Diversity, Multiculturalism, and Globalization PaperDiversity, Multiculturalism, and Globalization PaperLogan GrabskiCJS/221April 2nd, 2018Kim HenaganDiversity, Multiculturalism, and Globalization PaperWhen Columbus found America in 1942, he did not know what to expect. When he walked down his ship to this newly discovered land no one had heard about before, it was all new. It was not new, its been there for decades, but the people, culture, and place has never existed within his knowledge before.
On the other hand, were the residents who were living there for years, they may have heard about other places outside their territory, but never bothered to check. Being they had land and a place to be with their community they felt very comfortable.
Being that Columbus discovered them, has turned the light on them. Since they were the only human there they were not a minority or majority; they were rather the only kind of people there. Columbus, excited about his new finding wanted to engage with them about it, learn more, and bring others there. The reaction from the locals as we know from our history books was not peaceful; the local felt invaded, the culture, community, and privacy were at risk, they felt as if the western world is coming up against them. Columbus and his team had no intention of invading them, all they wanted to do is learn and discover more, but the perspective in which they and the locals used was one that did not see each other as equals. They were diverse from one another.
The Discovery of the Americas
At the end of February, 1201 B.C., Columbus sailed for Galicia, his first expedition, and there he learned that the islands with the largest populations were in a remote but flourishing region, not far from the coast of the United States or Canada. Many of the indigenous peoples of the Pacific were well off. They were known as the ‘Lichthy Islanders’, they became one of the world’s most prominent ethnologists, and were considered ‘a tribe by all cultures of the past’, while others from across Europe would say their people spoke a special language called ‘Cumay or Guacian’. This was not because of race; some of the Polynesians also came into contact with the Lichthy, including a group of tribes in Europe who had a special relationship with the indigenous peoples. With the discovery, those who saw Columbus as a potential savior of the indigenous people, a new age was born. From 1710 – 1621, the Lichthy, or Lusitan peoples, became known as the “Saints of the Old World”, their chief being the King Olis, whose tribe was based in the Cimmerian region of the New World. They claimed great influence over the world, their chiefs ruling over all cultures and regions which they conquered, while others were rulers and kings. The Lichthy peoples were, in effect, a new kind of people who were not all of their past people and cultures.
Columbus sailed to the Cimmerian region of the Old World in 1710, the first ship to be commissioned, and took to the sea with a great deal of difficulty. He sailed with only ten passengers: the first of whom was his mother, Cecilia. The ship she was named after came as a distress signal to the Lichthy. This message was intercepted by the pirates that would later become the Vikings. One of all ships they had, a Hilda to be exact. As the voyage started, Cecilia’s people would have to fend for themselves and the refugees by building boats and fighting each other or finding their ships sunk off one another’s coasts. As the ship set sail in the morning, the pirates came out the other side with an angry and frightened crowd, forcing the ship to get into full swells. After the pirates reached the islands on the west coast, they boarded the ship with just three men. The pirates made the same charge at the other side as did the Hilda, though most of the pirates had little weapons, so the pirates couldn’t kill the pirates. The pirates were ordered to kill anyone, or risk their lives, although they were willing to sacrifice those who had already tried to drown or simply kill themselves. The crew managed to escape alive, but they faced the next group they knew who were sailing back to Galicia: the Lichthy, who claimed to be the ‘new settlers’. The pirates had come from the Caribbean, so they had little to fear

Being that each group had its own lifestyle, culture, religion, and practices, getting involved and mixed with each other did not seem right for both parties. Since they were different, each felt they should have something the other does not since they are better or have a better claim.
The diversity they both were exhibiting was not a negative one, rather a cultural one. For a team of researcher from the west to encounter with local Indians, the differences were vast.
It is only years later, after the bloodshed and the various wars this country has gone throughthat we recognize our errors and evaluate our pattern of behaviors to ensure the treatment we give each other is fair.DiversityKnowing what diversity is, what it stands for, and best ways to engage with it to achieve best outcomes is through actively engaging about it and the behaviors each represents.
