How does ethnnocentricity cause conflict?

In Jan 26, 1788, the British fleet arrives and settle in a place which is today known as Sydney. When they have landed, they saw people that they have never seen before. Different from the British, these peoples were black they didn't wear cloth. There culture and laws and language were different from the British and therefore, they try to interact with each others and build relationship. British kidnaps Benolong who was the leader of tribes living in Sydney. British try to change his nature to British style, but unfortunately, they failed to change his nature and his own culture. Soon the British started to call him and the First Australian as unchangeable animals and this thinking lead British and the First Australian to ethnocentric. Even though the relationship between British and First Australian seems smooth, many British could not stop thinking that native were savage and cruel. This point of view form British made them think that the native is animals and it is OK for the British to take over their land. They soon started to take over aboriginals land and claim that is British land, including where they raise their crops to diminish aboriginals. The ethnocentric views from British and aboriginals cause conflict between these two groups and this conflict lead British had control over Australia and aboriginals were force to move away from their land.

Act two, scene 3
Artemidorus: Caesar, beware of Brutus;take heed of Cassius;
come not near Casca; have an eye to Cinna; trust not
Trebonius; mark well Metellus imber; Decius Brutus loves thee not; thou hast wrond'd Caius Ligarius. There is but one
mind in all these men, and it is bent against Caesar. If thou
beest not immortal, look about yo: security gives way to
conspiracy. The mighty gods defend thee! Thy lover,
Artemidourus.
Here will i stand till Caesar pass along,
And as a suiter will i give him this.
My heart laments that virtue cannot livego
out of the teeth of emulation.
If thou read this, O Caesar, thou may'st live:
It thu, the Fates with traitor do contrive.

This painting reflect what was happening in the Renaissance. The scientific instrument like globs and a polyhedral sundial have reflected circumstance during the Renaissance. By looking at the glob, we can assume that there were lots of exploration going on in this time. And more there are exploration, the more they can get knowledge and products from other world. The musical instrument represent that the music were important in this period Carpet on the upper shelf including various testicles were seems an example of oriental carpet.

Driving force in the Renaissance


September 27

Guilds

"Which one driving force do you think was the most crucial in creating the Renaissance's explosion of ideas? Why?

Renaissance started from 14 century till 16 century. The Renaissance started in Italy where there was left over of Roman emiper. Renaissance was a time period when the exploration, new discovery and international trading was actively going on. Guild was the most important driving force at that time. Guild were a group where technical engineer and who are rich were joined. The Guilds made product that it can be used for trading. The trading brought their city wealth and money. The city used the money to develop their city. Money could also could be use to banking. Peoples who were in guild could also join to rule the city . For this reason, i think the Guild was the driving force in the Renaissance.
