Ecuador

country, I guess. Now I along with my mom live with him. You see I lived in this country called Ecuador it’s-------------. Ecuador’s main language is spanish, while of course in any country there are different dialects of the same language everyone is capable of understanding each other. The problem now is that my dad lives in U.S.A the big and greatest country ever. It was in the eyes of everyone I knew in Ecuador. I knew very little…

Global Health - Biosocial Aproach Ecuador is a country that provides free health care through public hospitals; however, it is not a guarantee of an efficient public health system, because there still have inequalities in the process. Although patients do not have to pay for medical attention, the medicine costs grows often and inaccesible for the poor. In a globalized world, human beings are always exposed to new illnesses. As people cross borders, diseases can become pandemic if the root…

Ecuador is a democratic country that is drifting towards authoritarianism. Freedom House assigns Ecuador “partly free” and rates them a three out of seven on the freedom scale. Problems holding the government back from reaching the status of free and a “one” rating are hiding in the structural make up of Ecuadorian governmental system. Operating under a presidential republic gives the majority of the power to President Correa. Their legislative branch is unicameral, elected by proportional…

Ecuador a very known country to alot of Spanish-speakers and Portuguese-speakers a country straddling the equator on South America’s west coast.

In this paper, I will compare and contrast the different economic systems in the United States, North Korea and Ecuador. Those systems are market, command and developing economies. Market economy is an economic system in which prices are based on competition among private businesses and not controlled by a government. Command economy is a system where the government, rather than the free market, determines what goods should be produced, how much should be produced and the price at which the…

My mom started talking about family from Ecuador coming to visit, so in that instant I thought “Oh cool” because i haven't seen them in a long while. She said Florida, so I thought that they would be going to the main attraction which is Disney. Out of nowhere my mom questioned “Are you up to for a trip?” I answered her somewhat frightened “umm..? sure” “Well i've been looking for plane tickets for you to go to Florida by yourself, it’ll only be 3 hour flight, and one week with your dad's…

Passion emerges in the strangest of places. When my family and I shoved our lives into four giant suitcases and flew to Ecuador, I was only in fourth grade. I had no idea what to expect, I only knew that I was going to be doing something so incredibly unique for a person of my age. What I actually experienced upon my first month was intense discomfort. I encountered a new language, a new culture, a new people; there were only the familiar faces of my family that reassured me. Although not always…

A few years ago, my wife Diane and I packed our lives into six suitcases, Diane tucked our beloved Chihuahua, Carmine, under her arm and we set off to build a new life in a small coastal village on Ecuador's northern coast, a country we had never visited. To say we had a fair amount of fear and anxiety would be putting it lightly. As we were riding from Quito's airport high in the Andes mountains to our destination on Ecuador's northern coast about eight hours away, all the familiar fears we'd…

green trees and plants. I breathed in the thick and humid air, and was shocked at how similar the climate was compared to Florida. As I continued to absorb the beauty around me, I thought to myself, “You, Addison Pike, are in the Amazon Jungle of Ecuador. Do you realize that you are over sixty miles from any modern civilization?” This thought echoed in my mind and caused me to shake my head in amazement. My heart raced because I knew that there were amazing adventures laying ahead. My gawking…

When I was ten years old, my mother and I went on a month long trip to Quito, Ecuador to visit my father and other family. One day my abuelo (my grandfather) told my mom and I that he was going to take us on a trip to the edge of the Amazon rainforest. Although this probably sounds really interesting, I was against this trip from the first mention of it. However, since I was ten, my objection meant nothing and the trip happened as planned. We got up very early the day of the trip, a factor…
