In the Spanish Revolution, the lower class people were the leaders in the armies. In the Spanish government they had different social classes. At the top of the Spanish-American government and Society where the peninsulares who are people that had been…

explain this concept, it is necessary to give a little of my background. This had affected my life because it explains who I am and why am I a musician. My mom was a clarinet teacher who studied at the Tchaikovsky conservatory. She went back to Costa Rica to teach and she became very well known as a teacher. I grew up with music as an everyday routine, and eventually I chose to play the clarinet. I ended up enrolling in the same school where she was teaching at the moment. There, I was known as…

My past few summers consisted of staying up all night, watching television, then sleeping during the day. It was a fun way to spend my summers, but it wasn’t satisfying. So, when the idea of spending three days a week, for eight weeks, playing soccer during the summer became a possibility, I had an odd feeling of motivation. Early into 2016, my interest in soccer was relit. Perhaps I wanted to be more like my brother, who’s serious in obtaining a career in professional soccer. Nonetheless, I…

Although it wasn’t until fairly recently that humans have been severely impacted by climate change, the issue was been present for over a hundred years. The first scientist to conclude that burning fossil fuels in the quantity at which we were doing so would eventually result in elevated mean annual global temperature was Swedish scientist Svante Arrhenius in 1896 (Enzler, 2014).

A perk was that it was a slower time of year for tourism and we could expect lower prices and lighter crowds. As many as five others talked about joining us, but life, jobs, and family demands dwindled the numbers to Mike and I. With only two months to go, we were caribou in the headlights. Two tiny dots against the entire landmass of…

Tariff rates were excessively high and non-tariff barriers kept competing imports away from the domestic markets. It was only in the 1990s that trade liberalization policies were initiated. During the period of protection the manufacturing and tax revenues grew by less than 5% annually. Once the tariff reforms were adopted manufacturing, revenues and exports have all grown in…
