Monuments are historic structures erect for the sole purpose of honoring past events or people. They are all over the world in many shapes and sizes and you do not have to look far to find one. Though there are some factors a group or agency should take into account before constructing a monument. Some guidlines a group or agency should go by are one, it should be a positive morally correct event they are trying to memorialize. Also it should be there for the sole purpose of remembering someone or something. Finally the location of the monument should be taken into account. In history the good tends to overshadow the bad. And thats the case for Christopher Columbus. In source B there is a picture of a monument of christopher columbus in riverside
