Versus america: Encounters of various worlds and new Europe civilizations

Abstract:

October 12 is a historical date, generally accepted and remembered as the Day of the Discovery of America, but as such it is not so, rather both Europe and America discovered each other because the former had more culture and perhaps more modern procedures compared to those of America where they included not only two or three civilizations poorly shaped and disorganized, but America of each civilization, tribe and / or world had their beliefs and customs already schematized among the folklore. Christopher Columbus who was the second to travel from Europe to these New Lands, New Civilizations and Worlds never imagined what besides gold, precious stones, exquisite fauna and flora, food never seen in Europe of course alunder a rustic level but unique and essential for their commercial business. Europe, on the other hand, contributed the most in terms of culture, scientific discoveries, language, versus some important indigenous languages, and there are still high de-grees of interculturalization. The Renaissance was called America, giving way to the Modern Age, incorporating gunpowder, the printing press, paper and the compass, on the part of Europe, thus succumbing the native civilizations. In general, we have reached this century with the same mentality that in our continent there is exchange, following the pattern of Columbus.
