In what ways is Diaz's account colored by his own preconceptions and beliefs as a European in a foreign land.
The account of Bernal Diaz del Castillo who was a conquistador that arrived in Mexico and New Spain in the time era of 1519-1520 and 1632 respectively shows some obvious preconceptions about his beliefs as a European in a foreign land.
One of the major preconceptions that was immediately visible in Bernal Diaz del Castillo's account was his thought that Mexico was a poor place based on the reports of previous explorers.
This refers to the bias or already existing thoughts and beliefs about a place, before even experiencing it and this is a form of bias.
