The Meaning Of Nicaragua

Whether it is the Spanish governor Pedrarias versus the Indian chieftain Diriangen or the Somoza family versus Sandinista leaders, it is always a fight for freedom or dictatorship. The anti-Americanism of some Nicaraguans also spans back centuries, and it is at least partially justified. From William Walker’s conquest and presidency to America “stealing” the Panama Canal, and the later betrayal of Roosevelt and Nixon, there was plenty of reasons to harbor resentment for Americans. Sandino, the hero who fought the U.S. and inspired the Sandinista revolution, once told an American reporter, “Tell your people that there might be bandits in Nicaragua but that they are not necessarily

n the 1800’s a lot of people from Europe started to come into Nicaragua. Also families from Belgium, Spain, Italy, and Germany moved to Nicaragua to set up their own businesses to do with money. They established coffee businesses, newspapers, hotels and banks. The U.S. government negotiated with President Jose Santos Zelaya to get land so their would be a canal through Nicaragua in the late 1800’s. The minister of Nicaragua, Luis Felipe Corea, went to Washington and wrote a letter to the U.S. Secretary of State John Hay addressing the needed support of a canal by the Zelaya government. The Zanchez-Merry Treaty was signed with Nicaragua regarding the canal through Columbia but fell through because it was rejected by John Hay. The Spooner Act,

“The people of Nicaragua were suffering oppression. This made us develop an awareness which eventually led us to commit ourselves to the struggle against the domination of the capitalists of our country in collusion with the United States government.” (Daniel Ortega 1974) As has been discussed throughout the semester thus far many countries throughout Latin America have experienced a political revolution in some way, shape, or form. In the early 1970’s Nicaragua joined the long list of Latin American countries to experience a revolution when the Frente Sandinista de Liberacion Nacional (FSLN) lead by Daniel Ortega successfully overthrew the Somoza dynasty. Many people often times have a misconception of what exactly a political revolution

One provoking example was taken in Nicaragua in 1978: a young women escaping and barely able to hold a little naked boy while carrying a heavy bag- the caption says “Fleeing the bombing to seek refuge outside of Esteli, Nicaragua, Sep. 20, 1978”. Please see figure 3. In addition to many other provoking examples of similar nature; hopeless people, who don’t need a lens following them in that critical and most difficult time of their

The Nicaraguan National Guard was created in the 1920s and trained by US Marines. The US Marines were in Nicaragua in order to create order and civility. Once people began to rebel against the Marines, the US decided to create an organization to serve the same purpose the Marines did. The National Guard was to act as a police

On the narrow isthmus known as Central America, between the world’s two greatest oceans, Nicaragua has been marked by endless years of political turmoil, social tension and economic dismay. The turmoil’s that have shaken the country make it plausible to believe that by some metaphysical law, Nicaraguan politics have accommodated to nature’s tantrums. Like its diverse, rugged and seismically active geology, the country’s politics have been irregular, impulsive and often explosive (Pastor, 15). The Nicaraguan election of February 25, 1990 represents the country’s attempt to break from its turbulent political past and pursue economic and political stability through the establishment of a democracy. The

(Vianica. com) Although they're passionate about their costumes, they aren't so vibrant about their formal wear; traditionally men wear guayabera in white, which is a Caribbean style outfit. (Nations of the World, pg. 1355) Nicaraguans are not only passionate about their culture, but they have big spirits about their athletics. Rather if its Nicaraguan football, baseball, or boxing, they have people that have impacted sports history in different ways. Although football is popular there, baseball holds the hearts of Nicaraguan people and is taken serious. Their national baseball league is called La Liga Nicaraguense de Beisbol Profesional and has only 4 national baseball teams: Indios Del Boer, Tigres Del Chinandega, Leones de Leon, and Orientales de Granada. (Nicaragua.com/sports)Another way of showing passion towards culture is by the celebration of their national holidays; New Years Day, Labor Day, Independence Day, and Christmas Day, are the only holidays that the United States celebrates too. The others are The Sandinista Revolution Day, which is July 19th, Battle of San Jacinto, which is September 14th, and Feast of the Immaculate Conception, which is December 8th. They have both national holidays and other holidays known as "observances"; Maundy Thursday, March 24th, Good Friday, March 25th, Holy Saturday, March 26th, Easter Day, March 27th, The Santo Domingo Celebration, August 1st-10th, Army Day,

