The rise of the middle class had a potent impact on Latin America. The middle class consisted of “a high percentage of the intellectuals, authors, teachers, and journalists” and also they had the most influential voice in the late 19th century (Charlip & Burns, 177). One of the most important points about the middle class was that they were not only the true nationalists in Latin America but also they regarded the United States as their model, thus they tried to learn something beneficial from the

I have this crazy theory, and it turns out I’m not the only one who has this theory. My theory is the Saint Brendan came to North America first, not Leif Erickson, the Chinese, or even Columbus. My main proof is his book Brendan wrote about his adventure over sea, most people think nothing more of the book as tall tales; but some others believe there is some truth within the pages. They think people just added to the original manuscript to make the story a bit more interesting. A couple of these

solitude has on a person all relies on the way they use it. In Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s speech, “The Solitude of Latin America”, he tackles the history and recent state of Latin America. Additionally, he preaches about the word “solitude”, the state of being alone or isolated. The word solitude is used as a metaphor throughout “The Solitude of Latin America” because Latin America wishes for everyone to be themselves and be accepted to be themselves, even when others don’t agree with it and also since

ice-free corridors and water logged routes, Paleoindians travelled from Alaska to Siberia to enter the New World. Over their travels, they discovered new tools, hunting methods and traveling/living techniques. Paleoindians in both North and Central America typically lived in bands of up to 50 people.

Indigenous People of Latin America Throughout the world, when new lands were conquered, old customs would be lost. However, in Latin America, a great deal of their indigenous tribes not only survived being conquered, they are still around today. Different regions of Latin America are home to different peoples and many tribes are part of ancient full-fledged kingdoms. Some of these kingdoms are among the most well-known in the world. The Meso-American native peoples make Latin America famous. These peoples
