Chile has been the location of some of the largest earthquakes ever recorded. Few earthquakes in the southern hemisphere, or even in the entire world, compare to The Great Chilean Earthquake in May of 1960. In Figure 1.1, Richard Aster places the most powerful earthquakes from the last one-hundred years in a pie chart. The Great Chilean Earthquake accounts for nearly 20% of the total global seismic moment release. At a moment magnitude of 9.5, the earthquake caused astronomical amounts of damage…

to assess media freedom used by Reporters Without Borders (RWB) and Freedom House, two of the best known and internationally quoted indexes on the matter (Becker, Vlad, & Nusser, 2007; Burgess, 2010; Holtz-Bacha, 2004; Behmer, 2011). Specifically, Chile and Poland are taken as cases of democracies to test how the assessment through these dominating indexes works for those countries. Furthermore, this article compares the conclusions about the methodologies of RWB and Freedom House with an…

Horman (John Shea) during the 1973 military coup in Chile. In doing so, Costa-Gavras’ film offers a realistic portrayal of the US government’s involvement in the coup through a documented account of their failure to protect their own citizens. He accomplishes this by having the film follow the emotional journey of Charles Foreman’s father, Ed Horman (Jack Lemon), who represents the lifestyle the US claims it’s protecting with its actions in Chile; he essentially forces the audience to…

to achieve a goal of providing nutrition education to low-income communities was The Child Health Initiative for Lifelong Eating and Exercise (CHILE). CHILE was established in 16 Head Start Centers in rural communities whose mission was to improve healthy living through the use of classroom curriculum, family interaction, and training. Davis says, “The CHILE intervention includes six components that address nutrition and physical activity at multiple levels. These include a classroom…

SOUTH AMERICA – BRAZIL, ARGENTINA, and CHILE South America. When I think of this area several thoughts run rampant through my mind. My thoughts blissfully wander through tropical beaches and long, warm sunny days. The perfect place to take a tranquil vacation, laying on the beach or playing golf at a coastal resort. A place to achieve complete ataraxia. My attention then turns to the violence and drugs which seem to be prevalent in these areas. We hear of the drug wars which run rampant in…

importance. One of the most significant and common factor of these movements was the issue of equal access of resources by the common people. This issue was also a major reason for high rates of inequality in Latin American countries like Cuba and Chile. Around 1950’s, factors like poverty and lack of basic needs posed some serious challenges to the development of Cuba (Chasteen, 269-270). A Cuban left-wing revolutionary, Fidel Castro believed that the control of resources by the upper class…

understanding cultural industries in a “developing” economy and to refine the extent to which this definition fits with actual data in this economic sector-, this proposal aims to characterize the FDI inflows into media and communication sector in Chile and the imports of cultural services and goods, especially audiovisual ones. The research will also look at the regulatory frame of both FDI and imports in this issue, such as tariffs, quotas, or nontariff barriers. This is especially crucial…

and 43 inches long, went through his head. As a result of Phineas's brain injury, it took a tragic turn of events to make him act like an adult with low EQ or filter. He uses vulgar language, and took risky behaviors, for example, running away to Chile. Other evidence shows that Phineas's behavior is different from adolescents because he curses and doesn't have normal adolescent social skills. After his accident, Phineas described his behavior as an adolescent, which is different from…

collapse between these two earthquakes raise people’s awareness. In January, a magnitude 7.0 earthquake stroked Haiti, causing 220,000 people died. In contrast, a magnitude 8.8 earthquake which released 500 times more energy than Haiti’s, rattled Chile but only causes 525 people to die. When seeking the answers to the huge differences, scientists discovered that geological differences as well as social factors both helped to minimize death toll and infrastructure failures. Geological Aspects…
