Latin America, like much of the developing world, will have to face serious challenges in the current century. Environmental changes, persistent inequality, and increasing violence force millions of people throughout the region to live in a constant state of uncertainty. Hispanics are split on whether they think of themselves as a “typical American” or “very different from a typical American.” According to the survey, 49% of Hispanics say the former, while 44% say the latter. Latinos in the U.S. describe their identity in many ways, reflecting the diversity of origins in the Latino community, the immigrant experience and geography. Broadly, some Latinos use pan-ethnic terms such as “Hispanic” or “Latino” to describe their identity; some prefer their family’s Hispanic origin group; others use “American”. For Puerto Ricans, among those born on the island (or in another country outside the U.S.), 74% most often use the term “Puerto Rican” to describe themselves. Among Puerto Ricans born in the 50 states or D.C., just 42% do the same. Half (48%) of second-generation Hispanics most often describe themselves by their family’s Hispanic origin name. We can divide the environmental challenges into those that are already apparent and those that will become more so through the 21st C. (World Bank, 2016) Among the former, the most obvious one is the pollution that mars many cities in Latin America. In many cases, this results not so much from industry as from the massive concentration in 1-2 urban areas in each country. This pollution can be both airborne, and arguably more important, also originates in the underdevelopment of sanitation infrastructure. Half (48%) of Mexicans say they think of themselves as a typical American, while 46% say they think of themselves as very different from a typical American. Among South Americans in the U.S., those shares are 46% and 48%, respectively.
Constructed from the ruins of the Ottoman Empire after the First World War, the map of contemporary Arab states in the Middle East resulted from the Great Game played out by the European powers during the 19th century. Victim of international ambitions, but unable to define objectives for its future, the Middle East became vulnerable to conflicts due to its internal difficulties.
Answer:
The poems chosen were the poems written by Edgar Alan Poe.
Explanation:
Poe's poems express a certain sadness, melancholy and hopelessness. It may seem a little morbid and discouraging, but the poet had an incredible ability to express sadness in his art and make it beyond palatable, stimulating, romantic and passionate.
Poe's writing has evolved over time and although it expresses extreme melancholy it can help us better deal with our sorrows, through art and interpretation.
His work is full of metaphors that intensify all sentimentality and express the poet's soul. His poems are romantic and extremely subjunctive, stimulating the reader's imagination and expression of senses.
Civil disobedience is a form of activism. It is when a
citizen declares his refusal to adhere to certain commands of the government. It
is a non-violent, peaceful demonstration of citizens usually against social
injustices. It includes marches, strikes, protests and blockades. Its mission
is to raise awareness about certain issues in the community and inspire others
to join in a cause. It is often done well-timed, when there is an opportunity
to be seen/ heard (e.g. elections, court hearings, conferences etc).
This is how civil disobedience influence legislation or
government policy:
1. The Government,
which is created by the people, for the people, is bound to listen especially
when the majority display civil disobedience. It is obliged to focus its
attention on the dilemma--social injustice. The laws now can be modified by the
Government officials to serve the people, not the other way around.
2. In politics, personalities in Government often betoken themselves
with certain values. During election, the citizens tend to appoint those who
sympathize with their concerns. A community who is keen on fighting social
injustice, will choose to put politicians who also believe in the same movement
to represent them and initiate the fight against social injustice in the
administration.
