There Goes the Neighborhood

In general, humans are greedy and a lot of them have superiority complexes. As a result, when two groups of people with different cultures meet there will normally be fights. These fights would enable the winning group to claim that their group was the one in the right, that the opponents’ gods either didn’t exist or had turned their back(s) on their followers, and that their group had received god's protection. If the two groups end up not fighting they will most likely trade. An example of an interaction between two groups is when the Europeans journeyed to the Americas. On this venture into the unknown the Europeans meet different, but welcoming Native American tribes. Unfortunately for the Native Americans interacting with the Europeans had no benefits for them. When trading with the Europeans, the Native Americans would give things of value in large quantity while they would only be given a small amount of the unneeded items that the Europeans had laying around. In addition, the Europeans gave the Native Americans diseases that they weren't immune to. As a result of the transmission of illnesses it is thought that an estimated amount of 90% of the Native Americans died.
