Free trade agreements in the Americas are not new. There are a couple that have been around for a while namely the NAFTA between the United States, Canada and Mexico as well as the CAFTA that also includes the United States, Honduras, Nicaragua, Dominican Republic, Costa Rica and Guatemala. Of course, the FTAA, offering a free trade zone between the Americas would have spurred economic growth for both big and small countries alike. These were the reasons why governments were pushing for the FTAA to become a reality so that it would benefit one and all in the form ...

The Documents

The Declaration of Independence Among the founding documents of the American republic the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States share primacy. First in time was the Declaration of Independence. Prepared by the Continental Congress over a year after the American Revolution had started with the battles at Lexington and Concord in April, 1775, the Declaration was silent on the question of religious freedom. In Jefferson’s words, which still ring down across almost two and a half centuries, the Declaration is firmly based on the “Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God” and, of ...

The first painting is referred to as the Manner of Their Attire and Painting Themselves was created by John White, who was known as an artist, a map maker, and the first British artist in the Americas, and to paint Native Americans. This painting depicted what looked like an elderly Native American male wearing nothing but a cloth around his waist and paint all over his skin. Not only was White the local artist, but he was also the Governor of the Roanoke Colony, which raises question if his depiction ...

Introduction

In the 1800’s the European countries undertook an initiative to colonize different countries across the globe. The American states were not left behind in this quest by the European nations and as a result, their eagerness to colonize the American states faced opposition. This opposition led to the emergence of the Monroe doctrine in 1823 and it made provision that any effort by the European states to colonize any independent American state would be viewed as manifestation of unfriendly doctrine by the European states. It is important to note that the main reason for the emergence of this ...

Question I:

The use of social categories to rationalizing or justifying the treatment of one group over another In America before the 1880, social categories were the norm. They found use in rationalizing and justifying the treatment of one group over another. An excellent example of this is evident in slavery, as well as, the slave trade that thrived during this period. Social categories were used to justify the need for Africans drawn from Africa into the new world. It is estimated that about 10 to 11 million African slaves were drawn from Africa and brought to the new world in ...

Multiple factors went into play before the Europeans claimed dominance over world trade routes and conquered vast lands outside Europe. With a particular interest in the fact that the Chinese boasted better navigation tools and sea vessels than the Portuguese and the Spanish did by the fifteenth century (World Shrinks17mins), the rise of the West benefited greatly from the lack of competition. In other words, if the Chinese had maintained their desire to show their military prowess to other nations, then the West would have taken longer if not failed to come into power. A view of the animated ...

I. Introduction A corporation is a common type of business organization in which its owners have the ability to use it as a separate, and distinct legal entity.

The core values St. Leo’s represents is applicable to the debate surrounding the ACA. St. Leo represents and firmly believes in community and integrity. The ACA is reportedly designed to provide for the welfare of the community, meaning Americans at large. The issue surrounding the ACA is that many say the provisions lack integrity due to various different reasons. Regardless of these issues, integrity is often defined as doing the right thing, even when no one is watching. World leaders and policy makers have a responsibility to maintain integrity to benefit the communities in which they live, whether ...

Europe’s history, especially in the colonial and imperial periods created new connections and networks between parts of the world. European expansion starting the in the sixteenth century led to its expansion into the Americas and the concurrent creation of the slave trade of entirely new populations in the imperial periphery. Additionally, in the nineteenth century with the so-called “Scramble for Africa” meant that Europe had new colonies on the continent itself. With the process of decolonization this meant that these populations both from the Americas especially the Caribbean could migrate into the European metropole. This created an African ...

Abstract

Over thirty years after its identification, HIV and AIDS remains a somewhat elusive virus, particularly when it comes to its history as a human infectious agent, and resourcing a complete epidemiology of the disease. Part of the problem is that so many antiretroviral drugs have come out and have either been used or prescribed incorrectly. In addition, the virus, like many other reverse RNA transcriptase viruses, has a very high aptitude in terms of developing resistance to drugs at a very rapid rate. What further complicates matters is how quickly it has spread. It will probably never truly be ...

Industrial Revolution

The industrial revolution is deemed to be the main breakthrough in the process of human's development. Since exactly humans were behind the progress achieved in the fields of "agriculture, textile and metal manufacture, transportation, economic policies and the social structure in England"; in fact, England is the birthplace of the industrial revolution, the changes inflicted by the revolution Britons experienced it firsthand. Lately, the industrial revolution was spread across Europe and Americas (Montagna).

English 111-MJI07

Experience and the law of economics prove that where there is demand, there will always be a supply. For this reason, among others, prohibition will not solve the drug problem in the United States. The prohibition of harmful substances has already been attempted in the United States, and has already shown to be ineffective in the past century. This was the case with alcohol. People, who wanted to get the coveted drink, found a way to get it (Doremus and Canet 4). Of course, in order to buy alcohol, which was not recognized legally, people went to the underground ...

