Essays on Fidel Castro

Introduction

Engineering profession in Canada is self-regulated while in the U.S. it is state-regulated. However, there has been a long-standing debate on whether self-regulation in the engineering profession in Canada has served the public interest in a similar way as the U.S. and other state-regulated regimes. Before engineering was made a self-regulated profession in Canada, there were other professions like medicine and law which were being self-regulated. However, these self-regulated fields had been marred with numerous scandals because they were putting their interests before those of the public. They would increase the cost of professional services and engage in professional ...

Abstract

The decision to invade and occupy Veracruz, Mexico in 1914 by the Americans was a serious mistake. This brought about the development of resentment by the Mexicans of America, as it came on the heels of the loss of Mexican territory to the United States. President Wilson’s decision was clearly an example of the meddling that was to be typical of the United States in order to promote its hegemony around the world. That the United States would go as far as making decisions on who would become the leader of states such as Mexico and other neighboring ...

Behavioral interventions can be grouped as either antecedent-based interventions (ABI) or consequence-based interventions (CBI). CBI is a group of practices in which the problem behaviors are addressed by manipulating the reinforcement or punishment stimuli following an observed behavior, whereas ABI refers to a group of behavioral interventions that are concerned with the modification of environmental factors that are believed to precede problem behaviors (Tullis, Cannella-Malone, & Payne, 2015). Therefore, ABI strategies are implemented before the problem behavior occurs, so their unique quality is the possibility of problem behavior prevention, which makes the behavioral change easier to maintain compared to results ...

David Sinclair, the father of five-month-old Joshua, was sentenced to seven years and three months in jail. Originally the cause of the tot’s death was unidentified. The man stated that the baby simply turned blue and stopped breathing, that’s why he immediately dialed 999. The High Court in Glasgow that took jurisdiction soon discovered information. A team of medical experts found out that the man assaulted his baby son by shaking him and caused the injuries which killed him (Glanfield, 2016). Though Sinclair knew that he shook Joshua approximately five seconds, he disclosed that only after the ...

It has always been the desire of independent nations to act as such: making their own decisions in accordance to their national interest and sovereignty. It is true that nationalism in this regard condones any form of external intervention and manipulation, especially if these actions can directly influence a nation’s political wellbeing. Such is the case between Cuba and the United States, whereby the history between these two nations during the past century is tainted with controversies concerning not only economic and military policies, but more so about displacing a duly-sworn leader who is deemed as perilous by ...

The revolutionary changes brought about by the rejection of the occupation of the former colonialists, and the American neo-colonialists had a profound effect on the sexual revolution in the Cuban society. Although difficulties were experienced in the previous stages, success was realized in the 70s and the 80s. Previous complications were experienced due to the dominance of the white males in the political leadership who were accustomed to the traditional patriarchal sexual ideology. The leadership soon began adopting the Marxist-Leninist concepts that emphasized on reforms of class relations and factors of production (Hamilton, 2012). The leadership sought to increase ...

Background

There have been numerous conspiracy theories offered in lieu of explanations surrounding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy (JFK) in 1963(“John F. Kennedy: Assassination or Conspiracy, n.d.”). In addition, details about the assassination have been uncertain for the last 40 plus years due to the fact that many of the tapes with information and evidence have been tampered with, and so many legal experts and scholars, and historians have refuted a lot of the information published on the case and deem them unreliable (“John F. Kennedy: Assassination or Conspiracy, n.d.”). In addition, due to the irregularities and ...

Issue 1

1) The issue is whether president Ingles can limit Professor Castro’s freedom of speech. 2) The law is from the Putnam v. Keller, 332 F.3d 541 case in which the court held that the campus was a public forum (Lee & Kaplin, 2013). Putnam, therefore, had the same level of access to it as any other member of the public. 3) Because the school is a public forum, the students should be free to speak Spanish in the school compound. I picked this fact because it relates to the stigmatization claim in the Putnam case. The students were being ...

