3) In the mid-1800s, Peru's economy revolved around natural fertilizer which they called guano. Guano was the gold of the time, it would grow crops in almost any soil. Guano was in high demand, as it was the best fertilizer at the time. It had the perfect combination of nutrients and had plentiful supply of nitrogen and phosphorus. Peru was flourishing but their economy ran solely on guano. Guano was being devoured and it would soon run out. After Peru ran out of guano, the country collapsed.
Another country that resembles this heavy reliance on a specific resource is Venezuela. Venezuela is a large oil exporter, but 95% of the country’s income is from oil exports. They have the largest oil supply in the world, but the country still suffers
Peru is much smaller in land mass and population and is unique in its culture. The history of the country is interesting; Peru was once part of the Incan Empire, the largest Native American Empire in the world. It started in Peru and made allies with other tribes to get to its massive size. The empire got about eight to ten million people before Francisco Pizarro came with his conquistadores. Francisco Pizarro started his conquest on 1531 and ended it in 1534. On July 28, 1821, Peru proclaimed its independence, but the Spanish were not finally defeated until 1824. The Mexican Native Americans known as the Aztecs were more cruel when expanding. They would raid other tribes and murder or sell off the people. They got to around 5 million inhabitants before Hernandez Cortez came and destroyed the empire with his army of Spaniards .
After the horrible experience and dangerous incidents my daughter, Isabella Ostos, lived in the Archeological Project in Cosma-Peru under your supervision. It is with profound indignation that we are writing you this letter.
The major reason why the Americans were not justified for war with Mexico was because of their decision to try to annex to the United States. In Document C, it shows us Mexico’s thoughts on the Annexation. Jesus Velasco-Marquez says,” The Annexation of Texas to the United States was inadmissible for both legal and security reasons.” Mexico saw Texas’s action to join the United States as a real big threat. Nobody would want a very powerful and strong country right on their border.
Peru gain minerals, as well as New Spain, gain gold and silver, “cochineal (little insects like flies), from which crimson dye is made, leather, cotton, sugar” and more. The King gets one fourth of the millions of pounds, tenth-part of the gold and silver which is minted to coins, in all he gets a fifth of what was formed. In the past years, there’s been an abundance of gold and silver on the earth surface but now, the million pounds of gold and silver is unlikely to be the same. To get much more gold and silver, they would have to dig deep into the earth surface, which requires special training and guidelines. But, the Spaniards was not willing to do the digging, nor was the Indians going to do it either because they were freed by the Emperor
In the 1400’s through the 1500”s there were the Aztec and Inca empires, both were empires that started out as marginalized peoples who conquered and absorbed other cultures. Aztec and Inca Empires were based on managing resources, goods, and people in an economy centered on intensive agriculture including having their currency systems. The economic characteristics of the Aztec and Inca empires were similar in that they both changed their environment to improve their agricultural system and they both focused on internal trade networks, however they differed in the way they taxed their people. The Aztecs were a triple alliance; three city states that banded together for the greater good. The joined civilizations were Mexico-Tenochtitlan, Texcoco, and Tlacopan. The Incas were located around modern day Peru, and are known as the largest empire in the pre-Columbian America.
In the opening pages of her novel To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee wrote these words: “There was no hurry, for there was nowhere to go, nothing to buy and no money to buy it with…but it was a time of vague optimism for some of the people: Maycomb County had recently been told that it had nothing to fear but fear itself.” Lee alludes to the seemingly inadequate reassurance that United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt provided during his inauguration speech at the onset of the Great Depression, while also describing the melancholy and hopelessness that many citizens felt. This sentiment, however, was not just confined to the United States—the impact of the Wall Street Crash of 1929 had also reverberated throughout Latin America, and

The boom of the industrial revolution changed many things in America, and roles began to shift. Many farmers moved their families into the cities and began working in factories. Not only did men work in these factories, but many women did as well. During the beginning of the twentieth century we begin to see a huge rise in women in the work force. In the novels A Fierce Discontent by Michael McGerr, The Jungle by Upton Sinclair and Industrial Workers in Chicago by Lizabeth Cohen, each author paints a picture of what lives of different individuals was like during this time period. There are many different themes that the authors discuss in their novels such as race, labor, wealth, region, gender, and many more. One theme that is most intriguing is that of the women workers during the early twentieth century. Women in the workforce begins to explode during this time and will really take off during World War II. The road that women had to travel to get to where we are today was a rough one. These three books discuss well womens struggle in the work place and In particular the authors discuss the different things that working women had to endure such as discrimination, class struggle and working conditions.

Capital punishment (death penalty) consists in killing (by humane, painless means) a convict; this penalty can be sentenced if the criminal perpetuate a serious crime, such as: murder, treason, terrorism, and espionage. Shamefully in Peru, crimes that should have been punished with capital sentence have incremented in 24% between 2011 and 2013; and it is estimated that in 2014 alone, more than 2000 of this types of crimes were perpetrated. The amount of serious crimes is constantly increasing, and show no signs of stopping anytime soon So, should capital punishment be applied for serious crimes in Peru? The logical answer is yes, and in the following lines, it will be explained why the application of this punishment is imperative.
The Guano Age in Peru began with the increased demand for Guano as a fertilizer. In 1840, Liebig provided the scientific evidence of the benefits of fertilizers such as guano. Peru was a huge distributor of Guano, which led to their economic boom. In Peru’s war for independence, they took out loans from Britain, and Britain was the chief market for Guano. The distribution of guano provided the Peruvians with the leverage they needed to redeem its debt to Britain.

According to Fuad-Luke, (2009) Design activism is the process of ‘design ideas, creativity and technique that carried out intentionally or unintentionally to develop a counter-narrative intended at creating and managing constructive social, institutional, ecological and/or economic revolution.’ The Design Activists have a prominent effect on the society in a way that the designs produced by them have a deep relationship with the culture and different kinds of people perceive their ideas in a different way. The design ideas could range from a very small advertisement to a large signage system to save lives of people in critical situations. As designs also have a greater impact on our thoughts, so everything appears to us through a different angle, thus revealing the nature in different ways as well. The concepts of design, which are to be used for activism, are still very narrow and it has created many problems and confusions in the minds of the people. By having conceptualized designs any designer can promote activism for social movements, whereas misleading design ideas can create a lot of social and economic problems. By having accurate and robust designs the ideas of people will get clear and design activism will be easily accessible within the field of design. The vision lies in the motion and therefore a lot of design activists are enhancing their designs to a benefit the communities and improving the environment and on the other hand the designs, which
