El Salvador Compare And Contrast

Over the course of history, the United States has a reputation of getting involved with other nations to sort out disputes, arguments, conflicts, wars, etc. One specific example of U.S. Military Involvement is the 1980 El Salvador Civil War. The El Salvador Civil War was a civil war that lasted from 1980 to about 1992. The war slowly arose due to little uprisings in society, promises to improve economy and lifestyles that were never fulfilled, and the push of communism beliefs onto the people who didn’t believe in them. The U.S. Military would not get involved unless their is a violation of human rights, or if mankind is being put into harm's way. The U.S. involved themselves in the Civil War of El Salvador because they had enough evidence and support for specific claims, had the appropriate authority, and fought for an outcome that suited the needs of humanity.

Foreigners have more trouble understanding Dia de Los Muertos than any of Mexico's other celebrations. At first glance, they see Day of the Dead decorations which are colored paper garlands, little skeletons performing daily tasks and sugar skulls inscribed with names, which remind them of Halloween. Other tourists discover that much like Memorial or Remembrance Day in the US, families here visit, clean and decorate graves of loved ones for the

Cozumel was next on the itinerary but we had no clue what we were going to do there with no excursion booked. When we arrived everyone was running off renting jeeps or taking a taxi but we just stood there looking clueless. This being our first cruise we really didn't know anything about things to do in Cozumel. I stood there thinking "I should have done a little more research on Cozumel". Paul and I were discussing our options when this older couple approached us and introduced themselves, "hello I'm Bill and this is my wife Jennette, we could help but over hear that you are first time cruisers and being unsure of what to do." I laughed and said "Yes we're a little nervous about wondering around in a place we've never been before". The conversations went back and forth for a little while until Bill spoke up and said "why don’t you guys just come with us for the day? "We know of a place you guys can swim at the beach". We we're a little apprehensive to accept their offer at first but we did decided to go. There's way several thoughts running through my mind like "are these people going to take us off and kill us or leave you without a way back to the ship. We took a taxi through town to this ravishing little resort named Occidental Cozumel. It was a burnt orange stucco building decorated with local Mexican décor laced in copper. There was vibrant colors all throughout the breeze way leading to the beach. As the beach came into view I whispered into Paul ear "this look

Another obstacle is the food. I miss my mom’s cook, she always cooked me my favorite food; eggs, beans, chicken, whatever she cooked I love her too much. Here I found many differences between the food of the United States and the El Salvador’s, I think it is by the culture of American people who are used to eat that kind of food. The first time to eat here I just ate one thing during a whole week: Pizza. Maybe I was afraid of the food because I knew it tasted different and some other factors such as I was really hungry. I tried to overcome this obstacle imagining that the food is made by my mom and I guess I will taste very delicious the food. The results were a little better but it is still an obstacle because I don’t feel too much delicious

In the United States there are about 200,000 Salvadorans living here “illegally” being that they are being protected by Temporary Protected Status (TPS). President Donald Trump and Homeland Security have called an end to TPS for Salvadorans, which will be ending on September 9, 2019. TPS first came about for Salvadorans in the 1980s due to the Salvadoran civil war breaking out. Then it was later renewed due to the earthquake El Salvador had in 2001 that was a 7.7 magnitude earthquake. Since those two incidents TPS has continued to be renewed, but Trump has now called an end to it. The California Content standard 11.11.1 asks students to examine the changes in immigration policies. The Salvadoran nation is changing rapidly due to the immigration

In 1980 El Salvador’s civil war officially began. Thousands of people were kidnapped and killed. Church workers were abducted, raped and killed, yet again the peace talks did not begin until 1984 and the Peace Accords of El Salvador was not signed until 1992. Between those twelve years 75,000 people died as a result of the civil war and most of these people were completely innocent.