Tourists Relationship with Food and Drinks

Introduction According to Dale (2006, p.2), tourism involves activities of people travelling to take vacationsin places that are outside their typical environments. These vacations do not exceed one consecutive year. Tourism is driven by several factors such as leisure, business, or any other purpose (Dale, 2006 p.2). The definition indicates that tourists move away from their usual homes to a destination where food, drinks, and culture are different.Food and culture are strongly linked.

Abstract

Mermaids have remained the creatures of mythology for quite some time now, and they are also being featured in many of the present day movies and TV shows apart from the children’s cartoons. That is all well for we know that these media are a work of fiction, but shockingly enough, the subject has very recently come up but this time, the classification has not remained in the genre of fiction. Today people are asking if mermaids could actually exist or if the myths had come out of a few very overactive imaginations. The controversial issue has become ...

It is quite hard to believe that a mysterious creature, half human and half fish, lives in the waters of the ocean, never resurfacing to face the world. Mermaids are peculiar to recognize as real creatures, but then coming to think of it, how did the idea of them even evolve? This is because there is evidence of the existence of mermaids as they are real and are present in the waters of the oceans and seas. Mermaids are present because there have been paintings in caves and stories told about them that do not seem to be all ...

Introduction

There has been a cold war between the United States and Cuba since the island was under the rule of Spaniards. Cuba lies only ninety miles of the coast of Florida, and this proximity has lent a viewpoint of many American decision-makers. This proximity to the United States also meant that their harbors were of strategic importance. Cuba's harbors could be used by enemies to threaten the US, and conversely, the US could use the harbors as its first line of the defense against its enemies. This island was factored into the United States economic system, and its economy ...

The CIA has been used to initiate numerous coups in South America including Venezuela whose intent has over time been shown to be to advance the interests of the United States by overthrowing leaders that do not tow its line and replacing them with less reactionary leaders that it can easily manipulate.

These relations range from diplomatic, trade, security to political engagements as evidenced by the Organization of American States (OAS). However, deeply tacked in the historical ...

Introduction

Nowadays, the struggle against the use, dissemination, and production of drugs is quite severe. Despite the fact that so-called War on Drugs has been launched in 1971, it seems like there was no serious developments in this direction. Since the development of this campaign, loads of taxpayers’ funds were invested to this fight, a lot of people were detained, and tons of substances confiscated. The War led to the militarization of the police and involvement of the military into the raids on multiple occasions. One of the main issues here is the focus of the authorities on a specific ...

Fidel Castro was the leader of the Cuban Revolution, Cuban politician, leader of Cuba and president of Cuba from 1976 to 2008. Castro was adored and hated, praised and despised. It is widely believed that his death will become the worst moment for the Cuban population.

Special services of Cuba carefully hide his details of biography and private life. Even the exact date of his birth is ...

Introduction

There has been a cold war between the United States and Cuba since the island was under the rule of Spaniards. In the 1960s, all the US businesses in Cuba were nationalized without any compensation and the US government broke the diplomatic relations with Havana and imposed a trade embargo in response to the Castro's reforms. The Spaniards did not have good relations with the US government and left Cuba with the fear that it might be attacked by the US (Husain 24). The American trade embargo was later made permanent in response to the shooting down of US ...

Suicide in the Military

Over the last decade, an increase in the number suicides has been noted in the military (Castro & Kintzle, 2014; Rudd et al., 2015). Research studies have related mental health issues such as anxiety, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, depression, and substance abuse or dependence among active and inactive servicemen. Notably, the rate of hospitalization due to mental health problems and suicide ideation has risen rapidly in the military circles over the last ten years (Castro & Kintzle, 2014). Many social workers have used the military transition theory to illustrate the possible causes of increased psychological health issues among war veterans that ...

This act has been associated with tremendous changes, although the changes did not occur as it was projected by stakeholders such as ADM’s Andreas. The aim of this act is to strengthen and enhance the United States territorial embargo against Cuba ("America's Cuban Conundrum" 162). Furthermore, the objective of the Helms-Burton Act is to extend territorial use of the original embargo on other foreign countries that engaged in trading with Cuba. This act raised concerns among key stakeholders, although, Washington political officials were of the perspective that the act was consistent with international regulations.

