Honduras is one of those countries people barely know about there are really interesting things about honduras. The life expectancy of people in Honduras is 71. Some of the exports are coffee , bananas, shrimp, lobster etc. (text from national geographic atlas of the world eighth edition). Hondureno catracho (the national nickname) can be amusing; insulting , or friendly depending on the context “catracho” comes from the name Florencio Xatruch , the general who led the Honduran expeditionary force against William Walker in Nicaragua in 1856. The culture is very unique and interesting. The violence is terrifying , especially the security , you can basically get away with anything without getting caught or in any legal problems.

Honduras is approximately 1000 miles southwest of Miami and has a mainly mountainous area of 48,200 square miles. To the North it has a large coastal line with the Caribbean sea and to the South it enjoys a small access to the Pacific.

Honduras is located in Central America. It lies next to Guatemala, El Salvador, and Nicaragua and is about the size of Tennessee making it the second largest country in Central America. Honduras is mostly comprised of mountainous landscape, but does contain many river valleys, and coastal plains. Honduras is 43,278 square miles of land with a population of 8.6 million as of 2014.

Central America Central America, just south of Mexico and North of Panama, consists of just six countries; Guatemala, Belize, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica. Of those six, all share a distinct common history except for Belize. Belize for one is incredibly small, and while Spanish is the official language of other Central American countries, in Belize English is spoken. So throughout this paper as I carelessly say 'Central American' I am not including Belize whose history and development was far different than the others. Although Central America is located close to the United States in relation to the Eastern Hemisphere, our ways of life are indescribably different.

Guatemala is a small country in central America, bordered by Honduras, Belize, El Salvador, and Mexico. Guatemala is best known for their indigenous Mayan culture and excavated ruins of the Mayan empire, nature, and their world class coffee. If you visit Guatemala, you’ll see that it is unique in many ways.

My grandmother was born in Guatemala into a struggling family of seven. In Guatemala, kids are often forced to leave school and start working to help provide for their family´s food and shelter. Similarly, my grandmother was not able to complete her education. Instead, she had to take care of her siblings, providing for their basic needs. As she grew up, she had three kids, including my father, and needed to find a way to give them a better life.

     Guatemala’s culture is a unique product of Native American ways and a strong Spanish colonial heritage. About half of Guatemala’s population is mestizo (known in Guatemala as ladino), people of mixed European and indigenous ancestry. Ladino culture is dominant in urban areas, and is heavily influenced by European and North American trends. Unlike many Latin American countries, Guatemala still has a large indigenous population, the Maya, which has retained a distinct identity. Deeply rooted in the rural highlands of Guatemala, many indigenous people speak a Mayan language, follow traditional religious and village customs, and continue a rich tradition in textiles and other crafts. The two cultures

Guatemala has more people than any other Central American country, with an estimated population of 11,980,000 it is home to many different cultures. The population can be divided into two groups; Indians and people of mixed Spanish and Indian ancestry. But in Guatemala, being called an Indian or a non-Indian does not depend entirely on a person's ancestry. It is basically a matter of how people live and of how they categorize themselves. For example, a Guatemalan is considered an Indian if he or she speaks an Indian language, wears Indian clothing, and lives in a community where the people follow the Indian ways of life. The Indians think of themselves more as part of their community than of their country. They pay little attention

As I stepped out of the airport, followed by my family, I was unprepared for the snowfall and icy pavement that is so commonplace in January in Michigan. If I had thought enough about it, I would have worn winter boots on the plane and maybe brought my puffy white coat to block the wind. Instead, I stood shivering in brand new, pink ballet-flat shoes, while snowflakes filled my eyelashes.

Societies are always marred by acts of incivility and social unrest across various divides. This stance could not have been brought out in no other better way than the way Connelly heightened the Guatemalan Civil War in “from ‘Three Dirges’”. The war hailed out as the most daunting stances that have ever taken place on the global realm. It is deemed to have lasted for over 36 centuries, primarily stemming from the battles between rural poor people and the Guatemalan government. Notably, Connelly posits that this war inflicted pain, hatred, and destitution in the lives of the Guatemala citizens. Connelly heightens how the acts of genocide, oppression and racism dent the calls for democracy, sustainability and progress of nations through the piece Requiem Guatemala, “from ‘Three Dirges’; thus, compelling societies to embrace peace and tranquility.

I used to live in Guatemala and many of you may or may not know how dangerous Guatemala is especially for women. Thankfully, the five years that I lived there I was never a victim of assault. However, it was very common to hear stories of things that happened to different women on the news, from friends, people I worked with, and acquaintances. It was scary and almost intimidating to hear the stories, sometimes I was scared to go anywhere or do anything, and many times I always wondered why I was there. I believe I was never a victim for many reasons but one was because I never let my guard down, I was very cautious and alert of my surroundings. I never went out to the mall, restaurants, and grocery stores by myself, I always made sure I had

“Mangos, mangos, 3 Quetzales !!”. This is the first thing I heard and saw on my trip to Guatemala this past summer. I saw a 9 year old barefoot boy struggling to walk through the busy streets of Guatemala carrying a woven basket that contained ripe and bright orange mangos inside of it. I turned around to my dad and said, “Dad look!! Oh my gosh!! Shouldn’t he be in school?”. My dad always told me about Guatemala and the continuous struggles that he and others faced on a daily basis when he lived there. For the first time I actually saw what my dad talked to about with my very own eyes. What I was seeing was crystal clear and not what I hoped to be a dream.

The country that I am reporting on is Guatemala. Guatemala is located in Central America on the continent of North America. There are four countries that border Guatemala and they are Mexico, Belize, Honduras, and El Salvador. There are also two bodies of water that border Guatemala and they are the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean. Guatemala covers 40,042 square miles of land. In 2017, the total population was 17,137,294 people and the population per square mile was 349 people. The primary language that is spoken in Guatemala is Spanish but K’iche’ and Q'eqchi' are also spoken too. Guatemala’s capital is Guatemala City and it is located in the southern part of the country. Guatemala has a Presidential Representative Democratic Republic government and the president is Jimmy Morales. The currency that the citizens of Guatemala use is the Guatemalan Quetzal. The Guatemalan Quetzal is worth 0.14 cents of the United States dollar. Most citizens practice the Roman Catholicism religion but Evangelical Protestantism and Orthodoxy are also practiced

Located on the Pacific Coastline, El Salvador is the smallest country in Central America, and the most populated. The United States of America foreign policy on El Salvador is best explained by President Obama’s approach on Latin America where the United States is focused on economic growth and equality, energy and climate control, and regional and citizen security (Foreign Policy, 2012). This is best explained using the international level of analysis and neo-liberalism where the global structure and economic interdependence provides the foundation of America’s foreign policy. To ensure that one can see the transparency in United States methodology I will provide the history of El Salvador, the creation of United States interest in El
