Haiti Transition Analysis

Many people throughout history have also faced adversity and have been resilient through it. For example, Tyler Perry; he had a terrible childhood, he was physically and sexually abused as a child, kicked out of high school, and tried to commit suicide twice in his lifetime. Still, through all his hardships, he produced and starred in his first theater production, I Know I’ve Been Changed, which failed. Therefore he obtained odd jobs to pay for the production; finally on the seventh run the show broke through. Through all his hardships he never gave up and today has a successful career as a writer, director, and actor. Oprah Winfrey also endured a rough childhood because of sexual abuse, she had a child at fourteen who passed away two weeks after. She continued on to finish high school with honors and get a scholarship for college. She worked her way up from TV anchor to a creator of her own network. Scientist Stephen Hawking was diagnosed with ALS and through his colleague, friends, and family’s support he became a great scientist. Through his perseverance Hawking managed many accomplishments such as his published book on the theories of the Big Bang. Nelson Mandela was also a person with great resilience who dreamed of racial equality and spent 27 years in prison for it.

Haiti Now was founded in 2010 by Alex Lizzappi. A successful Miami businessman today, Alex’s childhood was a very different story. His desire to help the Restavek children of Haiti is a reflection of his own life experiences and his understanding of how a child without a social network and social net worth can be left behind, regardless of their intelligence or potential.

I was about nine years old when I first came to the United States from Haiti. Although I was old enough to understand that we were moving, I did not quite understand the importance of the move and why my mom kept referring to America as the land of opportunities. In the beginning, I hated everything, I did not know the language, I missed my friends, I missed Haiti, I missed the familiarity of things. However, my mom constantly reminded me that this is for the best, that our lives have changed for the better. So, I nodded and continued to be unhappy until I started to understand the language, until I started making new friends, until I missed Haiti less and less, and until the United States became home.

Growing up in Haiti has strengthen my survival instinct at an early age. With barely enough to eat, we was dying one by one. Medicine and treatment was very rare for us. Imagine dying from a simple cold due to the fact that aspirin and cough medicine was foreign to us. I recall walking around wishing for better days or looking for ways to help. And I remember being told I was coming to America. America, the place where even the most impossible dreams come true. America, where education is free and very beneficial. Regardless of how young I was, I knew with every fiber in my little body that I would try my hardest to be successful in America. Unable to speak english, school become a challenge. But to all my teachers surprise it took me less

The French and their slaves populated the island of Haiti during the 18th century. In the late 1700’s, the slaves revolted against the French and began a thirteen-year war for their freedom. This war began the significant problems for Haiti. Today, Haiti suffers from malnutrition, low standards of living, and poor literacy, which Haiti still faces today.

In the Caribbean Sea, located south of the Gulf of Mexico, lies the 149th largest nation in the world, The Republic of Haiti. Since its discovery in 1492, Haiti has experienced a multitude of dictators and inconceivable political and economic turmoil lasting intermittently, over the last 300 years. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the nation of Haiti, its politics and social relations, its economics and resources, and lastly the United States’ interests in regards to the Nation.

The country that I chose to research for my paper is Haiti. Haiti is located in Cuba and Puerto Rico. Haiti shares the Island of Hispaniola with the Dominican Republic. The capital of Haiti is Port-au-Prince, and the population is 9,996,731. Haiti has two official languages French and Haitian Creole. About 2.1 million people of the population live in Port-Au-Prince, which makes the capital an extremely congested city.

Introduction: Today, developed societies are fabricated on obtaining information about the current world through multi billion dollar news corporations which can be be accessed from televisions, papers, websites, and radios. Since the general public is accustomed to this manner, these substantial publishers can effortlessly mold the population's beliefs to suit their desired ideals by reporting on news with incorporated propaganda and subjectivity. So when it's becoming perplexingly more difficult to access factual information about current world events, you have to to analyze whether the source your obtaining news from contains any political agendas, subjectivity, or assumptions. If none, the truth can then be founded upon evidence,

To improve after a natural disaster such as an earthquake, recovery takes a lot out of the government, the people, and the allied countries. When an unexpected major earthquake hit Haiti, a country in the Caribbean, in 2010, at least 200,000 to 316,000 deaths occurred. The many deaths, displaced people, and destroyed buildings left Haiti in ruins. The government and the people were filled with dreadful sorrows as these truths about a ruined Haiti came to light. Immediately after this disaster, allied countries such as the United States and Canada stepped in to pay for search parties and repairing Haiti, physically and emotionally. Even with the support of allied countries and the government, the development of Haiti is still in need of assistance. Six years later, after the 7.0 magnitude earthquake hit Haiti, the handouts and help from allied countries have not been enough to create a fully developed economy and efficient government.

Haiti is an island country that borders the Dominican Republic and is also close in region to the islands of Jamaica, Cuba, and Puerto Rico. This country of Haiti has French as its national tongue, due to European colonization, however, the country is dominantly and significantly of African descent. Also, the nation’s official language is French and the native sport in Haiti is soccer. One of my good friends, Pierre Gaston, who claims the “mountainous country”(as it is translated in English) as his original home, was delighted to recall the impactful memories that living in Haiti granted him before later moving to the United States of America.

THIS PAPER IS PRESENTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT FOR THE REQUIREMENT OF THE COURSE “OTHER WORLD CIVILIZATIONS”

During the 1700s the french had ruled over the nation which is now known today as Haiti.When the french had ruled over haiti it was known as one of the richest nations, by trading coffee beans and sugar. However,this was done with the help of many slaves the french had imperialized. Imperialize is “subject to imperial rule or influence” in simple terms is means when one country rules over another country getting its resources. Which is exactly what the french had done towards Haiti. If haiti had been one of the richest nations then,why is it suffering from economic problems today? Well during 1791 haitians began to rebel against the french starting the most successful slave rebellion in the western hemisphere, However then later threatened

After reading Chapters 1 and 2 it seemed like the French colonists and overseers in Saint-Domingue were doomed from the get go and things and things quickly getting worse for them as time went on as free people of color and slaves continued to overpopulate them. A Haitian Historian hits the nail right on the head when they said "They dug their graves with their penises." With an already dis-proportioned population colonists having mulatto and quadroon lovers just made the balance worse.With power belonging to White males which made up a small percent of the population imposing strict rules and regulations such as rules refusing dance, mirroring Footloose, and ability to beat free people of color on a whim there is no wonder why seeds of a revolution

When I think of resiliency, I think of fighting the urge to conform to standards. Coming into my ninth grade year, I moved in with my sister and was engulfed in a completely new environment. I started at a completely different high school where I was then surrounded by entirely dissimilar people. All these individuals seemed to rise above me in every standard. They were doused in all types of intellect and superficial ideals of social standards, it all felt like a cliché high school movie; cliques formed, dividing one group from another. It was difficult for me to comprehend how this was all real. I felt like a man without a country, school everyday was dreadful; I constantly hounded myself about not being like any of those people; questioning why I couldn’t dress like them or why I didn’t have the same classes they had.

Fast-forward to the time I moved to the United States. I was frustrated that I had to start from scratch, without my family and in a distinctly different culture. I was not ashamed of being a victim, instead I wanted to be a survivor. I believed in the value of education and spent most of my days learning English. After graduating high school, I started working different jobs so I can enroll at
