After World War II ended, a new conflict arose, which directly affected Latin America and even Latinos in the United States, pushing them to reflect on their rights as citizens and as U.S citizens, for those who lived in the United States. This conflict was the Cold War. The reason for this was that the Cold War brought forth the knowledge of a new system of government, Communism, which given the characteristics of Latin American governments and their people before, attracted a good amount of Latinos, who were starved for change in the power retained by the oligarchies. This led to conflict in countries like Guatemala, and best known of all, Cuba, where people began to fight back against their old systems and demand better and more equal rights as citizens.

In the United States, the effects of changes taking place in the Latin American nations did not go unnoticed and as after the two world wars, the influx of Hispanics, especially Mexicans and Cubans, increased, they too began to realize that they had the right to demand equal treatment as other U.S citizens. Following after the civil rights movement of African Americans, almost copying them and even allying with them, Hispanics also fought back for equal rights. One of the best known movements was the Chicano Movement of the 1960´s, which sought to fight for the institution and recognition of the rights of Mexican Americans.

In your opinion who should have the createst responsibility for fighting climate change: governments, bus
Anit [1.1K]

The United Nations report on climate change released this week contains some dire news for humanity: It says we have less than two decades and plenty of hard work ahead to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius and avoid catastrophic consequences to the planet. In response to the report, some outlets have made lists of what individuals can do to personally combat climate change, from limiting their meat consumption to carpooling or taking public transportation. Others, however, have argued that individual consumption changes are futile since 70 percent of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions can be traced back to 100 companies, according to a 2017 “Carbon Majors” report by the Climate Accountability Institute.

Both arguments make sense. Individual consumers can’t be blamed for our rising global temperatures — but people want to feel like they’re doing something, no matter how small, to prevent the worst-case climate catastrophe scenario from unfolding. I spoke to Richard Heede, the co-founder and co-director of the Climate Accountability Institute, which produced the Carbon Majors report, about the companies that played the biggest part in creating our current situation and what role, if any, individuals have in determining our future. Our conversation has been condensed and edited for clarity.
