Education is or at least should be one of the most important matters for all countries. United states and Cuba have very different systems of education, and both have different results. United States of America is a capitalist country, contrary to Cuba that is socialist. In U.S the country runs on business, and education is another one of those business. Also in United states, public and private institutions exist, but at the end college and universities are expensive, even for the exam that you have to take to get into higher education schools, you have to pay money. Then you must pay lots of money for tuition, books, transportation, etc. For example, attending to FIU, one of Miami’s most popular university, is about 25000 a year. Including

Overall, Cuba has a unique government that for the most part, keeps all the citizens happy. Sports and education are two of the many things that are important to Cubans. Children in Cuba, ages six to fourteen, are required to go to school. Education, including universities, are free to Cubans.
Miami Florida has the biggest Latin population than any other city in the United States. The majority of Latin's being of Cuban descent. Since the Cuban revolution there have been constant waves of immigrating Cubans to Miami. The result has been a Cuban American society that has created culture diversity within. In order to understand the Cuban American culture you must understand its ethnic origin, politics, and the varying times of immigration.
Have you ever thought of the people who move to America from other countries with poor conditions and wonder what their education must have been like? People from other countries are not able to receive the education they need in order to be able to go and improve their lives in order to have a better life for themselves and for their future families that could possibly have one day. When children are forced to move from other countries to America they take longer in order to be able to grasp the education skills they are being taught since not everyone learns they same they are forced to have to be able to learn new ways of education. Education in third world countries have improved over the years, but there are still flaws to the system while
In the early 1900’s, Cuba was a stomping ground for many of the rich and famous from the United States. Many famous movies stars and wealthy business entrepreneurs spend their vacations there along with a substantial amount of money. Trade and commerce between the United States and Cuba flowed freely and abundantly. Even with the Dictatorship-like regime of Batista, the countries benefited from the economic trade between them. This was all about to come crashing down as revolts against Batista occurred and Fidel Castro came to power within Cuba.
The United States is known for being one of the greatest and strongest countries in the world looking at past events and in this day and age. What might strike some people as shocking is that the U.S. would not be as strong without close ties with other countries or allies. Examples would be France, England, and Canada, plus many more. What people don’t talk about is the U.S.’s rivals or countries that the U.S. has had trouble with in the past leading up to now. One of the most renowned countries is only ninety miles away from the southern tip of Florida and that is Cuba. Cuba is known for the fantastic beaches, some of the most well-known baseball players around, and, of course, Cuban cigars and rum. But, the past with Cuba is not as bright as the U.S. wants it to be because of historical events such as the embargo, the Bay of Pigs, and the Cuban missile crisis during World War II that caused the two countries to separate as allies and close tied nations. Over the past year the U.S. and Cuba have been trying to put the past behind them and have diplomatic and cultural relations once again.
From the time, Fidel Castro came to power in Cuba tensions ran high between the Cuban government and the United States government. Relations between Cuba and the United States grew during Eisenhower and Kennedy administrations. Not as much during the Eisenhower administration as the Kennedy administration did tensions between between the two countries intensify. Kennedy faced many a different situations as President. He faced such situations like the Bay of Pigs Invasion and the Cuban Missile Crisis. Tensions have mounted high for a long time between Cuba and the United States.
The Cuban revolution had great domestic and international influences and reshaped Cuba’s relationship with the world, especially with United States, which continues an embargo against Cuba as of this very day. Immediately after the revolution, Cuban government started a program of nationalization and political consolidation, which ultimately transformed Cuba’s economy and society.
The biggest differences between Cuba and the United States are the government and economic status. The United States has a democracy where as Cuba has a dictatorship. Cuba is one of the poorest countries in the world and yet the U.S. is one of the most powerful countries in the world. The U.S. sets the standards for other industrial nations, however Cuba does all that it can with their national resources and aid from other countries.
Education is one of the strongest building blocks of a nation. The United States offers may opportunities for individuals who would like to further their knowledge and become professionals in what they do. Education can start as low as Pre-K to getting your PhD. Access to education in the U.S. is very abundant. Not only do they offer public schools but they offer online course and even classes for students with disabilities. The U.S. continuously urges individuals to attend and complete school. In Haiti education is much harder to acquire. Most schools in Haiti are private schools with tuition costs which, along with transportation, uniform and supplies are too expensive for some parents. Many children drop out after primary school, and half of the children do even not attend school (World Bank 2013). The literacy rate is between 55-65% in Haiti and that is because the teacher does lack basic qualifications.
So, for example, all 8th graders would wear green or blue etc; and all 9th graders would wear white, red, purple, etc. Even though it may seem hard to believe, in 1959, most Cubans that lived in rural areas didn’t have more than a third grade education. Some even had less than that, until the Cuban Revolution. After the Cuban Revolution, the government wanted to reconstruct the education system. In fact, it was their top priority. With the new government, elementary school was more important and more available for children. Once they were done with that, they set out to teach Cubans how to read. The whole country faced that problem. Over 800 literacy centers were opened by 1959 according to Wikipedia. Also, children living in poverty could now get a free education because of the government’s actions.
As I stepped off the gargantuan, snow white cruise ship, I gazed at a colorful sea of retro-style cars zipping through the narrow streets littered with potholes. The day I had been anticipating and fearing was finally here. I was in Cuba. The customs office at the end of the ship terminal was institutional looking, with stark white walls and bright lighting. Eventually, my family left customs and officially entered Cuba. Before meeting our tour guide, we located a restroom. Outside, there was a rugged and dirty looking man selling toilet paper to American tourists, who forgot their own roll. However, the cruise line had forewarned us, so we bypassed him.
After the revolution, health care and education improved enormously. While before the revolution only 30% of rural children had teachers, primary education became compulsory under Castro. However the education was often biased, and information which would undermine Castro’s regime was not taught, and was also kept out of the media, books and newspapers. Half a million Cubans fled Cuba to work in America, and appeared to enjoy a much better life there. The
I gleaned from the lecture concerning, the theory of “Recapitulation” in Christ expresses that, “Christ “recapitulates” the history of Adam, except he succeeds at every point at which Adam failed. Thus Adam’s disobedience is matched by Christ, obedience.” The theory of Christus Victor is also known as the “Satisfaction Theory”, suggest that the death of Christ was to be regarded as a sacrifice as the Lamb for the believers. These two theories compare one another in that God was both Human and divine. Also, “the unity of the creative and redemptive action of God, which is always Trinitarian: The father does all things by the Word in the Holy. I agree that Christ is the new Adam, “salvation is understood essentially in terms of participation in and communion with the deified humanity of the incarnate, the New Adam, I totally agree with this theory, God wanted to communion with us and because of the first Adam sin, he had to become man so we could
