Growing up Mexican/Latino, I have seen that culture enforces the idea that men should be the ones leading, while women are the ones who take orders.

I enjoy this topic, and I chose the sources because they do support the idea of male dominance in the Latino…

History is known to be created only by the victorious, thus what many thought once was the fabric of history is now the remaining threads placed by the needles of conquerors.

In this case, the United Statesians (the victorious), Mexicans (the conquered), and the Texans, were the ones who underwrote most in the, western frontiers, manifest destiny, to the Mexican-American war. Their history, though similar, provides different aspects of how present…

Contrasts in Living – Cuba vs. the United States of America An island of great natural splendor and cultural beauty languishes in the Caribbean Sea just 90 miles south of the tip of Florida, directly separating the USA mainland from its own territory of Puerto Rico.
