But the story about Atahualpa was not the main "theme" of this chapter, and I did not intend to provide a comprehensive analysis of European-Indian relationships. It was more like a passing thought because of a visit to a particular site.
Yes, you are right, I am looking at the world "through a single lens", but that is exactly my point -- I am looking at the world, during a trip, from my own perspective only, and I am sharing it with other people. Other people can form their own observations and viewpoints. In my opinion, it is okay for oen to have a "limited" or "narrow" view; however oen should strive to not to be "biased" (if I was "biased", then I would be very concerned).
Thank you so much for your input.
