Children in Honduras are many are motherless and fatherless, having no hope of spared life to a bright future; as they live in such poverty, have no choice to join a gang to be fed, looked over, doing absolutely anything to not be homeless on the streets, dead. Honduras is known as the most dangerous states in Central America in the world, so the only decision they have is to leave before any damage can happen to them. A fellow border crosser, Enrique, was an extremely poor, abandoned, damaged child with nothing but a dream to reunite with his mother who had left him to work and send money to him to have a healthy life, but that was never enough for him. He wanted to see her physically, wanting to feel loved and appreciated for once because everyone else he had back in Honduras had either left him or is completely contagious to turn Enrique to a soft child to a gang member.
My dad was born in the small Central American nation of El Salvador, more specifically in Anamoros located on the east side of the country. He lived in the countryside so he often played with their animals, spent most of his childhood swimming in the rivers or playing soccer with his friends, and would frequently hang out with his grandparents in the afternoons. In 1980, when he was about 12 years old that all began to change, he and all those around him needed to be more cautious about their surroundings.
Imagine yourself as a businessperson on a trip to the island of Hispaniola to check on how production is faring. You land in Santo Domingo to transfer to a short commuter flight to Port-au-Prince. During the flight, you gaze outside your window to admire the breathtaking view of the Sierra de Baoruco, with its luscious forests. As the plane approaches the Haiti-Dominican Republic border, you notice that the land has been completely denuded of trees directly on the other side of the border, creating a clear demarcation between Haiti and the Dominican Republic.
In Honduras, like a majority of Latin American countries, the social context of women is relegated to the home and being a housewife. Gender relations are seen as paramount to how people interact, how business is done, political development and the general view of society as a whole. (CITE) The situation for women in Honduras, and their position juxtaposed to men, is dominated by an economically hierarchal and patriarchal society. A large part of how women are viewed or treated is based upon whether they are impoverished and live in rural outskirts of cities, or wealthier and within the city context. (CITE)

The Guatemalan culture is very different than the American culture. They eat and drink almost the same food as us but at different times.

Guatemala’s culture is a unique product of Native American ways and a strong Spanish colonial heritage. About half of Guatemala’s population is mestizo (known in Guatemala as ladino), people of mixed European and indigenous ancestry. Ladino culture is dominant in urban areas, and is heavily influenced by European and North American trends. Unlike many Latin American countries, Guatemala still has a large indigenous population, the Maya, which has retained a distinct identity. Deeply rooted in the rural highlands of Guatemala, many indigenous people speak a Mayan language, follow traditional religious and village customs, and continue a rich tradition in textiles and other crafts.

Plato’s Republic as a whole is founded on the idea that there an objective immutable reality and truth, which he calls ‘the good’ (506d), and the soul can realize this principle through proper education.

Belize also help me to be more understanding. Not everyone comes from a family where they have it all. Some have to work harder than others to make sure their family has all of their daily needs. Some families didn 't have electricity, so a lot of their work had to be rush during daylight. Some families were able to take shower in their home, when others had to take a bath in the lake or river where they washed their clothes. In America we access to lights, in Belize, they do not have any wires to even reach their hunts to even have access to power. Some people had to lay leaves over their huts, so when it rain, the hut will not flood inside.
