West Indies Federation

Fun fact in 2008 Rihanna’s birthday was officially named Rihanna Day in her homeland. Robyn Rihanna Fenty born in Saint Michael, Barbados on February 20,1988. Her parents are Monica and Ronald Fenty she is the oldest of three. Many people view her as an iconic individual. Doing research on her made me realize she’s just like anyone of us a normal person. Whether we like it or not she does what she wants, when she wants. Rihanna is a role model for all women in my eyes. These are a few reasons why I find Rihanna to be a great role model: first, she became a star at the age of 16; second, she created the Believe Foundation; and third, she made a cosmetic brand. Rihanna overcame issues at home by escaping in music. Just a young teen her and her friends got the chance to audition for Evan Rogers a music producer. With the help of Rogers, she was then signed with Def Jam Records. The album Music of the Sun is what made her famous at the age of sixteen. Her song “Pon de Replay” hit the top five on the billboard chart “It’s just language that we speak in Barbados. It’s broken English. Pon is on, De means the, so it’s just basically telling the DJ to put my song on the reply.” she says. After many hours in the studio working on her music she’s won six Grammy Awards. The next year she created the Believe Foundation who was devoted for terminally ill and disadvantaged kids. Rihanna says, “When I was young, and I would watch television and I would see all the children suffering, I…

shift in history happened around the late 1400’s when a slightly well known man by the name of Christopher Columbus came across what is now known as North America. Columbus actually thought he had found a new and shorter route to the West Indies. When this was announced, the news spread like wildfire and it was not soon after that, other countries began to send their own explorers. It was a bright and positive time when leaders wanted to claim new land for their country. But, what of the people…

While a large distance may separate Carolina and the West Indies these two places could be said to be exactly identical in the 18th century. Places in the West Indies quickly found a quick production in sugar that translated to large amounts of wealth. However the need for land was not suitable on the West Indie islands. In an effort to attempt to find more land the elite planters made way to America to try to create a new colony but of similar taste as the West Indies. This system in the West…

Columbus is arguably one of the most influential individuals in American history and his impact is still felt today. In this paper I will begin by discussing the explicit account of Columbus’s first voyage to “The Indies” in his letter to the king and queen of Spain. Then I will go into detail of the implicit meaning behind his letter and the impact it had on the following historical…

All of these statistics show these nations’ governments are very successful in ensuring the health of citizens in their own ways…

Federalism is compromise essential for the creation of the country. It can be seen as a compromise between the extreme concentration of power and a loose confederation of independent states for governing a variety of people usually in a large expanse of territory. The balance between big and small government is something that has shifted since the conception of our country. While in theory one could argue that both sides sound like feasible solutions to many political and social issues, finding…

Interest groups exist in order to protect the people within their groups in many ways including through influencing governments. These groups exist for everything from aboriginal issues, to peace, and women’s issues. Within the concept of “interest groups”, they are split up into categories:“economic” or “non-economic”. Economic groups work for professional or personal gain, compared to groups that instead focus solely on goods that help society as a whole rather than individual people. Some…