Ecological Imperialism in New England

Abstract: In 1492, Christopher Columbus landed in “the New World” and marked the beginnings of its extensive colonization. When European settlers arrived in the Americas, they brought with them their cultural values and began to adapt American land to their needs. Those days started ecological imperialism; “wilderness” of the Indian nature was disturbed. European settlers intervened the setting and brought significant changes in flora and fauna as well as the habitual way of living of Native Americans. This paper reveals the long-term consequences of English ecological imperialism in New England and ecological changes brought by European settlers. The main ...

In April 1898, the United States of America declared war on Spain. It lasted less than four months but resulted in the American victory and the completely new vision of the American position in the world. The 1898 Treaty of Paris brought Americans Puerto Rico, Philippines, Guam, the control over Cuba, and the expansion of U.S. power in both Americas. However, the official justifications for the beginning of the war seem to be contradictory with the main principles of the American foreign policies. This paper aims to discuss events preceding Spanish-American war. How did the United States justify its ...

Human Rights for Orphans and Abandoned Children without Adequate Care

The issue of human rights of children is regulated by the Convention on the Rights of the Child with its Protocols. They refer to the protection of a child, prohibition of child labor and other issues that are fundamentally important and protect children’s dignity. However, some categories of children require special attention and care with this respect. The human rights of orphans and abandoned children constitute a specific issue, as they have fewer chances to be protected by parents and relatives. Therefore, as a violation of their rights may seem easier, these children need more legal protection. The ...

Drug abuse is a serious issue that plagues our society. Every age group has a fair share of drug users. However, according to the survey conducted by U.S Department of Health and Human Services, teenagers and young adults are two of the biggest culprits - 15.8% of people aged 16-17 and 22.6% of people aged 18-20 use drugs. The use of illicit substances by teenagers is caused by the fact that there’s no regulation of drugs like marijuana. A drug dealer isn’t going to check a person’s ID when he conducts a deal. Additionally, teenagers who ...

Life without the very basic necessities like water, food and electricity seems like a myth to the residents of America, and we all hope that we do not live to see a day when that happens to our country. For some unfortunate countries, however, the situation is not that massive of a myth rather these shortages are parts of the problems that the people of Venezuela face in their everyday lives. Right now, the country of 30 million people has become one of the worst examples that may be set for the people of the world to follow. But ...

Introduction

The Zika virus causes an illness known as Zika virus disease (Zika). The transmission of Zika virus occurs via the bite of an Aedes mosquito that is infected (CDC, 2016). Zika belongs to the genre Flavivirus and the WHO (2015) has identified it as “an emerging mosquito-borne virus.” The virus causes a mild illness that lasts a few days to a week (CDC, 2016; WHO, 2016). Thus, many people with the disease do not seek medical help. However, the greatest concern associated with Zika is microcephaly. This birth defect results from a Zika infection during pregnancy.

After reading the article of Stearns that is titled Why Study History, answering the question ‘Why is it important to study history?’ seems very easy for me. I believe that history is the biggest treasure the society possesses. Moreover, if people study history, they develop many skills, which will be useful in future life and at work. Many employees are eager to hire history graduates, as they have various well-developed abilities. For example, history students can assess evidence and conflicting interpretations. Due to these abilities, people who study history can through past events understand and evaluate changes in the ...

Translation science can be defined as a branch of science which aims to develop various interventions and programs that can help improve the health of human beings using the “bench to bedside” approach (Wagner and Kroetz, 2016). The translation science project which will be discussed in this paper is mainly focused on the effect of the implementation of a vaccination screening program on the vaccination rates of elderly Hispanic population aged between 65 and 90 years old in a Community Health setting in Miami-Dade area. Currently, there are numerous evidences that can support the need for various interventions and ...

Over centuries, white supremacy always put domination on those who were fair-skinned than those who were black. There was white privilege that put the white ones ahead in freedom, opportunities and rights to the point that the black ones were left behind to be treated more as slaves, mainly because they lacked the higher value of having white skin color. This was the dehumanization of African peoples even in the United States, in which they were reduced to the status of a chattel just for the sake of enslavement, as well as, economic exploitation. There was white supremacy for ...

The discovery of the “New World” the Americas by Christopher Columbus in 1492 was one of the most momentous moments in world history. It went far past what we take for granted, the opening of an entire new section of the world map for European conquest. Although that is an important fact about Columbus’ historical contribution it certainly isn’t the only one. The discovery of the Americas created an Atlantic world and new forms of exchange therein. The Columbian exchange, the trading of many things from the New World to the Old – Africa and Europe – is what’s ...

Introduction

Both Judith Carney and Rafael Marquese examine the contribution of African Slaves in the development and production of specific cash crops. Carney believes that the production of Rice in South Carolina is as a result of diffusion of agricultural culture from Africa to Americas. She argues that rice production was the culture of the West Africans far before the Portuguese explorers reached Africa in in the 14th century. Rice was the staple food among most of the West African communities. They used the mangrove swamps to create paddies and used canal irrigation to water the rice. The same methodology ...

Slavery existed in the Americas from the early colonial days and its rapid rise was observed in the XVIII-XIX centuries in Brazil, the Caribbean and the British and French colonies in Northern America when the world trade was actively growing and there was a shortage of labor. The major countries in Europe were able to turn the slave trade into a very profitable business. At first the Portuguese and later the Dutch and the English began to export slaves from the West African coast to the different destinations in the New World. The Middle Passage became a vital part ...

