What Does All Of Latin America Have A Common?

There are many reasons why poverty is very high in Central America. In Rural areas of Central America 2/3 of the people that live there are at or below the poverty line (Marrone, 2016). According to a study in 2002, 45% of people in rural areas were poor and the other half was extremely poor (IFAD, 2009). The money that the poor make, they only get 3% of their income, and the money that the wealthy of the poor make get 60% of their income (Marrone, 2016). Countries have not done very much to help poverty and one of the worst countries dealing with poverty is Honduras as 75% of their population live in poverty (Marrone, 2016).

This report provides information on Honduras which includes the geography, its society, and government conditions. It offers facts about Honduras’ natural resources and ethnic groups. In addition, the article examines its military and transnational issues including, international conflicts, refugees and drug trafficking. The article provides insight to what controls the economy of Honduras. This article will be useful for my final project because it offers background facts on the level of development.

There are many reasons why the poverty population in Honduras is exorbitant. These reasons can be explained in a macro, micro, and mezzo way. According to Gamble (2013), the practice of macro social work involves intervening in large systems to help clients (Gamble, 2013). Honduras has an extremely corrupt government. The country is as poor as it is violent. In the film, The Other Side of Immigration (2009), citizens were interviewed and asked about their feelings on their government. One man said that he does not trust his government. He also stated that he will not take part in any strikes against the government because he feels that it will do no good (Germano, 2009). Sadly, it is apparent that the majority of the population feel this way. How is a country supposed to flourish without the backing and the security of their own government?

Human rights can be summarized as the activities and freedoms that all human beings are entitled to enjoy and only by virtue of their humanity. These conditions are generally guaranteed in the constitution of the land. They are widely felt in the area as they are divided and not limited to political, social economic and cultural rights. Some of the main principles of human rights include the fact that they are inherent, inalienable and indivisible as well. In this relation, human rights can never be taken away from an individual whereby the enjoyment of one right should not infringe the enjoyment of other. They must all be respected and maintained.

Although Latin American nations achieved independence, they faced a tragic and frustrating century, that included political and economical instability. The first half of the century was full of decline and disappointment. The great liberators could not get control of the nations they freed. They couldn't do this because they were uneducated in this and could not make proper decisions for the nations. Progressive leaders were so infatuated with the idea of independence, they did not consider the risks and how they would economically support the newly independent nations. I would not want independence from a thriving dependent nation if I knew the potential problems that would occur

Describe how Latin America, its history, culture, socio-political construction and backdrop enter into this chapter.

I come from a background which consists of poverty, underrepresented communities and broken school systems. I have experienced what it's like to live in a community that lacks access, resources and education. I am particularly interested in studying the similarities within the educational, economic and cultural experiences lived by women in underrepresented communities throughout different parts of Latin America. As a woman born in a machista culture, I want to examine the influence that such ideology has amongst women and its effect in educational attainment in both countries.

Concentration camp prisoners during World War II were subjected to cruel torture, starvation, and mental anguish. A reflection on this inhumane war and its abuse of rights brought into question which natural rights human beings are entitled. Thus, a document, called the “Universal Declaration of Human Rights,” was adopted by the United Nations that outlines which fundamental rights every being deserves . However, this document is largely ignored today. Many ignore this document because they do not agree with the concept of “human rights” or disagree on which rights are basic rights. Every being is entitled to natural human rights, and these rights are based upon the fulfillment of Thomas Aquinas’ three natural inclinations.

The doctrine of human rights were created to protect every single human regardless of race, gender, sex, nationality, sexual orientation and other differences. It is based on human dignity and the belief that no one has the right to take this away from another human being. The doctrine states that every ‘man’ has inalienable rights of equality, but is this true? Are human rights universal? Whether human rights are universal has been debated for decades. There have been individuals and even countries that oppose the idea that human rights are for everybody. This argument shall be investigated in this essay, by: exploring definitions and history on human rights, debating on whether it is universal while providing examples and background

Various authors have tried to criticize the injustices against humanity and human rights. Their main concern has been the unfair treatment on the Mexican-American population on basis of racial lines. Equal treatment of all with regard to basic human rights has been a major theme which these authors seek to drive forward.
