exact same as us. If you go to LDS church you know that aliens exist. A fact is really aliens do not exist, they are really humans from another planet.
Future of exploration?
I think the future of exploration is the ocean. We know less about whats under us than above us. The ocean probably has hundreds of undiscovered fish. The next thing to explore is the OCEAN!!!!
