Best Answer

Because it is. The country was settled by English and European settlers. They brought with them their culture and world views. Even the maps made were euro centric until recently. If you look you will notice in old world maps that North America and Europe are larger in land size than South America and Africa That is no mistake, it is a world view. The white American views of the world discounts the views of people of color and the accomplishments that they have made in the history of the country.

What are the Euro-centric views on African societies?

Eurocentric views on African societies are ones of lies and manipulation. Normally people who are Eurocentric discount or disfranchise the African people and their inventions and or innovations. They also look down on their culture as well, thinking that it is primitive, when in reality almost everything you see around you has been influenced either subtly or blatantly by their culture and history.


Why can Mormonism be described as pushing against the currents of American society?

Mormonism, along with many other conservative Christian groups, are seen as 'pushing against the currents of American society' because they do not approve of the direction they perceive that society is going. Things such as adultery, immorality, immodesty, drunkenness, drug use, and dishonesty are becoming very common, accepted, and sometimes even praised in American society. Conservative Christian groups, including Mormons, see this as unbiblical and against the will of God. They believe that it is their duty to God to stand up for Biblical principles by resisting and even fighting against the direction that American society is heading.

I have 5 silver dollars in the historic morgan silver dollar collection that i have had for years . certificate of authenticity by the american historic society... is my cc morgan dollar uncirculate?

You will have to take the coin to a collector or coin dealer so someone can see it. Just because it is from The American Historic Society does not mean it's a Mint State coin. I have seen many coin sets from this society, so don't be surprised if they are not uncirculated coins.
