The Mayan people’s struggle for equality led to tensions with the government of Guatemala. Since Mayans are the indigenous people of the country, they felt they should have the same opportunities and recognition as other ethnic groups in the region (Genocide). However, “when Spanish explorers conquered this region in the 16th century, the Mayans became slaves in their own homeland” (ibid). The Mayans were no longer able to exercise their rights, and lost their identity in their homeland. As a result, in the 1970s, the Mayans decided to take matters into their own hands and rebel against the Guatemalan government (GUATEMALA 1982). Years of pent up aggression were finally being expressed, but the government

The size of Connecticut, El Salvador is one of Central America’s most densely populated countries and has the highest mortality rate in the world. First conquered by the Spaniards in the early 1500s, El Salvador’s history is filled with tension, violence, and exclusion; the settlers robbed the indigenous people of their land and forced them to slave in the coffee plant fields. Not only were the indigenous people deprived of their land, it was kept in the hands of the elite, creating little to no social mobility and further subjugating native Salvadorans. As discontent and tension increased between the elite and the poor, a massacre occurred on January 22, 1932 that was carried out by the National Guard, killing between 10,000 and 40,000 peasants—most of whom were indigenous people. The slaughter ignited a fire among the Salvadoran people that was fueled by unfulfilled promises of socio-economic parity and agrarian reform. In 1979 a civil war broke loose, Salvadorans were disappearing, illegally detained by the military, and killed. Maria Teresa Tula, a Salvadoran woman of indigenous decent shares her first-hand experience with violence in her work Hear My Testimony; as the wife of a union member, Maria Teresa was catapulted into a world where the government captured and killed her husband. In order to find answers Maria Teresa joined a civil society made up of women known as COMADRES, an organization dedicated to helping the families of the disappeared and finding their

Victoria Sanford’s Buried Secrets: Truth and Human Rights in Guatemala is about La Violencia, a time in Guatemalan history where “the Guatemalan army” was blamed “for 93 percent of the human rights violations, violations that were so severe and systematically enacted against the whole Maya communities” (Sanford 14). It has been concluded that La Violencia, the acts that the Guatemalan army had committed were “acts of genocide against the Maya” (Sanford 14). After all was said and done, and these horrific actions had been committed against the Maya it was important for them to show the truth about what had happened to them. In Sanford’s book she has a quote from Juan Manuel Gerónimo where he says, “We want people to know what happened here so that it does not happen here again, or in some other village in Guatemala, or in some other department, or in some

“Guatemala's 2015 population of 16.3 million makes it the most populous nation of Central America” (Population). Out if this number about 30,000 of them have left Guatemala as migrants (countrymeter). These migrants are leaving left and right fleeing to the United States from bad lifestyles causing an immigration crisis. They are fleeing from dangerous living conditions heading toward what they believe to be a better place. One mother came to America to get away from an abusive husband. She was emotionally and physacally abused and her husband even hired two men to kill her. She decined she had to leave when he began to threat thier daughter says her would rape her is she and the children didn”t leave (Guinan). Another

The non-juridical nature of the Guatemalan Truth Commission forced it to focus its efforts on identifying structural, social, cultural, and political factors of violence. Because of the limit in juridical power, all parties – the state, the guerrilla, and civil society – anticipated its failure. The Guatemalan TRC is not a product of a deliberate decision to prioritise peace over justice, but a result of the existing power structure at the time of its creation. However, it prompted a transformation in political discourse and historical narrative, that would later nurture efforts to bring justice to victims. The report published by the Guatemalan truth commission is, by all accounts,

Efraín Ríos Montt was the president of Guatemala during 1981-1983. He started a genocide campaign of state terror to eliminate the Mayas in the name of countering “communist subversion” and stripping the country’s indigenous culture.

Since the transition, Guatemalans have participated in an election for the National Constituent Assembly (which produced the current Constitution in 1985), eight uninterrupted general elections to elect the executive and legislative branches of government as well as municipal authorities, and two popular consultations to reform the Constitution (1993 and 1999) (ASIES, 2012).

