When two different communities or a community and a family come together, I believe the more influential party may engulf the other. This has happened numerous times during American history in which the second generation of immigrants assimilate to American culture because they're drained of their own culture. In a family, they may attempt to do what is best for them to fit in and you have to adapt to this new environment, is it safe to walk there? Who can't I look in the eye? I wonder what the other parents think of me?
Christopher Columbus has a similar case, he wanted to fuse the other people into his own culture and given Columbus' presence and the Native American's passivity it seemed like the right conditions for Columbus and his crew to engulf the Native Americans into his own religion - Christianity.
