This reflects the Spanish worldview in that they show humanism because
they want to expand their knowledge in a unique form of art
The rapiers didnt just play a significant role in Spain but also
against the Aztecs. The rapiers sharp and flexible build proved to be quite
deadly in close combat. Also, since it was a thrusting weapon, it was easy
to use while on a horse. This portrays the strong war based worldview of
the Spanish. Also, the fact that these weapons helped them conquer the
Aztecs it contributed to their ethnocentric worldview and their
imperialistic worldview. In conclusion this is how the rapier contributes to
the Spanish and represents their worldview.
SPANISH+AZTEC ARTIFACT: CALAVERAS
MODERN TIMES
A variation of the sugar skull is the clay skulls. These were usually given
as gifts to children and were painted a silvery color.
Literary Calaveras are a little bit different than the other ones.
They are stories or poems written in a very special way. They are written
in a way that humorously criticize the living or that remind people of the
inevitability of death. These are usually written on October 31. Literary
Calaveras are almost always written in an ironic tone. Starting in the
1700s, Mestizos began writing literature that resembled the literary
Calaveras to express their feelings to the government.
