American hip-hop music has achieved its global popularity over decades. It gives young people a lot of acoustic and visual pleasure as a music genre, but it also shows public issues, like poverty, race, human equality, etc. Young people are often attracted to this kind of music because those lyrics reflect their own living situations and mental states. Because of its provocative nature, the influence of American hip-hop music can be a double-edged sword: On the one hand, it can encourage people to participate in social movements; On the other hand, it can be used as a propaganda that ...

In both texts by Kawabata and Marquez there is a constant struggle between tradition and modernity.

“One Hundred Years of Solitude” (Cien Añosde Soledad) is a magical realist novel created by Gabriel García Márquez in 1967. This novel is referred to as the Don Quixote of Latin America because of its overwhelming popularity (Jay Corwin, 4). The novel does not have any clear and obvious philosophy that is why the perception of this novel is very individualistic. The tragic and mystique ending pushes to the idea that multiple aspects of life that are described in the novel are heavily criticized by García Márquez (Jay Corwin, 4). And one of these ...

The film “Maria Full of Grace” takes place in a small Colombian town, where most people are poor and young people have no opportunities to improve their lives. The film presents a detailed image of the isolated Colombian town, which is located in the middle of a deserted landscape. In the film, Maria, the protagonist, moves in a space that seems to be completely unfit for her independent and spirited nature. While following Maria from one key community space to the other, such as the factory, the church and the open air disco, the viewers may become aware that ...

Introduction

Resource curse has been one of the most debated economic issues for the past four to five decades. Indeed, it refers to a theoretical approach that connects certain indicators of a country’s economic growth to its reliance on natural resources such as oil, gas, and minerals. According to a general belief (termed as ‘resource curse’), the countries that are rich in natural and non-renewable resource are characterized by lower levels of democracy, economic growth, and development as compared to the countries with less or no reliance on these resources (Sachs, and Wartner, 2001). On the basis of the ...

The controversy over the understanding of ethnicity and ethnicity unfolded in America and Europe in the early 1970s following the collapse of the colonial system. Many foreign and domestic scientists are engaged in the consideration of the complexity of inter-ethnic relations that has arisen within countries (the so-called “ethnic paradox of our time”). Most of them in their studies refer to the concept of social constructivism (Berger, & Luckmann). This approach allows one to display the natural multiplicity of ethnic identity. Supporters of this trend claim that the ethnic consciousness can have multiple layers; it can be forked and split ...

Introduction

Human trafficking is the trade of persons, usually for sexual exploitation and slavery, for forced labor or for commercial use for the financial gain of the trafficker (UNIDC, 2011). Almost every country in the world is affected by this crime. The most common form of human trafficking is the sexual exploitation of women. The other forms are forced labor and slavery-like servitude and organ removal. Almost 8 out of 10 of the victims of human trafficking are women and children sold as sex slaves (UNODC, 2016).

The HIV/AIDS global epidemic has ravaged millions of lives across the world. In the past, prior to the discovery of effective control measures through medication such as antiRetroViral medication, the disease had infected millions of lives. At the present time, although the discovery of a vaccine has not yet been made, scientific research has made some leeway with regards to this issue. One would expect very low prevalence rate of the disease in the most powerful country in the world owing to the high level of medical technology and innovation systems available. However, this situation is further from the ...

 To date, in the fourteen Latin American countries, those in power are leftist politics (the issue what kind of leftism and the degree of radicalism it is about) will be discussed later. Regardless of all the uniqueness of the moment and the apparent dissimilarity of modern Latin American lefts with their predecessors, there is a clear tendency, which is characteristic for the Latin American model of development as a whole – a tradition of powerful leftist movements, the struggle for social transformation. Facing deep structural crisis, the continent came into a long strip of the struggle against the dictatorship, local ...

The United States possesses a fascinating history pertaining to substance abuse. Even though there are many theories as to why substance abuse exists in the United States and why that substance abuse is taken to the extreme, there is one theory that greatly stands out above the rest. The United States is too protective and puritan in many ways. This is not a statement meaning to disrespect the United States; however, it is a relevant comment to explain why such a substantial rebellion from the youth in the 1960’s transpired with regard to substances and culture in general. ...

