I enjoyed the interactive orals for chapters 2, 8, 9, and 10 which linked the idea of machismo to socialism. When An mentioned in her chapter 2 presentation that Esteban wanted to be machismo, his rejection of socialism became clear to me. Machismo is based in the idea that a man’s strength, power, and control make him worthy, but I didn’t understand how Esteban Trueba was machismo. Yet when I considered that wealth and property conveyed power and control, I finally saw what An was referring to…

When World War II came to a close, the United States and the Soviet Union were left as two superpowers with such contrasting ideologies that they became a threat to each other. Gaddis claimed that the American politicians, having to face such a malevolent force, had to adopt Machiavellian tactics when necessary in order to maintain their safety. Although this claim remains valid to an extent due to the fact that some of the United States’ unscrupulous actions were employed to maintain their…

Political leaders that have charges against them are being arrested for human rights violations ("Chile Arrests Ex-Pinochet Minister over Killings of Political Prisoners.")
