Brown's view of human nature presents itself in past history through the adaptibility of human kind in accordance to their present enviornment. Present day shows us various types of immigrants who must adapt to a new country in order to survive. Many are able to survive in their new society without sacrificing their personal opinions, however many are lost in their 'new society'. Therefore they loose what once was their instinctive thoughts or beliefs. This assimalation into society has hit several road blocks in terms of general acceptance on behalf of the present citizens. For example we have the past immigration of Asian people whom have worked hard to be respected for retaining their customs while living in a new land, [|The Assimilation of the Asian race] However the Asian popluation were not the only people whom have struggled to assimilate themselves into a new country. People with different cultures come to America and, for better or worse, adopt new customs. Many of these people gain freedom at the expense of loosing their culture or identity. It ranges from [|The Assimalation of the Muslim culture]or of [|The Assimilation of Hispanic race], Overall as people from various nations immigrate to America, they must overcome personal hardships. [|General Immigrant Assimilation]

Cristopher columbus: thought to be crazy for thinking the earth was round, to ultimately be seens as a hero and the reason for the curiousity of the New World. History has shown us the many people whom were labeled as crazy, or histeric, yet time has revealed that he was not crazy, but were much more enlightened and courageous for his time. "the Kings of France and England thought **Columbus** was **crazy** and refused to help him make his voyage" As the human race adapts to different conditions the defintion of "normal" also changes, whether in terms of a man fighting against current views for overall advancements in expansion. Yet he did not give up or act in accordance to what kings told him,or what the majority of his society had come to believe. He pushed forward untill he obtained his goal.
