Blog #2 response to Ian Felten 

I really agree with what you have to say, Ian. I mean if the Europeans are as modern/civilized as they claimed to have been they should have been looking out for their fellow human beings. They were so caught up in the what separated their two societies, which was simply their lifestyle, that it prevented them from helping the Gauchos. What the Europeans forgot though, and even what people today seem to forget, is that we are still all people who even though do not all live the same way, should be able to get together and help each other out when it is needed. This, in my opinion, should always be the overriding factor when it comes to helping people out, the fact that we are all humans, the way we differ from one another shouldn't be an issue when it comes to the way we treat other human beings. And that fact should always be kept in mind regardless of what time we live in.
