Reflection on Christopher Columbus

 During our class we had a discussion about Christopher Columbus and we were debating if this man is really a hero or not. Hero is any person admired for courage, and nobility. We must think about this definition to decide whether Christopher Columbus is a hero or not. Nobility is a person that from nature is considered a good person. Courage is the quality of mind or spirit that enables a person to face difficulty, danger, and pain without fear. With this two definition we can say that Christopher Columbus is not really a hero. This man was a very bad leader in our island. He was the man who really put our Indians as slave and at the end the Indians didn’t survive. Some people consider him a hero because he found our island, but if we go back through history we can see that what he did was put our ancestors as slave. He did not do anything of nobility nor courage. In my opinion this man really is not a hero because for me a hero is someone who has done good things in society and has lived for others and don’t think for himself. The only thing that we can consider that Columbus did was that he was lucky to find islands in his journey.