Reasons why the European Union took the case of Helms-Burton Act to the World Trade Organization

In his book called “Talons of the Eagle” written in 1996, Smiths analyzes the history of Latin America starting from the beginning of 19th century and ending with the modern times. He brainstorms a lot about the influence of the United States foreign policy on the development of Latin American countries. There are a lot of historical events described in the book, and Smith spends a lot of time discussing the Cold War, liberal nationalism and the propaganda of national superiority of the United States over the “undeveloped” Latin world. In this research paper, I am going to prove ...

Introduction

The electronic book is rapidly gaining popularity, and most conventional bookstores have been put out of business. Online stores such as Amazon have become a hub for the new evolution in e-books, and there is no question that the advent of internet and technology has automated the way information is published and distributed. Starting 2011, e-books have topped the physical book sales and the percentage of people using them doubled since 2010, including children and young adults. There is also a web explosion of blogs and websites that has rendered conventional newspapers, magazines, and other printed media unfavourable in ...

Reflective Preface

It is a generally well-accepted reality that Miami is a multicultural city. This place has always been not dominated by White Caucasian Americans, but also of Latinos, Mexicans, and in more recent decades, of Middle Eastern, Slavic and Asian cultures as well. In this regard, it may be an accurate assessment that catering to a single market share, by way language usage, may prove to be disadvantageous to any business entity in Miami, given that there is a high probability that clients or customers will be limited to a particular culture that speaks the same language as the proprietor. ...

The Truth behind Mermaids

The idea of mermaids has fascinated the human mind since time immemorial. Sometimes, it is out of pure fantasy and at other times, individuals and organizations front evidence to support the claims on the existence of mermaids. However, no single answer has been agreed upon despite the debates that this question has faced. I have always doubted the existence of a half human in water. I have believed the issue to be a strong myth. However, the mention of mermaids in different forums and disciplines as well as numerous researches and documentaries on the existence of mermaids carries significant ...

1) “By the Rivers of Babylon”: Exile as a Way of Life (Diaz, 149-163) is an essay about how a Cuban in exile relates her life story to Psalm 137. It is about sorrow, longing, nostalgia, hope, vengeance, struggle and forgiveness of those exiled from Jerusalem to Babylon and the Cubans who seek refuge to the United States of America since Castro’s regime. The writer explained through a literary review why she keeps holding on the Psalm as she tries to keep life going in a foreign land. Like the Christians who were forced to exile in ...

Question 1

Data and information are two terms, which are at times used in place of one another although they are different in numerous ways. First of all, data are unorganized, raw facts, which have to be processed while pieces of information are the facts that have been interpreted. Thus, data are the raw facts, which individuals collect based on their experiences and observations. Liew (2007) asserts that data is composed of raw, basic, and usually unfiltered information. Data might at times appear abstract or random since they are in unorganized and raw form. In the case study, the numbers showing ...

In 1904 a British scholar Halford Mackinder delivered a lecture at the Royal Geographical Society called “The Geographical Pivot to History.” Among other important points he made in the lecture one is very relevant to the topic of this essay. Namely, Mr. Mackinder stated that at the beginning of the 20th century the world became the fully interconnected system. There were no more blanks and white spots on the map of the world. Everything was already known to man. Pushing forward, the scholar said that compared to the previous period in history of mankind when developments happening in a ...

Fallujah’s residents used to be open to the Coalition forces, but on 28 April 2003 several local demonstrators were killed by the military and this incident caused a rise of ...

Relation to neo-Marxism

Introduction The Cuban missile crisis marked one of the most turbulent times in our history. It was sparked by the deployment of nuclear missiles by the Soviet Union, in Cuba, in 1962. The world was on the brink of nuclear disaster. This paper seeks to analyze the underlying reasons, the influence of neo-Marxism and its role in the development and exacerbation of the Cuban missile crisis.

What is neo-Marxism

Before we embark on the underlying causes of the Cuban missile crisis, it is important to understand the basic differences between tenets of old school Marxism and neo-Marxism – its evolution, historical impact and ...

