I am sorry I could not upload the video. It kept telling me that the file was too big.

In week one, we learned about the history of the colonization of the Americas. I learned a lot of facts that they do not teach us at a younger age; it could possibly be because of the fact that history can be cruel and violent. We learned about the journey of Cabeza de Vaca. All the information that we learned in week one helps to understand the information in week 2.
History is always related. If we learn where we come from and our past, we can better understand our future. In week two, we learn about Latin History but through other eyes, not the type of information that we received at school at a younger age. In John Leguizamo’s show, a raw version of our history was presented. Facts that maybe we had never thought about. It was very fulfilling to learn details I did not know, like the Taínos. Learning about humanities, how humanities are the set of disciplines that help us understand the development of human beings throughout the ages and their social, political, and cultural differences linked to the different economic, geographical, and temporal situations.
I believe that all the content in both weeks does not contradict at all. I think that they complement very well.

I am having trouble uploading my video from my computer. I even videoed myself from my phone and my computer could not download the file. I apologize, and I will try to fix this issue before the next assignment.

Week 1, we touch on Christopher Columbus and what he did to the Natives. In all we learned the truth, I think he was a man that was driven by greed. In week 2, we learn about the aftereffects of week 1 and how we dealt with that as a community. I don't think any of the content contradicted each other as far as I know. One thing that was interesting to me in week 1 was learning about Cabeza de Vaca and his journey and history, he was someone I did not know about, so, learning about him was really interesting and intriguing. One thing I found interesting in week 2 was Professor's lecture when he stated that “Latinos are the second oldest Ethnic group in America," that was something I did not know. Learning more about my history and how everything started was a game changer because I now know the truth.

I couldn't get my computer to take a video, so I will write out my response.

Learning about Columbus on week one and how he actually landed on Hispaniola and not America was a great build up to this weeks information.
Even though we learned last week about the Americas being conquered by the Spaniards and how Cabeza de Vaca was one of four survivors and his journey, this week we had way more details about how everything happened and how that affects us now.
I didn't find any contradictions that I can think of at this time.
From week one, learning more about Cabeza de Vaca was extremely interesting to me. And both weeks were important in understanding how our people were exterminated and were not given credit for any of their inventions or contributions to this country.