The War on Drugs arguably has been a war against the puritan ideals within the United States versus those who want to consume drugs. To be forthcoming, I am not advocating the use of drugs recreationally; however, I feel that where the United States has committed a major error is by not allowing drugs in because what has transpired as a result is the creation of bodies of crime that have caused a great deal of violence. To call this a “war” is a gross exaggeration. The reason for this is that a “war” involves the Untied States combatting ...

Introduction

Mining activities can pose serious environmental and health implications. Although, these environmental and health hazards can be mitigated and effectively managed through sound engineering and environmental practices, these environmental and health issues associated with mining operations could not be totally eradicated.

The Latin American countries have for a long time waged war against imperialism and neo-colonialism by the developed countries. In the heart of neo-colonialism is capitalist imperialism that is characterized by predatory activities of countries that seek to reap big from the less developed country’s resources. Despite the fact that Canada does not regard itself as a capitalistic nation, its large-scale involvement in mining investments in Latin America gives quite a different picture. The mining industry has always been frowned upon and although it is one of the most lucrative businesses, its eventual effect on the population and ...

After 9/11 terrorist attack, United States along with its allies have declared war against terrorism. Answers have been prepared based on these perspectives. 1. The Revolutionary Armed Forces of ...

Pearson, B. "Social Factors in Childhood Bilingualism in the United States." Applied Psycholinguistics (2007): 399-410. Print.

Introduction

In a classic financial world as predicted by Modigliani and Miller (M&M), the risk management should be irrelevant. When there are no information asymmetries, taxes or transaction cost involved, hedging will not add any value to a firm because shareholders or companies can diversify their portfolio in such a way that their overall risk will be totally hedged (Lin and Chang 2006). However, the real world is far from the Modigliani and Miller model. In practice, we see imperfections in the financial market. This imperfection may actually create a rationale to reduce the volatility of earnings for a firm through hedging.

Introduction

The monetary policy of Colombia has undergone numerous changes from 1994 to 2014. The primary purpose for doing so is to target inflation and stabilize the financial status of the country. For this object, state agencies and other monitoring authorities had occasionally evaluated the response of such policy in relation to various financial variables. Although there is not any specific and explicit target regarding real or nominal exchange rates and the monetary policy has to rely upon mainly on the variation of short-term exchange rates. Therefore, in an open economy like Colombia, exchange rates are considered as the most ...

Essay #1

Galeano monograph Open Veins in Latin America explores the history of colonial conquest. Exploitation of Latin America’s natural resources and people helped to foster the industrial capitalist development in Europe or in the United States in the following ways. The first way is how European explorers exploited the silver deposits of Potosi (which is in current day Bolivia). Gold and silver were undoubtedly “main motivating forces” in what Galeano calls the “Conquest” (59). When Christopher Columbus sailed to the New World “he had accepted the challenge of legend” (11).

Since the liberation in the 1990s, Columbia has offered national treatment for foreign investors. A wide range of controls and remittance of capital and profit was also improved and foreign investment was initiated in most sectors. Usually, foreign investment does not need prior authorization, except when developed in the restricted regions. Although investments involving sensitive sectors are subject to prior approval, foreign investors are treated as domestic investors. This indicates doing American car business in the Columbia will be a feasible investment. Therefore, I will evaluate the opportunities and challenges of investing the American cars in Columbia.

Generally, the pattern followed is territorial extension, adjusting the boundaries of organized territories from the newly obtained land, adjustment of the borders of these territories, and ultimate statehood. However, Nevada and Missouri grew after statehood while North Carolina, Georgia, ...

Homeland security

Terrorism is becoming more complicated than before with the use of mass destruction weapons. Ten years after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, policy makers continue to define the homeland security. Prior to 11.09, the United States addressed crises through the separate, law enforcement, prisms of national defence and emergency management. This demands a new strategy for the security enforcers in order to prevent from the threats. Preemption is a measure that ensures terrorists do not plan and attack different places as they chose. Defensive deterrence is no longer an option to prevent attacks, but offensive preemption is needed to counter the ...
