Source I

As a result of the strong emotions Columbus Day arouses, teachers across the
country are faced every year with the decision of whether to teach about Columbus
at all. Most come to the conclusion reached by John J. Patrick in the article Teaching
About the Voyages of Columbus. Patrick said,

"The voyage of Columbus in 1492 is a turning point in world history. After 1492,
peoples and civilizations of long-separated regions began to develop connections
that have led to the incipient global community of the 1990s. It is their global
significance that justifies a prominent place in today's school curriculum for the four
voyages of Columbus to the Western Hemisphere, not the mere fact of their 500th
anniversary in 1992 and thereafter. Educators, therefore, should use the Columbian
Quincentenary as a ripe time to renew and reform teaching and learning about these
events of long ago that still affect most peoples and places of our world today."

Source III

It seems that the new fundamentalism applies to the new global scene, as in the following
passage from the official organ of the Islamic Youth Movement in Malaysia (Angkatan Belia
Islem, Malaysia):

"Globalization" is showing itself to be "gobblisation" whereby the dominant western

economies might well swallow all of us, ending forever the myth of national
sovereignty and ridiculing the struggle of all Third World peoples to be the
determiners of their own lives. If "one world" is the coming reality, it must be a
peoples' world and not a world of masters and slaves.

— Gordon and Ali (1998, letter to the editor)