However, violence has been transformed into issues related to organized crime and narco activity. And finally (3), the system has not suffered what Huntington (1994) noted as the authoritarian backlash against

The armed force aggregate utilized strategies of dread, control and gore to stamp out what it saw as the synchronous risk of the FMLN sympathies and the country tenants who felt for them. The town of El Mozote would contain ladies, youngsters and the elderly and additionally the guerilla rebels who stayed outdoors them. In December eleventh, 1981, the Atlacatl Battalion moved toward the town with the expectation of disposing of it from presence. With the help of the United States both in its financing and in how much the occasion was darkened from the perspective of the global group, the Battalion would hold the town and its tenants prisoner for 24 hours before tormenting and killing each man in the town; assaulting then killing all young ladies and ladies over the age of 12; killing the kids with automatic weapons; and consuming the structures constituting the town to the ground. In the essential content by Danner provides details regarding this episode which has wound up ruined just in the decade from there on “that in the United States it came to be known, that it was exposed to the light and then allowed to fall back into the dark, makes the story of El Mozote — how it came to happen and how it came to be denied — a central parable of the Cold War.” This agrees with an emerging pattern of U.S. intercession in Central and South U.S. , where a compulsive push for rural reform , labor protective covering and other leftist causes threatened to stop the region into communist

Q1: Define Globalization 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 and provide a sample of the type of business data managers collected during each era.

Studying civil wars can be a very complicated endeavor. This is because the topic is very difficult to break down. When scholars study civil wars, there are many variables that can’t be controlled that can skew data. This makes finding interactions between different variables more difficult. Their complex entanglement, in addition to there being many variables to begin with, makes studying civil wars interesting yet particularly challenging. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, the world was experiencing a wave of conflict proliferation. From South America to Asia and everywhere in between, many states found themselves embroiled in civil conflict. With the US fighting communism from spreading and the Soviet Union fighting to make sure it spread, many domestic issues became internationalized when super powers (more often so than not) became involved. With the rivalry between both hegemons growing more intense, countries experiencing civil conflicts found themselves aided (and sometimes occupied) by both sides. Conflicts in smaller states became proxy wars as the US and the USSR battled it out for supremacy. In both Guatemala and Vietnam, they too got caught up in the middle of the fight. Although the civil wars of both countries began close in time to one another, it is important to analyze their differences in order to

The civil war’s remained for 36 years; kids, man, and women all gathered to fight against the dictatorship of revolutionary and military who were constantly corrupt who dominated the political scene since the 1950 decades. “Guatemala experienced a violent civil war in which over 200,000 civilians were killed, 440 villages destroyed, and more than 1 million Guatemalans displaced internally (Puac-Polanco)”. The government politics left fingerprints. These policies left a indelible which resulted in devastated towns, broken families, social organization implacable repression, disappearances torture, exile, extrajudicial executions, widows, orphaned and abandoned

The Guatemala’s case was irresponsibly handled, leading to many individuals being left untreated and this may have influenced the

helping the farmers, it hurt them even worse by causing a rift between the U.S. and their and simply reversing any liberalization and trade agreements that had previously been put in place. The U.S. was other Nations. The farmers were over producing in hopes of having a prosperous time and but no one was buying our products either as a result. When President Franklin D. Roosevelt was voted into office, he soon convinced Congress to approve the Reciprocal Trade Agreement Act. This act allowed the President to negotiate bilateral trade agreements with other countries. This re-opened the door of communication and started to help rebuild the mutual trust with other countries, thus starting a new era of to what we know today as globalization. President Roosevelt was considered to be an internationalist, not isolationist, like his predecessors. He knew that in order for our economy to survive and one day thrive that we had to trade internationally. The days of high protective tariffs were slowly becoming a thing of the past. President Roosevelt felt that creating a global organization, hence the United Nations, would help to reduce the

Globalization is taken as facilitator of international trade and economic growth. There might be various parameters for the measurement of the connection between globalization, international trade and economic growth that is derived from the mobility of investment, human capital to communication and transportation that fosters interdependency and other forms of economically beneficial and social relationship between countries.
