            These three ships represent Columbus’ discovery of the Americas. That event was one of the most influential moments in history, and it presents some unique concepts about learning and discovery. Columbus set out to reach Asia, but instead landed in America. Many people discredit his voyage because others, like the Vikings, had already known about the American continent. However, most Europeans still did not know about the Americas. Thus Columbus’ journey was still a discovery for many Europeans. When we learn, we are discovering truths that already exist. Natural laws are already in place, natural processes already work, and truth already exists. So discovery is the only kind of learning that we do. This is talked about third because after being ready to take action and overcome obstacles, this perception of what learning is can help a civilization get a better perspective of the learning process. It helps people see that the process of their learning will be discovering truths, no matter if others know them or not.
