The document discusses the great voyages of discovery in the 1400s. It was motivated by a desire to find new trade routes to Asia to replace those controlled by Italy, Egypt, and Turkey. New technologies like the compass and astrolabe enabled long ocean voyages. Explorers like da Gama, Columbus, and Magellan made important voyages that opened sea routes around Africa and to the Americas. The Spanish then conquered the Aztec and Inca empires for their gold and silver and to spread Christianity. Competition for treasure led England and France to enter the race for new lands.

How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).

and Magellan set to find

and riches.
What motivated these
voyages?

Italian, Egyptian and Turkish control of trade

desired. The wish to spread Christianity also
played a role.

8. Portuguese and Spanish Explorations
In 1498 Vasco da Gama sailed around Africa
and landed on the West Coast of India. Thus a
direct sea route to Aisa was found.

9. In 1492, an Italian sailor, Christopher Columbus
sailed west. It was well known amongst seafarers
that the Earth was round and so Columbus hoped
to find a direct route to Asia. Instead he landed in
the what we now call the Bahamas.

In 1519, a Portuguese sailor named Ferdinand
Magellan accidentally discovered South America
while trying to sail around Africa. He continued
West and although was killed during the voyage,
his crew became the first to circumnavigate (go
all the way round) the globe.

12. Conquest of the New World
file:///home/pptfactory/temp/20120408182901/powerpointpictures/Inca.jpeg
In the 1500s the Aztec
empire in Mexico and
the Inca empire in Peru
were at their zenith.
The Spanish saw these
as great sources of
gold and silver. With
the added motivation of
religious conversion
they set out to conquer.

Pichu in Peru
13. Why did the Spanish conquests
succeed?
Guns: Gunpowder had not reached the
Americas.
Cavalry: The Americans had no horses and had
no knowledge of riding an animal.
Steel weapons: The American weapons (usually
made of obsidian) were no match for Spanish
steel.
Germs: diseases like smallpox wiped out huge
numbers of Americans who had no previous
exposure to these European diseases.

17. Conclusion: A new European
Worldview.
The voyages of discovery changed the way
Europeans saw the world. They learned that the
Americas were a separate landmass from Asia.
Many saw this as a source of great wealth and
set up trade networks and began to establish
colonies. This would have wide ranging
consequences.
18. Summary
The voyages were motivated by a need for new routes to Asia.
They were made possible by new technology: compass,
astrolabe, better ships.
Da Gama discovered a new route to India by sailing around
Africa.
Columbus discovered a route to the Caribbean islands unveiling
the continent of North America.
Magellan discovered South America before his crew rounded the
globe.
Better technology and resistance to disease helped the Spanish
conquer the new world.
Greed for treasure led to competition between European powers
like Spain and England.
