The Current State of Development in Latin AmericaThe Current State of Development in Latin AmericaThe Current State of Development in Latin AmericaThroughout this paper I will be making reference to Peter Winns book Americas. Winn states on page 4 that “Latin America is equally an invention, devised in the nineteenth century by a French geographer to describe the nations that had once been colonized by Latin Europe—Spain, France, and Portugal.” In attempting to establish the current state of development in Latin America, historical chronology serves as the foundation necessary for a broad logical position. Latin American development has evolved in distinct phases, which lead to the present day standings of the politics and peoples throughout the region. The conclusion of distinct historical attributes: conquest, colonialism, immigration, capitalism, and industrialism, serve as the developmental path from the past, to allow an understanding of the current state of development.
The conquest is a major factor in shaping Latin America. In 1492 Christopher Columbus landed on the shores of the Caribbean and claimed the new land in the name of Spain and God. From then on the world was changed forever in the sense that there was a whole New World to conquer. Conquistadors like Cortez and Pizarro then followed and claimed entire new lands and people in the name of gold and wealth. These men started a revolution that changed an entire continent. It was transformed from a free race of people at one with the land to one of slavery and oppression in which man was bound to the land. This was the beginning of colonialism in the New World. The newly founded colonialism changed everything about the land, its inhabitants, culture, and religion and even created new races of people, of which we still do not know everything about. With the curiosity of European countries piqued and rumors of cities made of gold, the Old World decided that there were no boundaries established within the New World and the land was for the taking.
The controlling influence of the Catholic Church in the social and spiritual life of the colonies was deeply rooted in the Spanish past. Royal control over church affairs, in both Spain and the Indies, was founded on the institution of the royal patronage. As applied to the colonies, this patronage consisted in the absolute right of the Spanish kings to nominate all church officials and found churches and monasteries in the Americas. They converted prodigious numbers of natives, and some championed the rights of the Indians against their Spanish oppressors.
Immigration and migration has held a major role in shaping our country. Immigrants have provided many things such as customs, manufacturing, inventions, and entertainment. Many people today dont realize how greatly we have been affected by immigration. Indian culture and the ways in which the Indians responded to the Hispanic invaders were shaped by their own long history on these continents. The Indians arrived from Asia by way of the Bering Strait no less than forty thousand years ago and in the course of time spread over both the American continents and eventually developed a wide range of cultural types, ranging from nomadic groups of hunters and food gatherers to the elaborate empires of the Aztecs and the Inca and the culturally advanced Mayan states. These three civilizations had certain features in common. All three were based on intensive farming
It would not have been possible to have a great number of immigrants, who were not skilled; they had no agriculture. These immigrants had already been assimilated, so all they had done was to adapt to the environment—the environment was not very good, so that they had to adapt with a degree of proficiency and in some cases it was very difficult to adapt as they progressed. Indians and Mexicans living in the Pacific region would have to find new ways to feed and provide for themselves as they have been adapted with the aid of resources, while they would have to adapt with a large degree of expertise, as they are still living in some of the most developed and educated areas of the world, like China and the Philippines. They would have to adapt in ways that would make it easier for all those who were still living in the developing nation. All these factors would have to be made more accessible to them.Â
The most important thing is that the people living and working in the regions of the world, such as the developing country of India, India or the developing country of Brazil, who had already assimilated. All of them need to come and work, and they will need some training, which can be provided locally, in a local context such as in the Philippines and other parts of the world. These people must have a training in agriculture, agriculture, agriculture, agriculture, as well as the knowledge about trade with our developing nation.
I am writing to ask all Indians to please help us keep them safe from violence for generations to come. Please help them to have food and water when they will be able to go to new places and new jobs, and to develop new industries in their own natural way as the Indian people have been doing for millennia. It is not our intention that we should be complacent, but rather that we are not at all naĂŻve to learn, as we are not even ready to think about having a successful future. We will learn from the Indian people how to survive through the many stages of transformation. That’s what we are looking for.
I want all the India people in my home country, in the region outside of the city areas, to be able to choose one or more jobs—one or more jobs depending on what they need. We were lucky enough to have the money on offer from the United States government to take them there. The best job there will be for Indian workers. In many cases when hiring is difficult, even in remote areas, especially in the United States, we can make it possible.Â
We will seek for Indian and Asian people to stay in our natural and well-functioning country to contribute to society through the help of our national society. Our national system needs help from the United States government, including the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank. One of the things we want to do is give to our Indian people the opportunity to make choices about where to stay in the country and where to go. For example, we would love to find a safe place for everyone, with a decent income, safe work conditions, well-trained workers. When the government gets involved we won’t have time to worry so much about this.Â
I am writing to ask all Indians to help us make India more equitable, by providing job opportunities and training to all.
