The Silk Road events had a positive impact on our UN goal, no poverty. The Silk Road was a route that allowed for trade to happen. Through the Silk Road you were able to trade resources such as cash crops, valuables, and agriculture. The Silk Road also provided a sense of collective learning as well. With collective learning, it would allow our ancestors and descendants to evolve their knowledge. Collective learning and trade through the Silk Road helped to prevent poverty from expanding and happening for a while. On the other hand, colonization had a negative impact on our UN goal, no poverty. Colonization is the act of establishing control over the indigenous people of an area. Europeans colonized many different indigenous people and cultures. They brought things such as diseases which destroyed the indigenous populations. Colonization was harsh on the ecosystem as well. Before, the amount of resources you could provide, the wealthier you were. With colonization happening, it made the ecosystem and economy suffer causing indigenous people to start living in poverty.