History has not been kind to many countries in the Latin American region. Since the early 14th and 15th centuries which saw the conquest of the Latin American region by Iberian monarchs, the region has witnessed instability, violence and a penchant for allowing dictatorial regimes to flourish. Most of the Latin American republics were formed in the 19th century and were a direct consequence of the lack of people’s confidence, in civilian rule and democracy. This failure of many civilian governments was a result of wide spread dissatisfaction among the people because of high poverty and corruption. It ...

While the bulk collection of phone record has been over, its restoration is the most optimal decision since there are no software program adequately replacing the wiretapping system, which is what makes the solution so important minimizing the vulnerability of the United States. Of course, there are ethical concerns; however, a saved human life is the best argument to consider ethicality a conventionality avoided for a greater good. Financially, the country is on the winning side, as are its citizens. The economic weight and irreplaceability of the USA is unlikely to damage the finances due to wiretapping concerns. Wiretapping ...

A Comparative Study of Pragmatic Properties of the English and Chinese Language

Introduction Just like humans and knowledge, language is able to evolve. The question to consider is that are these changes good or bad? The establishment of a language take years to perfect and right now, no language in this world is flawless. Two best examples are two of the most spoken language in the world Chinese and English.

English only came in third with 335,000,000 after Spanish. One ...

Cuba, just like many other communist countries did not subscribe Western ideologies especially after Fidel Castro came into power and subscribed to communism. The country and its people have not in the past welcomed nontraditional tendencies such as same sex marriages and relationships. The hawk-eyed leadership is keen on anything and everything that goes on within the boundaries of Cuba. The movie Strawberry and Chocolate by Gutierrez Alea shows how much freedom was lacking slowly but surely dawning on this communist nation. To have a man who is gay and one who behaves and acts as one before a ...

Introduction

The Falkland War of 1982 was an undeclared war between the United Kingdom and Argentina and lasted for about ten weeks. The main reason for the fighting was because of two islands under British control that the Argentines insisted were supposed to be theirs since they were located only 300 miles from their coast (Ashton, 2018, 1). These islands were South Sandwich and the Falkland Islands. In response to the above prompt, the essay will look at the war in detail, both from the military perspective and diplomatically, to uncover why the war broke out and the liability that ...

Every year in the late November, the American press remembers the murder of John F. Kennedy, mentioning thus about Lee Harvey Oswald, Jack Ruby, the Mafia, Castro, the Warren Commission. And each time it emphasizes that murder mystery was not solved. This is true. Probably it cannot be finally solved in principle. The shots in Dallas are the result of hidden movements - the state, public, criminal ones.

As you know, murder investigation was taken by the Warren Commission. The main conclusion of the commission was that the accused in the murder, Lee Harvey Oswald, acted alone. This ...

Until 2011, AiraAsia did not have any dividend policy. However, AirAsia paid their maiden dividend in the year 2011 of 3 sen for every ordinary share for rewarding their loyal shareholders. This was due to the reason that their business was in its early stages of capital and development and needed the revenue reinvested for its future well being (Airasia, 2011). The company used no dividend policy due to their need of funds for the company’s growth and their working capital requirement (Management Education, 2012).

People in different parts of the world are now, more than ever before concerned about business ethics. The totality of business ethics calls for organizations and individuals to uphold six qualities namely; honesty, integrity, trust, responsibility, citizenship and respect both for the rule of law and human rights (Moon, Et al. 2001). In an effort to gain larger market shares and remain competitive in the dynamic business environment, several companies have in the last decade practiced gross unethical behaviors. The practicing of unethical behaviors negates several legal, moral and economic stipulations in law. More so, unethical practices badly ruins ...

The Second World War has been regarded as the Good War for many reasons, and many have defended the participation of the United States in it as morally and rationally justified. This justification is based on the belief that Germany and Japan were threatening the power balance of the world and would have posed an impending danger to America and the rest of the free world if they were not stopped. The book was written in 1972, in a time where the United States had waged many other wars, and the public had started to question the stand taken ...