Beltane is celebrated throughout the country as Los Mayos (lit. "the Mays") often in a similar way to "Fiesta de las Cruces" in many parts of Hispanic America.

Honduras, Nicaragua Deportations Delayed," Dec. 31: To grant temporary protected status for Hondurans and Nicaraguans is great news from Central America. However, It will relieve Honduras and Nicaragua from dealing with the forced repatriation of nationals who continue to bail out their economies. Furthermore, the Central Americans comprise, the second largest Latino group in California. However, California should not ignore Central America and therefore should expect our newest state secretary of trade commerce, Lon Hatamiya, to develop a viable economic policy in Central America.

The food in Nicaragua shares flavors and ingredients with Mexican food. Corn and beans are the staples of their diet. Garlic and onions are the seasons used in their food. Like many Latinos, they eat corn tortilla with their meals. Beans and rice are condumed daily because most people cannot afford to eat meat regularly-the natives call them gallo pinto, or “spotted rooster”. The natives also eat tamales but not

Commercial sales of turtle meat, which has long been a delicacy here, is restricted in Nicaragua because of declining populations of endangered green sea turtles — one of many cultural clashes that the people in this remote corner of Nicaragua, who have eaten turtle for generations, say have propelled them to create their own country, which they have dubbed the Communitarian Nation of

Five years ago, while driving home from school, my father asks (in Spanish), “Guess what I cooked today? I’ll give you a clue, it starts with an N.” “Nachos? Noodles?” we blurted with increasing curiosity. “Nope. Okay, I’ll tell you guys… Enchiladas!” While I knew that my father never received an education, this was the first time I realized my father was illiterate. Limited development and a continued cycle of poverty are few consequences associated with illiteracy, and I could not ignore this global issue.

There are many elements that can contribute to the health status of individuals and groups of people in a given area. Immunization status of a community plays a large factor in morbidity and mortality rates. Advancements in vaccinations over the years have contributed to the decline in many vaccine preventable diseases (VPD) throughout the world. Impact in Ethiopia Low-income countries, such as Ethiopia, are no exception to the progression of immunizations aimed to eliminate VPDs. Efforts like the Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI) have implemented now ten antigens in routine immunization plans for infants and children in Ethiopia.

Compulsive eating and other related eating disorders have a lot in common with drug addiction: both are based on reward processes, include compulsive elements (binge eating vs. binge drug intake), can be described as chronic diseases with high risk of relapse and both share a marked lack of sensitivity to behavioural and pharmacological therapies (for review see Wilson 1993). Among the different models existing for assessing eating disorders (West and York 1998, Tschöp and Heiman 2001, Corwin and Buda-Levin 2004), there is currently no single "gold standard" model or test battery for compulsive behaviour. Models evaluating the compulsive component of eating disorders in rodent by distinguishing between reward-related, energy-related and compulsion-related factors in eating control, may represent a valuable tool in the preclinical search for new pharmaco-therapeutic

As the administrative assistant in my organization a lot of the associate turn to me as a resource and at one point in my new position I believed that some believed I was in a monitorial rule. To illustrate, Kyle a customer service associate, tends to request through me to either leave early or to assist in revival for a break. I remember letting him know one day when he needed to go home early because his anxiety was acting up. I let him know that I would ask the manager on shift if he could leave early because not only was he leave four hours before his shift but I would have to find someone to come in for him. It was already bad that I had so much on my plate as it was I was tired of hearing him wanting to go home all the time. Regardless,
