When two people meet for the first time, each takes stock of the other, often focusing on differences. Scholar Martha Minow warns that difference always “implies a reference: difference from whom? I am no more different from you than you are from me. A short person is different only in relation to a tall one; a Spanish-speaking student is different in relation to an English-speaking one. But the point of comparison is often unstated.” By identifying unstated points of comparison, we can examine the relationships between those who have the power to assign labels of difference and those who lack that power.
The first meetings between Europeans and the Indigenous Peoples of the Americas illustrate Minow’s argument. Historians Peter Carroll and David Noble describe those encounters:
[On] an otherwise ordinary autumn day shortly after sunrise, the Arawak inhabitants of the Caribbean Islands noticed strange ships sailing on the horizon, much larger than their dugout canoes. As these ships moved closer and closer, they saw strange-looking people with light skins aboard, making odd gestures. The Arawak youths stood at the banks hesitantly, and then some of the braver men began swimming toward the mysterious boats.
These strangers offered the Arawak red-colored caps, glass beads, and other curious trifles. In exchange, the Arawak brought parrots, cotton skeins, darts, and other items. Then the strangers drew out swords, which the Arawak, in ignorance, grasped by the blades, cutting themselves. It was a symbolic act, this inadvertent drawing of blood. For the Arawak and the strangers looked at the world from opposite angles, and both were fascinated by what the other was not.
To the Arawak, the newcomers were so obviously different in language, dress, and color that the Arawak doubted that the Europeans were human beings. “They believe very firmly,” wrote Christopher Columbus after his first voyage to the Americas, “that I, with these ships and people, came from the sky.” Other Indigenous Peoples reacted in similar ways to their first encounters with Europeans.
Columbus and other Europeans had their own misconceptions. They mistakenly believed that the Arawak were “Indians.” Carroll and Noble write:

How is the leader chosen in a presidential democracy
Answer:
By direct voting
Explanation:
In the system of presidential democracy, the leader of the state is chosen by the direct voting of the people. Each person's votes was the preferred candidate, the votes are counted and the candidate who has the majority of the votes is elected as the leader. The leader is most often called president.

Why was Napoleon eager to sell the Louisiana Territory to the United States at a reasonable price? A.The United States was friends with Napoleon. B.France did not want the territory anymore. C.France was about the enter into war with Spain. D.France was about to enter into war with Great Britain.
Answer:
D. France was about to enter into war with Great Britain.
Explanation:
The French Revolution was a revolution that started on the 5th of May, 1789 and ended on the 9th of November, 1799 at the kingdom of France.
Basically, the revolution was centered around the decision made by the French citizens to redesign and restructure their political landscape and leadership styles and as such led to the abolishment of the feudal system (Ancien Regime) and absolute monarchy. Also, this revolution caused a lot of political turmoil and chaotic bloodbath leading to the death of King Louis XVI and his wife Marie Antoinette in the month of January, 1793.
Consequently, Napoleon Bonaparte ascended to power by becoming the first consul in the month of November, 1799.
Hence, the reason why Napoleon was eager to sell the Louisiana Territory to the United States at a reasonable price was because his country, France was about to enter into war with Great Britain and as such, Napoleon needed money for the war.
The purchase of the Louisiana Territory was made by President Thomas Jefferson of the United States of America and it was considered to be significant to them because it almost doubled the size of the United States of America.

Was there a well defined beginning and end to the Renaissance?(an exact
beginning and an exact end)
Answer: There was no exact beginning and end of the Renaissance.
Explanation:
When we talk about the beginning of the Renaissance, it is not possible to define the exact date of the beginning of the process. The beginnings of the Renaissance are tied to the second half of the fourteenth century and are “tied” to Italian cities, primarily Florence. It is not an event that happened "overnight" but a process that developed over a long period of time, therefore it is not possible to determine the exact year of the beginning of the Renaissance.
The Renaissance as such does not even have an exact ending. It is a process that has evolved and led to some other movements whose precursors are the renaissance. The Renaissance thus led to the Reformation, the Enlightenment, and the Scientific Revolution, so that the Renaissance has no exact end.

The economy and social relations of the Middle Ages were based on Feudalism. It is a system headed by a king; below it was on the list the feudal lords to whom the king gave land, the feudal lords allocated land to the soldiers on whom the serfs worked. In case of war, the king asked the feudal lord for an army, the feudal lord hired soldiers for the war, and the serfs received the smallest part of the complete chain, enough to survive. The disappearance of feudalism meant the birth of the economy's first elements; it happened with private property emergence during the XIX.
