Ferdinand Magellan was a Portuguese explorer born in circa 1480. He didn't just want to set sail and explore, but wanted him and his crew to be the first people to circumnavigate. Circumnavigating is traveling or sailing across something (especially the world). This idea of circumnavigation had a positive impact on the world due to its influence on other sailors alive during the time. Circumnavigation possibly led to people discovering more parts of the world not aware of their existence. Not only did Ferdinand sail for glory but for god as well. He was setting sail and dropped his anchor among a island off of the Philippines called Cebu. Ferdinand Magellan started to pursue the spreading of Christianity in the Philippines. Most of the natives accepted this religion but also some didn't. This had a negative impact on the Portuguese because when Ferdinand met with the Chief of Cebu, who later converted to Christianity, he persuaded the Europeans to help him conquer a rival with another tribe. This tribe eventually shot him with a poisonous arrow which led to his passing on April 27, 1521. His crew members of 270 men set sail to go back home and arrived after a year on September 1522.

Ferdinand Magellan affected a lot of people positively and negatively. One way that Ferdinand affected others is he killed a lot of people. Magellan murdered many innocent Native Americans. When European set sail in another country, they did their absolute best to kill, displace, or remove the Natives from their new claimed land. The government would create false treaties and categorized people into reservations. This was impacted others negatively because it lowered the population by 90%. Not only was this from killing but from diseases. Europeans brought over deadly germs and disease which Natives were susceptible to. This declined the Native population severely. The impact of this was negative because many lives were lost and the majority of the original people to the country were deceased. Lastly, Magellan was being the first person to successfully circumnavigate. This could've opened many doors for other sailors who looked up to him to possibly go farther and create a new record. This positively impacted the world because this lead to many other sailors completing a lot of new tasks and setting of new goals.

Natives' and Explorers points of views are very different. When Ferdinand and his crew landed ashore on the Island of Cebu, they probably weren't aware of the people living there. Due to foreign people entering their land who spoke of a different tongue, it's very understandable as to why they went to war with Ferdinand and his group. The people of Cebu eventually killed Ferdinand in battle shooting him with a poisonous arrow. This may seem extreme but here's the point of view of the natives of Cebu. The point of view of the Filipinos are different from Ferdinand and his crew and here are a few reasons why. One of the reasons being that they saw a lot of large unexpected ships coming to their shore. The people on the ships didn't look like them, speak the same language as them, etc. As we know, this resulted in Ferdinand being killed and his crew having to return by themselves back to Portugal. The crew took a year to finally return back home.

When indulging in the act of exploring and sailing, many things are left behind and taken back to the homeland. Ferdinand Magellan for example left behind many things but here are a few. When Magellan went to explore and landed in the Island of Cebu, he left behind Christianity. This had a huge impact because to this day, more than 80% of the Filipino population is of Christian faith. This affected the people of the Philippines because their way of life changed due to a change in religion.On the other hand, Magellan took many things with him from the Philippines such as spices, silk, and plastic toys. The gathering of these items affected the country of Portugal because they now have resources they may have not known existed. Silk for clothes, spices for food, and even toys for the kids impacted the country. They may have some new cultural clothing, delicious meals, and tiny toys for everyone.

With exploration comes many things good and bad. New land, resources etc. But one thing that had both good and bad impacts is colonization. Colonization is the act of settling among foreign land of an indigenous area. Colonization had drastic effects on the environment, native, and the colonizers themselves. One of the most popular effects of colonization is the spread of disease. The diseases brought over by the colonizers, the natives were more susceptible to which is a large factor in the drop of the Native American population. This effect had a negative impact due to the amount of lives lost. Many natives lost their parents, siblings, friends etc. Another effect of colonization is the severe state the colonizers put the environment in. This includes deforestation and depleting the nutrients native to the soil. Many animals died due to this because the crops were killed leaving the animals with little to no food. For example, England came over to America and brought many of their livestock over. They overgrazed their animals leaving no more grazeable plants and little to no resources. Lastly, an impact of colonization is the economy. A handful of countries who were recently in bad shape with little to no economy were fixed by colonizers. For example, Africa. When Africa was colonized, their economy highered. This had a positive impact because their economy now is much better and many of the natives have much better job opportunities and overall better life.