Francisco de Vitoria: On the American Indians

First Level Analysis Francisco de Vitoria was a theologian who wrote during the time of the Spanish conquest of the Americas. In his political treatise entitled On The American Indians, he suggests the Spanish should question by what right they have subjected the “barbarians” to their rule. Indeed, de Vitoria is immensely focused on investigating the political power of the Spanish in the New World, and in this particular passage, he determines that the barbarians that the Spanish have conquered in the New World should not be ruled under the dominion of the Spanish. He likens these people to ...

While many academics debate ethical topics such as anthropological research, the modern day tribal members face more pressing issues, many of them economic. An important component of modern first peoples economic rights include the 1988 Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, which Congress enacted in order to control the way in which the National Indian Gaming Commission conducts business. Even though the Oneida of the twentieth and twenty-first century are separated from their relatives in central New York, Iroquois and others, the Oneida are included in discussions about gaming and economics with these and others who are connected to the nations ...

Ever since attaining its independence from Portugal on September 7, 1822, Brazil has seldom enjoyed any prolonged spell as a true democracy. In fact, Brazil’s longest period as a truly democratic state began a few years ago in 1985 after transitioning from a military government. The period after independence has been dotted with a monarchy; which was one of the few in the Americas, and a series of military coups that the country became synonymous with in the 20th century. A multiplicity of both domestic and external factors coalesced to create political instability in the country with a ...

Proper implementation of policies is essential in the development of any nation, group or organization. In fact, lack thereof compromises the possibility of a unit succeeding in its endeavors. As such, it is imperative to establish proper methodologies in dealing with the enactment of policies to foster development (Peterson and Manuel 193). With this in mind, it is worth mentioning the role of the liberalists in the elaboration of the Latin Americas. Precisely, the Christian Democrats have undergone multiple challenges over the years to secure the welfare of their policies in the political system. The ideologies upheld by this ...

The Writings of Hernan Cortes and Bartolome de las Casas

The Writings of Hernan Cortes and Bartolome de las Casas In the half-century following Christopher Columbus’ arrival in the so-called “New World” of the Western Hemisphere, millions of indigenous peoples were slaughtered, hundreds of villages had been destroyed, and a hundred-year-old empire had fallen. Though all of these events took place at the hands of Spanish conquistadors, contemporary narratives of this tragic moment in history vary. In the early sixteenth century writings of Hernan Cortes and Bartolome de las Cases, two divergent views of the native population of the Americas and the justification for Spanish conquest emerge. This paper ...

Slavery, Industrialization, and the Origins of Modern Consumer Culture

Industrialization was a pivotal moment in the creation of modern society. It can be considered a turning point for the modern world and the era that truly defined how the rest of the future of the world was going to play out. The Industrial Revolution introduced capitalism and mass production, which drive the current economy and have remained vital to the American, and global, infrastructure. This era of industrialized progress and prosperity began with the institution of slavery and the implementation of production within the major world powers, including Britain, France, and Spain. It later spread to countries all ...

Unemployment in America has been a cause of great economic concern for the government and people of America.

Summaries of three articles that appeared in the leading publications are given below in the attempt to shortlist the reasons behind the dwindling unemployment rate and the reasons behind the present economic condition that has made it difficult for the researchers and the government level stakeholders to predict the movement of the economy for ...

Slavery, which the South frequently referred to as its “peculiar institution,” had an enormous impact on American history. Even after 1863 and the abolition of slavery through the Emancipation Proclamation, as well as the 1865 passage of the 13th amendment to the Constitution, slavery continued to have lasting effects on the American people for decades to come. The beginnings of African slavery go all the way back to the first British settlements in North America. However, it was the division of former British colonies into slave states in the South and free states in the North that laid the ...

During the time of the conquistadores, exploration was based on a very specific set of needs: the need to expand the empire, to seek out wealth, and to gain glory. The conquistadores landed in the New World with weaponry far beyond the scope of anything that the Amerindians had ever seen before; the diseases they brought were also far beyond the diseases that the Amerindians had ever experienced. It was easy for the conquistadores to issue a proclamation that demanded adherence to a strict set of rules; if the Amerindians failed to comply, they would be subject to enslavement ...

The forcible removal and transportation of millions of African men and women to the Americas took place for over three centuries starting in the mid 1400’s and ending in the late 1800’s. The importation and enslavement of Africans resulted in great economic growth as well as a resettling of the American Continents. An estimated 6.5 million people came to the Western Hemisphere. 83 percent of the people arriving were African slaves. The slave trade sets the precedence for capitalism. This was because the labor of the slaves generated great wealth for businesses in America and Europe. The ...

2.11 Modern imperialism and economic globalization Economic globalization refers to increased instances of integration and interdependence among various national economies of the world. While the phenomenon has grown over the years as a result of deliberate government actions such as trade deals, the idea has its origins in the era of colonization by the world powers from the beginning of the sixteenth to the twentieth centuries. The effects of imperialism on the global economy continue to be felt until today. It is therefore important to have some background on imperialism. Imperialism was initially a project of a few European ...
