    Summary: The Developed Social System In Colombia

    The developed social system in Colombia was divided into the upper, middle, and lower classes. The upper class accounted for about 20 percent of the population who were the wealthy individuals. Individuals with European ancestry tended to make up most of the upper class. The middle class people consisting of Mestizos and Mulattoes had less rights and fewer opportunities but were still able to live relatively undisturbed lives. People in the lower class were usually Blacks and Indians. They were commonly mistreated, malnourished, and uneducated. Even today, whites are viewed as wealthier and more valuable than other ethnicities. All three of the classes tend to speak a more proper Spanish on the interior of Colombia opposed to the coastal…

    Internal Conflicts In Colombia

    Due its natural resources and strategic geographic location, Colombia have had significant conflicts in its history, starting in 1536 to 1541 when their natives called “Chibchas” had to fight with Spaniards conquers for their land. In 1819 under the Command of Simon Bolivar, Colombia achieved its independence when Creoles (descendants of Spaniards and natives) grew tired of the taxes that Spain had imposed and decided to fight and defeat Spain military forces, achieving the independence of the Republic of Colombia. In the 20th century, Colombia had to face a great deal of internal conflicts against paramilitary organizations with the intention controlling the territory.

    The Role Of Drug Trafficking In Colombia

    A large portion of FARC’s profits now come from drug trafficking; however, they weren’t major drug traffickers when Plan Colombia was first implemented. Peter Dale Scott, a professor at the University of California, Berkeley and author of several books on this topic, noted that the Colombian government estimated in 2001 that paramilitary groups controlled 40% of the cocaine exports; whereas the FARC controlled only 2.5%. The FARC had been more involved in the “taxing” of the drug trade, but they have since significantly increased their role in production by forcing farmers to grow cocaine. Economics and geopolitics are the clear reasons why the U.S. government implemented such a flawed drug policy which targets the FARC while turning a blind eye to the attacks committed by right-wing paramilitary groups.…

    Effects of the Colombian Exchange

    The Columbian Exchange effected Europe and the Americas similarly and differently in environmental ways such as crops and in demographic ways such as diseases. The Columbian Exchange involved the transfer of lots of people, the exchange of crops, animals and resources that went between the New and Old World. European explorers came over to the Americas and brought things that ultimately helped the Natives to prosper such as new farming techniques, hunting, fighting, and city building these were some of the more demographic effects. Europe also affected the Americas environmentally by bringing foods such as wheat, rye, barley, oats and millet. Just like Europeans, the Americans helped to bring new plants, vegetables, and fruits back to the old world such as corn, tomatoes, and coco beans. Another demographic effect of the Columbian Exchange was diseases. When Europeans explorers came to the Americas they introduced new diseases such as tuberculosis, measles, cholera, typhus, and smallpox. Of all the exchanges between the Native Americans and Europeans, disease had the most impact. Native Americans also gave the Europeans diseases as well such as Syphilis. The European explorers then brought that disease back to Europe killing many Europeans in the process.…

    Cafta-Dr

    The Dominican Republic – Central America Free Trade Agreement is usually called CAFTA-DR. It is a free trade agreement that includes the United States and the Central American countries of Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua originally, and in 2004, the Dominican Republic joined the negotiations. Nearly all Central American exports to the United States were already tariff-free since the Caribbean Basin Initiative was first enacted in 1984. The agreement is a treaty under international law, but not under the United States Constitution because it does not have the approval from both houses; it is called a treaty when two-thirds of the Senate only approves the agreement. The Senate approved the CAFTA-DR on June 30, 2005, the United States House of Representatives approved the pact on July 28, 2005, and it was signed by President George W. Bush on August 2, 2005.…

    The Policy of Imperialism

    In Panama, the Panamanians allowed the United States to rent the land needed to build the Panama Canal. The U.S. wanted to build the Panama Canal because they gained control over Puerto Rico and the Philippines. The canal would allow warships to pass between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans without circling South America, making it easier to defend the United States. So the Panama Canal benefits the U.S. by allowing warships to pass between the two oceans, helping the growing trade of Asia, and making it easier to defend the United States.…
