    On the sandy shores of Mexico in 1519, Hernan Cortes strode off of his ship and stepped into unfamiliar territory.

    Overall, your paragraphs explain very well who the Zapatistas are and what they did. The only thing that I believe is wrong is the first paragraph, because the socio historical context is about what was happening during the time the group was created. Was there a war going on, protest, or an specific movement that influenced the Zapatistas. I have never heard about this group before, but I learned a lot about it now. The reason for the Zapatista army is to fight against the PRI party in Mexico.…

From looking at the painting it is clear to see that the man is seated at a table with his elbows rested on the surface. His two frail hands are folded together and pressed against his forehead, as if he is bowing his head in prayer.

    Evolution of the Scientific Method Francisco Ayala illustrates the inconsistency between Charles Darwin’s proclaimed experimental procedures disclosed to the public and the actual methodology that was carried out. The development of the scientific method allowed researchers to record empirical observations in a controlled setting in order to understand a scientific phenomenon. In Darwin’s time, majority of the researchers utilized the dominant inductive method which was influenced by John Stuart Mill and Francis Bacon.

    Domingo Sarmiento’s letter, “The United States: “An Inconceivable Extravaganza” ” and the Ostend Manifesto has led to two complex responses from the Latin American nations towards the aggressive U.S expansionist policy and the failures of maintaining political stability within their countries.
