Acceptance is one aspect that everyone in the human race strives for. But there are those who become outsiders from the world around them. These outsiders can sometimes be the thing that the rest of the people find extraordinary. In the stories The Healer by Aimee Bender and A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, the central character finds themselves as the outsiders at the beginning of the story but towards the end, the reader is taught that maybe these outsiders could bring comfort to others. These characters, specifically the old man and the fire girl are blessings in disguise for the people around them, bringing comfort to the people who may need it.

This sacred tale aids in understanding the Mayan world, and responds to the universal and profound questions of how do I fit in with nature and society, and where do the roots of human existence come from. The symbolism of nature, that is to say, the creation of man through corn, implies a relationship with man and nature. The cultivation of corn is connected spiritually to Mayan people. There is a partnership between the environment and man, as opposed to having absolute control over land. The people serve not as the cultivators but rather as an integral part of the natural environment. It is from this corn, that they were created, so in essence, they share a religious connection to the natural world.

Built at the height of the Inca empire, Machu Picchu is not only one of the world’s most stunning man-made wonders, but possibly the most well-known relic of the Americas’ most powerful civilization. At the time the structure was built, the Incas ruled the largest nation in the world ; it covered much of South America's west coast and its borders stretched from present day Colombia, southward to the border of modern day Chile. The empire thrived from the twelfth to the fifteenth century until the Spanish conquest in 1572. Although the empire expanded at a rapid speed and covered abundantly diverse areas, Incan emperors effectively unified their empire and maintained legitimacy both socially and politically, by employing unique organizational

In the Saraguro region in Ecuador, the Incans used their religion to control the population. It was key that the Incan Empire used their religion to manipulate sacred landscapes to control portions of a population. It is seen archeologically that the Incans manipulated several ritually important places and other imperial infrastructures into the sacred region of Saraguro. In the article, Inca Manipulation of the Sacred Landscape of Saraguro Ecuador, by Dennis E. Ogburn, he discusses how all throughout the Saraguro region of Ecuador, it is seen that the empire manipulated the landscapes for religious purposes as well as for controlling their people.

The City of Cuzco was a complex urban center with distinct religious and administrative functions. It was surrounded by clearly defined areas for agricultural, artisan, and industrial production. Besides the religious and government buildings, there were also exclusive abodes for royal families, which formed an unprecedented symbolic urban compound. This compound showed a stone construction technology with remarkable aesthetic and structural properties, such as the Temple of the Sun or Qoricancha. Cuzco was the capital of the Tawantinsuyu Inca Empire, which covered much of the South American Andes between the 15th and 16th centuries AD. It was abandoned by the Incas when the Spaniards conquered it in the 16th century.

Teotihuacan is an interesting tourist destination, as it also doubles as an archaeological site that gives the tourist a view into the past of Mexican civilization. Considering Latin America as a whole is relatively new to the tourism industry, and taking into account that tourism plays such a huge role in Mexico’s annual income, it is imperative that all implications of tourism be considered. That being said, the implications of Teotihuacan’s changing landscape should also be considered through the archaeological lens. As Margarita Díaz-Andreu puts it, archaeological tourism and ethics are often two separate fields that are not considered to go hand in hand by many scholars (Díaz-Andreu, 225). Yet, the role of archaeologists in shaping the

Inkan Civilization This ancient pre-Columbian America kingdom rose around Cuzco on the rugged slopes of the Andes Mountain somewhere in the thirteenth century and by the sixteenth century it had spanned 2500 miles along the western coastline of South America. The totalitarian empire had a central sovereign government led by Sapa Inca “child of the sun” and these kings were responsible for uniting the many ethnic groups in the mountainous region. It was also a polytheistic civilization whose foremost deity was the sun-god Inti and the citizens performed ritual sacrifices to appease these gods. The Spanish invasion of 1532 led to its fall at the peak of its rule.