In my travels of the world I have found myself immersed in many cultures and varieties of ethnicity; I have been very fortunate to live in a day and age where such communication and experience is possible in one lifetime. I have seen La Cathedral de Notre Dame, the Statue of Liberty, the home of Da Vinci, and so many more wonderfully spiritual and historic monuments. Yet still I can say with the utmost certainty that no location has left such a lasting impact on my soul as the quaint, simple country of Costa Rica. Although many places have penetrated me with a sense of what the majestic earth and her inhabitants are capable of and have forced me to question whether or not anything is beyond the grasp of human ingenuity, none have brought

The summer of 2016, my family decided to shake up our annual summer vacation by heading out west, and chose to go to Sedona, Arizona. Let me tell you, this place radiates beauty. If you've never heard of Sedona, I’ll give you some background real quick. The city IS a desert city. Everywhere you look there's just dirt or sand on the ground and lots of cacti. But the trait that distinguishes the city IS that it sits within a valley in the red rock. All around you stand mountains made of this fiery earth. During our stay there we hiked along many trails through the red rock to almost every tourist spot, some of which gave you a panoramic view of the mountains. The views appeared surreal and took my breath away. Yes, I could go on and on about the beauty of this city, but that's not quite what this story IS about. On this trip, my family and I got up close and personal with some areas of Sedona that one wouldn't call “tourist hotspots.” The town of Jerome is an old mining town built at the base of a mountain, that now has lots of shops and restaurants, and we decided to make this our next destination. So my dad plugged the town into his iPhone GPS (first mistake) and we headed out to reach our destination. Blue sky and deserted land rolled by as I stared out the window. Time seemed to slowly trail by and we did not see signs of the town anywhere. Then suddenly, the smooth asphalt turned to gravel, and immediately something seemed off. “Are you sure we’re going the right way??”

If you ever find yourself in Ocean City, Maryland, you will always have a relaxing mornings but in the afternoon, may be overwhelmed by the different types of people on the beach. Depending on the time of day, the beach will feel like a completely difference experience. It can switch from a relaxing day soaking up the sun to virtually being in the middle of a beach brawl and swarmed by wild seagulls. These things are all part of ocean city’s crazy experience.

In the doorway, a petite, hairless dog laid either asleep or dead. Upon entering, an employee asked us to tie a colorful silk wrap around our waists to cover our legs out of reverence. We complied and entered the cathedral. The ceilings were lofty, and the altar was composed of marble trimmed in gold and ornamented with statues of saints and paintings of cherubs. As I was taking it all in, Jose hurried us out. Once again, we marched the streets of Havana in the sweltering heat. The sweat beaded on my forehead as we hiked, for what seemed to be miles, to a cigar bar in the heart of Havana’s historic district.

Our next stop was Colosseum, where our driver Enriqo dropped us off. As we walked up the faded, brown steps, the smell of dirt hit me. People walked back and forth wondering if they get a better view, the dismantled artifacts below will somehow change. The grass below was musty brown, with a hint of faded green as if it was trying to stay alive. Outside near the Colosseum, Enriqo tells us that the Arch of Constantine stands as a historic reminder of Emperor Constantine 's defeat over Tyrant Maxentius. Back at the hotel, we had dinner on the roof overlooking a view of the ancient Vatican. The bartender soon realized that my mom and me were Filipino and delivered cocktails free of charge. I had my first alcoholic drink with my mom on the rooftop of my hotel, overlooking the Vatican. By this time the sun was setting, and the sky was a dark, ocean blue, fading into a sea of apricot orange.

The country has been able to take advantage of the region’s positive prospects and should continue to do so in coming years. The country has good prospects for economic growth and foreign direct investment (FDI), import cover levels are comfortable, and political risk is relatively low.

The sizzling city of Valdada is located in present day Orlando through Fort Lauderdale. Our city was first introduced to the country in 2067 by a man named Saul Matthew. Some of the problems Saul Matthew’s and Valdada had to overcome were the zoning and tax laws that the US government put in place. Shortly after the creation of Valdada people came to live some of which were retired high, medium, and low wealth. Young, old, and retired people. The location of Valdada is located by a ocean. People in our city are able to get a nice tan and relax by the beach in the very sunny environment. For fun the people of Valdada go to the water park and the arcade. Over the years we have been able to create a city that run on sunlight and waste so our streets are clean and safe.

We were in the middle of the desert, basically having no sense of direction whatsoever. Riding down the coastline of a twenty-mile island off the coast of Venezuela. Not knowing where to go was an issue but my brother, Ben, and I were on the ATV zooming through the desert seeing various attractions throughout the trip. Watching animals run everywhere, experiencing the views of little beaches with huge waves it was like a dream come true.
