A persons feeling can be depicted by theway he or she draws their pictures.
Superiority and inferiority can be shown bythe way the artist makes a person or shiplarger or smaller than another person orship. This is shown in the Spanish picturewhere the French ships are on the coast ofAmerica. The French ships are small and theNative Americans appear to be larger. Inanother picture it shows a tribe of NativeAmericans gathered around each other in avillage. The first picture shows the Spaniards beliefthat the French are inferior to the NativeAmericans and themselves. They depict thisby drawing the Native Americans muchlarger than the French people and even theirships. The power of the Spaniards is provenwhen they combine forces with the NativeAmericans to annihilate the French inFlorida. The Europeans believed power was aboutconquering people. They conquered peoplein the name of God and Christianity. If theycould not convert them they would destroythem. Their only knowledge was of God andwhat he wanted them to do.
The Native Americans believed power wasin the tribe. The picture of the NativeAmericans showed how they all cometogether. They thought a close knit societywas the best way of life. They createdvillages where people lived close to eachother. They had a number of differentoccupational groups in their society. TheNative Americans knew how to use the landfar better than the Europeans. The Nativesfarmland was located around the village.
That also showed the how tight their bondswere. Because they all worked together onthe farm and all took home some of theprofit. On the other hand, the Europeans tended tokeep a distance from each other. They hadno sense of community. They did thisbecause they wanted more land to farm. Themore land they farmed the more money theycould make. The Europeans had no realidea of who their neighbors were they livedin isolation. The main difference is theEuropeans were all about themselves,where the Native Americans were all aboutteamwork. I believe this is more about power than it is factual. I think if theSpaniards wanted to change history they could because they hadthe power. One nobody really knew what was going on in the NewWorld so they could lie about it. The second thing is who can stopthem. At that time Spain was a major world power, so they coulddo whatever they wantedCategory: Psychology
