Wrong actions can negatively affect your surroundings and can clearly have profound effects on people, animals, or nature. One of the examples that led to the destruction of culture and nature is colonization. Colonization is the mistreatment of a weak country by a powerful country, which moves its population to the territory of interest and exercises the power to govern over the people and land. Some of the colonizations that occurred ended up eradicating people's spiritual and religious beliefs and replacing them with their own. Instead of destroying other people's beliefs, the colonizers should have practiced spiritual syncretism. Spiritual syncretism, also known as spiritual hybridity, is the cultural mixing of spiritual and religious beliefs. This happens when the colonized do not want to lose all their beliefs and customs, and instead choose to mix them with the beliefs of the colonizers. An example of this is in Latin culture, where Catholic saints and African tribal deities are revered as the same entity. In this essay I will argue that the way European colonizers eradicated the worldview of Native Americans and forcibly converted them to their beliefs was unjust. I will also argue that spiritual hybridization is a better solution than eradicating other people's beliefs. During the European expedition to America, they established colonies in North America that attracted thousands of settlers. The Europeans tried to get rid of the Native Americans to get what they wanted, namely economic wealth, land ownership, slave trade, real estate, and tobacco. M. Zylstra writes about the “colonization of history,” the hybridization of history, and what the colonization of indigenous people by Europeans brought about. Zylstra states.Euro......half of paper......of all countries. Disagreements between countries should be handled tactfully so as to avoid wars and subsequent occupation. The United Nations should have more powers to implement the resolutions passed. The spread of democracy should be encouraged so that different sovereign governments can address problems amicably.
