The importance of Political consumption in Latin America “known as the ensemble of sociocultural processes in which the appropriation and use of products takes place”; states Nestor Garcia Canclini in (Consumer and Citizens p.38) This definition lead us to believe that consumption is more than what we take in such as food, Knowledge, and, unnecessary purchases. In the 1880 through the 1930 “greater affluence led to new economic opportunities and a larger and greater political stability in most countries, but the dependence upon exports also made Latin America subject to global economic forces over which it had no control.” (A Concise Introduction to Latin American Politics and Development P. 8) An example of this would be how many countries depended on only one crop (Sugar, Coffee, Bananas. It’s sad to say that if one of the crop decreased in value on the world market, the whole entire nation will suffer the consequences. (Latin American Politics p.8) Latin America started to become more fluent with their manufactures, this was the first largest Industrialization in the 1930s this was their way of thinking better for the …show more content…

    From the majestic words of the brilliant Philoshope John Locke, a governmental system has the obligation to provide and work for the people, in either a direct or indirect matter. The system should satisfy and benefit the citizen in every possible aspect, rather than preventing the forward advancement of a nation’s people. Locke believed that the power of government should be controlled by the governed, and if the government fails to preserve the rights of the people, the power should be stripped away and the governed have the given right to overthrow the existing government. Although this principal is democratic in nature, it is a key factor in the relationship between the government and the governed of any given nation. In many Latin American countries, a strong central government has always been the most common form of administration. The government, regardless of being a democratic or a socialist one, manages and controls the majority if not all of the aspects of the country such as the regulation commerce, the distribution of natural resources, the overall management of the banking systems and the department of agriculture. This makes the country much more subjective to corruption and an unbalance of power with in its own system because the government has so much influence and control within the nation that it almost forms a political or social “monopoly”, in which there is no higher authority to regulate or police what, and in what way different aspects of…

    According to Gonzalez, some often describe the American model, in contrast to the ill-suited Spanish model, as one that was fundamentally suited for power and expansion. However, as Gonzalez argues in the chapter, his views are not particularly in accord with the general consensus because these views “ignore the discordant and unequal relationship that emerged between the US and Latin America from the first days of independence.” (Page 27).…

    Cuba, which exemplified a prime example of Spanish imperialism, saw an increasing rate of dissatisfaction with Spanish rule amongst its people. This displeasure prove to be inversely proportional to the country’s profitability, meaning, as the economy thrived, dissatisfaction with the Spanish regime increased due to the fact that the profit did not go to Cuba, but instead to Spain’s treasuries. It was this dissatisfaction and Spain’s inability to provide pivotal developmental support which saw the introduction of the United States as a dominant force in Cuban society, based on Ramon Ruiz analysis in ‘Cuba: The Making of the 1959 Revolution’. According to Campbell and Cateau, the United States became active in Cuba through providing input, purchasing the majority of Cuban produced sugar and vast investment in the country’s sugar and tobacco industries as well as the railroad, banking, electricity and telephone services.…

    This region stems from the United States-Mexico border south to the end of Argentina and Chile. Latin America contains many wonderful geographical elements, such as the Andes mountain range, and Amazon River. This region has a miraculous history with innovative civilizations like the Mayas, Aztecs, and Incas. Unfortunately, European explorers wiped much of these civilizations out. Many modern Latin American countries face obstacles due to their history of colonization. Land in this region has become a problem with many corrupt political leaders taking land from ordinary citizens and churches, distributing it to caudillo, wealthy landowners, for a cheap price in return for their support. Another issue that Latin America faces is that of racial hierarchy. Many indigenous and African members of the population are kept in the lowest levels of society with limited resources available to help them improve their quality of life. Latin America’s economy has struggled to keep up with the developed economies of other nations, even though Latin America joined the free-market earlier than many other regions. In order to remedy this problem, the Economic Commission for Latin America attempted import substitution industrialization to prioritize national development. At first, Latin America experienced success from this new economic strategy in the 1950’s through the 1970’s, but in the long term it failed because of structural defects. After this period of time, Latin America entered into what is known as “the lost decade” because of its debt. International financial institutions tried to help Latin America with its debt, but were ultimately unsuccessful due to institutions inability to keep Latin Americans best interest in mind. Many of the Latin America nations also struggle with corrupt governments run by dictators, though most of their constitutions are founded on…
