Did you know that not all teenagers in the world get the opportunity to go to school? In the United States, teenagers and even adults are so accustomed to school being required. They are unaware that it is not like that in all parts of the world. In third-world countries, like Honduras, teenagers do not get to go to school unless they are sponsored, because they cannot afford books, school supplies, school clothes, or shoes. It is not that these teenagers in Honduras choose not to go to school, but more of the fact that they do not have the money to attend school. Although there is a definite difference between high school students in the U.S. and in Honduras when it comes to school availability, students in the U.S. and students in Honduras

My dad was born in the small Central American nation of El Salvador, more specifically in Anamoros located on the east side of the country. He lived in the countryside so he often played with their animals, spent most of his childhood swimming in the rivers or playing soccer with his friends, and would frequently hang out with his grandparents in the afternoons. In 1980, when he was about 12 years old that all began to change, he and all those around him needed to be more cautious about their surroundings.

Honduras is bordered to the west by Guatemala, to the southwest by El Salvador, to the southeast by Nicaragua, to the south by the Pacific Ocean at the Gulf of Fonseca, and to the north by the Gulf of Honduras, a large inlet of the Caribbean Sea. Honduras’ capital is Tegucigalpa, which is also the largest city in the country. Honduras became its own country independent of Spain in the year of 1821 and has not been very good on the political and social side of things. The population of Honduras goes well over 8 million.

El Salvador, located in Central America between Honduras and Guatemala, gained its independence from Spain in 1821, but El Salvador has recently suffered a devastating amount of loss due to a 12-year long civil war. The civil war finally ended in 1992, but the effects of the civil war can still be felt today. El Salvador is one of the poorest developing nations in the world. According to the 2014 Index of Economic Freedom, El Salvador ranks 59th out of 186 countries based on 10 freedoms. When ranking countries, the Index of Economic Freedom considers the rule of law, government size, regulatory efficiency, and open markets within each country in order to determine its ranking. “El Salvador’s economic freedom has been stagnant and scores for eight of the 10 economic freedoms, notably freedom from corruption, property rights, business freedom, and government spending, have deteriorated markedly over the past two decades.” I believe El Salvador’s poor economic global presence is mainly a result of corrupt government and violence. The existence of corruption and violence in El Salvador demonstrates a politically and economically extractive institution, presents evidence of critical junctures that have led to societal changes, and begins to explain why some nations choose not to be prosperous. In addition, El Salvador’s close proximity to North America does not lend itself to a shared political and economic course. These factors combined with the presence of corruption

Honduras is a country in Central America which borders the Caribbean Sea, Guatemala, El Salvador and Nicaragua. From the time Honduras gained its independence in 1821, the country has experienced an intricate history that includes dictatorships, military coups, and government’s struggles. In a country of 8 million people, Honduras has faced more than its share of political instability, poverty, and strong US influence during the past century. This paper examines the effects of the US-sponsored Contras’ war on Honduras during the 1980s. Additionally, an interpretation and analysis of the Reagan Administration foreign policy in Central America are critical to understand the consequences that have affected the Republic of Honduras.

The history of El Salvador begins with the time period in which indigenous peoples resided in the country. According to Roy Poland, in Culture and Customs of El Salvador, El Salvador was conquered by the Spanish in 1524; the spanish found the country was divided into three states (13). The spaniards hegemonic influence finally converted El Salvador into a Spanish colony after twenty six years of indigenous resistance(Poland 14). Such conquest brought violence, diseases, and poverty to the indigenous people. The invasion of El Salvador by the Spanish also resulted in mestizaje, racial mixing. The colonial period lasted until 1821(Poland 14). El Salvador finally became independent from Spain in 1821 and joined the United Provinces of Central America in 1823; however, in 1840 El Salvador gained full independence (Eileen Garron Batres 6), One of the most important crops in El Salvador during the 1800’s and 1900’s was coffee; during the 1900’s El Salvador was the third largest coffee producer internationally (Susan B. Hecht).

El Salvador known for being a small gorgeous country, known as the Land of the Volcanoes! Why you may ask? Because even though it is such a small country it has more than 20 volcanoes, but only two are active. Our national’s soccer team has attended the FIFA world cup, not once but TWICE! Which is a BIG deal, because Spanish countries love soccer. It’s the biggest and more famous sport amongst us. The Salvadorian culture is filled with history, legends, folklore, and religion. We have great foods (not to brag). NOBODY can make pupusas like a Salvadorian. Music, is everything in El Salvador just like it would probably be anywhere else. Salvadorians take pride in their dancing to the music. Popular music in El Salvador uses Marimba, flutes, drums,
