Divergences In South America

Central and South America have many similarities and differences. Their governments, technology, environments, and culture compare and contrast in so many ways. Costa Rica, Guatemala, Argentina, Honduras, Chile, Venezuela, and Brazil are just a few of the places in Central and South America, but there was still so much to learn.

Latin America went from isolated to connected with the rest of the world during the time period 1450 to 1750 because of colonization by the Europeans. However, the economy, slavery, and the tribal systems stayed the same.

Scholars have referred to the South as “America with a difference”. This difference has tried to be defined by different historians, and it has produced various strains of the American South history. Therefore, the south has drawn various historians, novelists, and poets in the quest to define the central theme of the southern history. This has largely interested many scholars as the south was known to be settled by a different Englishman, its experience of poverty since it was a nation that only knew abundance and its loss in the civil war as it was known as a nation that always had success (Gerster and Cords 11). Some writers have tried to define the difference of southern America regarding its passion for agriculture and slavery.

The diversity of our world has been created by many explorers throughout history. Who were curious and eager to find riches for their countries and to colonize them. One of the most famous explorer known to this date is Christopher Columbus. He was an Italian explorer who got sponsored by the Spanish kind king Ferdinand I. Columbus initially wanted to travel to India and China to capture the spices, money and other valuable possessions. Yet he was unaware of the fact that in the way of India, and China he would encounter another vast piece of land known as the Americas. When he had landed in the Caribbean's he would unknowingly make huge changes which would effective us even to this date .Contrary if Columbus never landed in the Caribbean there would be many differences in present day South America. There would be many differences in modern day religions, culture, economics,

Latin American and Caribbean are one of the richest countries when it comes to natural resources. The natural resources that they have are some of the most useful ones in the world and that consists of gold, oil, iron, sugar and many more. World Bank stated that “Latin America produced around 80 percent of the world's silver in the 16th through 19th centuries, fueling the monetary systems of not only Europe, but China and India as well”. This shows that Latin America had so much natural resources that others depended on them. Since Latin America and the Caribbean has all of this resources, they need to develop their production and raise their GDP. Also there are no investments or any business in these countries to make use of the resources

Many of the many positive things Latin America is doing for its economy is Improving communication and transportation. This will cause the infrastructure to grow and eliminate trade barriers. Latin America is also passing laws to distribute farmland more fairly to the people as well as expanding their service industries. This will open up Latin America to more trade opportunities. In order to boost their economy,

Amid chaotic and drastic changes within Latin America, there is one country whose economy’s improvement has outshone the rest. According to a recent interview by CNN to the current vice president at Council of the Americas, it was possible to know that “Peru is currently Latin America’s fastest growing country”. Additionally, drastic reforms and innovative policies have fostered an environment that favours economic development. Although there is a lot left to do regarding public investment, the country has experienced drastic growth and several changes during the past years. Currently, the new president and the newest reforms have influenced the government and now the country is focusing on exporting processed goods instead of raw materials.

Through time, huge amounts of remains such as mud, soil, and sand were moved away from South America and North America by strong ocean flows and fed through the openings between the recently created landmasses, also known as islands. Slowly, over the years, the remain deposits were getting added to the landmasses till the openings were totally filled. By around 3 million years ago, an isthmus, a narrow strip of land, with water on either side, that connects two larger bodies of land, had formed between South America and North America.

Urbanization in Latin America increased in fifty years (1925-1975) from 25% to 61.2%. The pace of urbanization, however, declined between 1975 and 2000 and currently the proportion of people living in urban areas reached 75.3%.

Given that a number of developing countries now depend heavily on revenues from tourism it is surprising that they have given relatively little attention to the implication of current global economic trends and transformation on the pattern f tourism flow, especially given the extent to which they have already been affected by some of the dramatic changes in the global economic over the last two decades. The impacts and changes of scientific and technological advancement, demographic trends, the rise of new centre of global manufacturing, surging demand for resources, rapid shifts in the pattern of environmental impacts, changes in the nature of risk, political and economic influence, competition and conflict and geopolitical balance of power, and the potential global threats such as climate change, has on developing nations that highly depend on the tourism sector. “Tourism in a transforming world economy: How can small nations prepare for the changes that lie ahead?” McNeil (2014) this shows that tourism plays a significant role in the economy within a country, especially countries that depend highly on it. Heritage and cultural sites can create an opportunity for Jamaica because of its historical backgrounds. Statistics have shown that in UK visits increase by 29% making it 8,874 visits, 48% holiday’s visits and 91,245 stay over that visited castles, historical houses, art galleries and museum (Inbound tourism forecast, 2017).

Tourism plays a vital role in economic development in most countries around the world. The industry has not only direct economic impact, but also significant indirect and influential impacts. There is agreement among experts that the travel and tourism sector is the fastest growing of global economy. According to the latest UNWTO World Tourism Barometer, international tourism receipts surpass US$ 1 trillion in 2011, growing about 3.8%up from 2010 (WTO, 2012).

Both works also fictionally challenge the character of the United States. A character filled with hubris; there are many occurrences of the public misconstruing the ideals of the country. Such as the beginning of Vonnegut’s piece when the narrator reads aloud that information, regarding the bombing of Dresden is confidential. This upsets the wife of one of Pilgrim’s war acquaintances who professes her disapproval with war stating, ‘You’ll pretend you were men instead of babies, and you will be played in the movies by Frank Sinatra and John Wayne or some of those other glamorous, war-loving, dirty old men.’ Hiding terrible acts from the public or modifying the information is an issue with American culture. Maja Zehfuss weighs in on the secrecy by saying, ‘Nothing

Another aspect of impact of tourism on a country’s economy is that it facilitates the expansion of the market of goods and services. Foreigners come to a country willing to spend money on different goods and services, thus increasing the amounts of sales. This is a great chance for producers and service providers to receive larger profits. This concerns not only hoteliers, tour operators, and souvenir shops owners. Public transportation, retail stores of different kind, restaurants, and cafes benefit from international tourism. Obviously, if these industries are in demand, businesses will be expanding. On the one hand, it means that more money is paid to the budget. On the other hand, profits generated by the owners are spent inside the country, affecting almost all the fields of the

South America has an exuberating force of culture, lifestyle, and people that many of us tend to gravitate towards. This region of the world, however, has been shaped for thousands of years due to geographic location as well as history. Every day aspects of the life such as population, language, and religion are based on the complex landscape and biodiversity offered in this picturesque corner of the globe.

The Travel and Tourism industry is still one of the largest single businesses in world commerce and its importance is widely recognized. The tourism industry is now one of the largest sectors earning foreign exchange. In the face of many benefits, many countries have started assigning due weight age to the tourism industry in their national development agenda. Tourism is an industry that operates on a massively broad scale: it embraces activities ranging from the smallest sea-side hotel; to air-lines, multi-national hotel chains and major international tour operators. Originally, non-traditional industries such as tourism emerged as a solution to strike a balance between ecology and industry
