This leads to many false stereotypes and assumptions about cultures which most of us have never experienced.
2) When the structure of colonialism set in on Latin America, the Catholic Church established Counter-Reformation initiatives ordered by Spain's Holy Inquisition. The Counter-Reformation discouraged cultural endeavors in Latin America if they were not directly affiliated to specific Church celebrations. This resulted in much illiteracy and general ignorance of advances being made in the world during the 17th and 18th centuries, specifically the Enlightenment. Additionally, the Catholic Church, in this role, was less involved in being true missionaries, but rather functioned as a cultural censor that enforced regulatory social practices. Peninsular bureaucrats seemed to have no interest or care for the vast lands of Latin America, and developed an increasing disdain for the growing mixed Spanish and indigenous population (Mestizo).

These bureaucrats only remained in Latin America so that they could return to Spain with more respect and with a higher rank. The next category of people were the criollos, or the direct descendants of the original conquistadors who settled Latin America. This group was named criollos to imply that they were more "local" and not "real Spaniards" born on the Iberian peninsula. The criollos often felt misunderstood by the peninsular bureaucrats who were attempting to apply Spanish law to the different Latin American environment.

Abstract This paper looks at the public policy of R2P and humanitarian intervention abroad, which serves as a major drain on American resources and benefits a foreign country more than it does the U.S. The money spent on these wars waged under the banner of R2P could be better spent on projects at home. The solution to this flawed policy is to address the elephant in the room, which is the
Lack of Freedoms and Limited Opportunities of Women and Native Americans for the Period from 1492-1867 in America Introduction The year 1492 counts as the starts of colonization in America.
