1. Before Francisco Pizarro began the Spanish conquest in 1532, the Incan empire dominated the Andes Mountain region. An emperor who demanded strict obedience ruled the land. All business was run by the state, which could draft citizens for its projects. The Inca, terracing the landscape and irrigating the crops, farmed the mountainsides. The Inca were brilliant engineers, whose roadways included bridges. The city of Machu Picchu is an example of their skill with tools like the plumb bob and wooden roller, which they used for in heavy construction. Hundreds of years after their civilization was subdued by the Spanish, the descendants of the once-dominate Incas make up about 50 percent of Peru’s population.

The purpose of this paper is to describe the explored cultural and social experiences of the Peruvian people in the United States. As the 11th-largest from the total Hispanic population in the United States, Peruvians warrant a cultural investigation (Ennis et al., 2011). Hispanic communities are increasing and their social differences are vast. One cannot consider cultural competence without surveying the multiple populations within the large Hispanic population in the United States.

6. Most people live in the west on the Altiplano, a plateau between the two mountain ranges. On the northernmost end of the Altiplano is Lake Titicaca on the boarder of Peru and Bolivia.

The death penalty is still in use in the united states. The state with the most executions is Texas with a total of 545 from 2017 to the year 1976 (Number of Executions, 2017). The death penalty is a very big debate. There are many reasons why and why people do and don’t like the death penalty.

Courage is the ability to do something that frightens one. And odysseus and cummings both have courage. And having courage means being brave or being bold. And cummings a odysseus both were brave. Selflessness is being concern about others more so then yourself.

The Peruvian cuisine consists mostly of spicy dishes. Chili (“Aji” in Spanish) is the most common spice in Peru. It is used to give foods extra flavor.

People from Haiti, Colombia, Peru, Dominican Republic and Ecuador are part of the same territory and despite of that each country has different cultures and lifestyles that enriches and form part of the Latin America history in which Chilean people are involved too.

Bolivia is full of mountainous terrain but is dominated by the Amazon jungle. Nearly ¾ of the population lives on the mountainous terrain because it is more of a plateau than a mountain. The tops of most of the mountains are flat, with some exceptions such Nevado Sajama and Uturuncu, which are volcanoes in Bolivia. The people who don’t live on the mountains are usually farmers or loggers. Both of Bolivia’s capitals are located on the flat mountain tops.

Within this extreme environmental variation, however, the geography of the Inca territory can be divided into three categories: the coast (costa), the mountainous region (sierra), and the eastern tropical region (selva) (Suarez and George 3). In these extreme variations of the physical climates and geography, the Incas knew how to adapt.

Honduras is located in Central America, between the two countries of Guatemala and Nicaragua. You may find it pretty easy to fund Honduras on a map because its about the same size of Tennessee. The exact location of

About 60 percent of the population is Indian, about 30 percent are mestizo, and 10 percent are of white descendants (Gamarra 1991). Geographical and regional areas maintain racial and cultural differences. These areas include the Altiplano (high plains) in the Andes, Mountains, the llanos (low lands near the amazon basin), and the Yungas (semitropical valleys). Before we take a look into the historical background of Bolivia, it is important to point out that this nation is amongst the least united countries in the South American continent.

Culture is the aquired knowledge that people use to interpret, experience, and generate social behavior.

Back in the year 2014 the percentage of immigrants living in the U.S. was 12.9 percent and this number has been doing nothing but increasing. As a result of that it means that the population is increasing as well. An increase in population means an increase in the government spending, which is hurtful to the economy. In order to provide citizens with social services and benefits it cost a lot of money. In fact according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities last year the government had a 485 billion dollar deficit most of which they got from borrowing after they had spent 3.5 trillion dollars. Out of the 485 billion dollars 11 percent went to Safety Net Programs, 18 percent went to Defense and International Security Assistance, 24 percent

Peruvian culture is very diverse. Many aspects of the culture are derived from the native Incas, Spanish conquistadors, settlers, as well as immigrant groups such as Africans, Japanese, Chinese, and Europeans (cite discover Peru). The differences that make up Peruvian culture also differs in region. For instance, remove villages often dress and follow traditions, while many modern areas dress and follow modern tradition (cite). This is seen in their food, arts, and hobbies.
