Real estate groups such as Real Inmobilaria, are taking over high priced land centrally located in Havana, Cuba . The reason these companies are moving in, is due to legislation that was passed allowing foreign investments dealing with property ownership. Beginning in 1995, companies were allowed to construct property, if the land "…is used for private homes, for tourists, or for employees of foreign companies" (Reyes, 2). By the government allowing this to happen they are taking property away from

Diane von Furstenberg once said, “I always wanted to be a femme fatale. Even when I was a young girl, I never really wanted to be a girl. I wanted to be a woman.” In Zora Neale Hurston’s novel, Their Eyes Were Watching God, the recurring motif illustrates the struggle of the protagonist, the wide-eyed Janie Crawford, who strives to become a woman on her own terms. Janie is a young woman left to live with her grandmother Nanny, a woman whose existence has been shaped not only by slavery but by terrible

As America creates a social network for nations, the citizens are using tolerance, where they don’t have to learn or understand, making a barrier. For instance, Madeleine Albright in The Mighty and the Almighty, noted that U.S. ambassadors did not have to understand or know about the major religion of the country they were in (Prothero 5).

Democracy has consistently been a critical issue in America; as the country developed and progressed, so did the kind of popular government and its meaning. Democracy is a strategy for settling on political choices; it is the thing that makes the nation recognized, effective and is the reason for American achievement. The Consitution is the essential composed arrangement of standards and points of reference of central government in the US, which came into operation in 1789 and has since been changed

After learning about Women’s History, my eyes were not only opened up to the difficult challenges faced in the past, but opened up to see the beauty of today. This Women’s History class altered my perspectives, introduced me to significant changes, and gave me the knowledge to know what my obligations are as a woman today. My perspectives have changed towards multiple different events in Women’s History. One of the most interesting topics, and biggest events to me personally, would be in regards

The United States has a complicated history with the Middle East, and this has often been reflected in foreign policy decisions. The significance of the region has always remained strong, even as the main goals and methods of accomplishing those goals have twisted and evolved over time. In recent decades, dealing with increasing opposition to US interests by those in the Middle East has become a more prominent concern. This was drawn into the forefront of citizens' minds in 2001.

Imagine reading books as a child and never seeing yourself in the story. Imagine living on a continent of 54 countries and being expected to know everything about all of them. Imagine surprising strangers by knowing your own native language, just because it is the same one as theirs, and you don’t look like them. For many people, these scenarios are more than just imagination and guesswork; they are facets of life, to which they have simply needed to become accustomed. One person with firsthand exposure

journalists Steve Emerson and Judith Miller* who so insightfully saw the “fingerprints” of “Islamic Fundamentalism” mere minutes after the tragic Oklahoma City Bombing. I cannot claim to have the same sense of justice as our former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright who concluded that half a million dead Iraqi children is “a price worth paying”. So I choose instead to write of something that must stir any heart that rests in a human body. My grandmother is a

The United Nations was created to keep peace throughout the world, develop friendly relations among nations, and to help nations work in coordination to improve the lives of the needy, end hunger, disease and illiteracy, and to encourage respect for each other’s rights and freedoms.
