The American Indian Minority Student.
[ send me this paper ]
(36 pp). Although the motivating question for this discussion was to examine those factors, which motivate minority students, in choosing to look at American Indian students, I was surprised that I could not isolate "motivating factors" for this minority group. It seemed illogical that any given group would be too small for motivation. Then I began to wonder if the idea of "motivation" is in accurate. What if motivation is a cultural assumption that does not apply to this minority group? If that is true, than a "western" definition of motivation would be applied to a group of people, for whom the concept was or is erroneous, and it would appear that the group would be then doomed to fail, in relationship to that definition. That is not to say that certain individuals might be self-motivated, or motivated by a relative. However as a group generality, that did not seem to be the case. The author continues to look at motivation in a cultural light in reference to educational needs. Bibliography lists 20 sources.

The Aztecs and Cortez’s Spanish Conquistadors: Conquest or Colonization?
[ send me this paper ]
A 28 page overview of the Spanish conquest and colonization of the Aztec people of central Mexico. Emphasizes the radical differences in cultural viewpoints between these two people, particularly their differences in regard to the use of natural resources. Notes that despite the obvious atrocities committed by Spain, and by men like Hernando Cortez in particular, many still question whether Cortez conquered the Aztecs or whether the events which unfolded were simply a matter of Spain colonizing Mexico. Concludes that not only did Cortez actually conquer the Aztec, he did so in an exceedingly cruel and relentless manner and he did so under the guise of colonization. Bibliography lists 24 sources.
