Desde 1816, un paisaje de playas preciosas, cascadas altas y poderosas, árboles grandes, y montañas gigantes, es conocido como Argentina para miles de millones y hogar para millones. Pero con caos tomando control del país, esos millones de gente estaban buscando alguien para guiarlos. En la Plata, Argentina en 1953, nació Cristina Fernández de Kirchner. Sus padres, Ofelia Esther Wilhelm y Eduardo Fernández trabajan para soportar su hija en su interés de legales. Empezó su estudio de ley en los 1970s en el National University of La Plata.

Para cada historia de éxito, hay algún lucha. Para Cristina, la lucha fue haciendo reglas que ayudan al gente pero aquellos que no cambiaron sus vidas diariamentes. Para atemptar a controlar a los precios de comida en Argentina, Cristina lanzó un plan que desafortunadamente no fue apreciado por todos. “The following spring Fernández de Kirchner imposed a new tax system to significantly increase export taxes on grains in an attempt to control Argentine food prices. Her actions were met with large-scale strikes and protests by farmers’ unions throughout the country, who complained that the increase would reduce their profits.” (www.britannica.com) Es difícil sacrificar su reputación para hacer lo correcto.

Ever since Carmen got to Latin America, her mother made a emphasis on living for the country as oppose to focusing on her own issues. This stunted the pre-pubescent development of Carmen, but the most psychological damage was that, this idea of socialism, confirmed to her that she could not show any weakness. A prime example of this would when Carmen and Ale had their near drowning experience, but did not tell their mother for that was considered showing weakness (insert quotation). Or what about the time she made out with her cousin and the only person she felt compelled to ask for help was her grandmothers maid, in p.74 while Carmen was making out with her cousin everyday she says this about the maid: “I longed to talk to her, to ask her for help in making sense of so much ecstasy and sorrow”. Carmen never felt comfortable talking about vulnerable feelings to her mother, even if the subject was as open as sexuality, in their household vulnerability was considered a weakness. The fact that Carmen wanted to talk to an anonymous maid, says how much shame or guilt she felt about talking these issues with one of her family members. Conversely, the act of taking responsibility for oneself or keeping secrets instilled a habit of independence in Carmen, but at what cost? Her mother showed her how to be independent, but never told about the consequences of deviating from the norms. In Bolivia Carmen was slut shammed for kissing boys and had her neighbors talk bad about her, while her mother never nurtured or told her how to deal with those

The Vietnam War was undeniably huge loss for the United States. This is confirmed by the tens of thousands loss of American men, the excessive period of time it occurred, and it being seemingly unwarranted. The general public protested against the United States’ participation in the Vietnam War. A multitude of people, even those who had participated had frowned upon their involvement. People indicated their antiwar sentiments through different means of expression including music, art, writing. A particularly successful example of said antiwar sentiment includes the letter written by Sandy Kempner. Through the use of sarcasm, Kempner is able to effectively convey his particularly negative view of the war.

According to Garreton, the oppositions had successfully created a political front that aggregated enough support for an alternative to the current regime. This resulted in a democratization in Chile that was also free and repressive. Chile had a pacted transition which was actor-centered. This transition to democracy was repressive in that the elections were started from the top down, only once the elites and the official agreed to hold an election was there any form of a transition. As O’Donnell described it, it is ironically non-democratic because these pacts are negotiated among small numbers of elites. It was also repressive in that once Chile was democratized it delayed truth and justice. Those that were involved in many of the atrocities did not serve jail time because of the amnesty laws. However, this transition was also free because it resulted in elections that allowed for the public to decide whether or not they were going to transition to democracy. These elections were also free in that they were inclusive and also non-violent. This then resulted in a stable democratic government that was bred through both freedom and

While the masses wept in her memory a select few mourned her death with celebratory toasts of champagne. Nevertheless, the Argentine streets were lined with mourners and flowers from the moment her death was announced until her funeral on August 11th. Eva defied stereotypes and her memory is forever embedded in the foundations of Latin American social reform. Transcending her life was her myth and transcending her myth was her love of her husband, Argentine President Juan Peron and of the Argentine

My passion for social justice and accountably led me to pursue a career that involves law and public policy. I seek to learn how to analyze social problems and contribute meaningful solutions. As a Ronald E. McNair Scholar, I have begun working on this skill and would like to build on it and one day apply it in the real world. One of my current research projects as an undergraduate student at the University of Washington concerns the United States economic policies towards Argentina during the Dirty War and their impact on Latin America today. I want to know why certain policies were put in place and what those in power hoped to get out of the new laws.

We live no longer a wave or a high peak of violence, but rather a constant that is repeated; no longer provides enough to consider this as an exception, but as a norm to the citizens we must resign ourselves.
