Spanish
One of the things that I find to be most interesting is how widely dispersed Spanish is. I had to look up Malabo -- Africa! I did not know that there were Spanish speakers in Africa. So for me, this was quite interesting. But the exercise on page 24 also highlighted that just because a country is Spanish-speaking does not mean that everybody speaks Spanish. People in these countries often have complex histories, and many other regional languages are spoken. You can see this in Mexico, too, where in many parts of the country there are native groups that speak their own language. This is the case in a lot of Spanish-speaking countries.
So this is something that one has to bear in mind when dealing with Spanish-speaking people. One must remember that the Spanish-speaking world is very large, and diverse. Even people from Spain might otherwise speak a different language, and have a unique culture. We know that the Basque people are very different from the Castilian. Throughout Latin America, native groups speak languages that are nothing like Spanish, and some of them like those descended from the Maya or Inca have very strong cultural traditions and identities. It is also...
The experience of a Cuban-American from Miami is quite different from a Mexican living in a Texas border town, for example. So while one would not be expected to be an expert on these differences, it is wise to remember that there are difference. When learning Spanish, one must keep in mind that you are learning basically one type of Spanish, a sort of generic version of the language, and that some things will be different in other parts of the world. All the different variations of Spanish might be unfamiliar to native speakers, let alone anybody else. Just think of it in terms of English -- how different do Jamaicans, Scottish or Australians sound from us, yet they all are speaking the exact same language. The exercises were great at highlighting the diversity of Spanish and Spanish-speaking people.
Projects
The best approach to project selection is to evaluate projects without bias. That means examining them based on their net present value (not ROI) and choosing the project(s) that combined add the most value to the company. This philosophy is not about…

In fact, despite the letter from Fra Motolina, the encomienda system may have been slowed down, but it was not eradicated. The actual plight of the Indian populations was not improved, and the manner in which the Spaniards continued to view the populations and their conditions, based typically on economic class and what those in question could offer, remained quite imperialistic.

Joseph Perez's Spanish Inquisition: A History Anyone familiar with the inquisition would know that this is the story of 350 years of dread. Recognized by papal bull in the year of 1478, the initial job of the Spanish Inquisition was geared at interrogating Jewish converts to become Christians and to detect and put to death the ones that were being found guilty of relapse. It was a unusually dark period where
About 140 Irish rebels were drowned as they tried to cross the Blackwater, and another 200 Irish were "lost in the river Moy and at Owen Abbey" (McGurk, 20). The defeat of the Irish rebels took just two hours, according to McGurk's reckoning, and clearly the English had prevailed which made Mountjoy a hero because so many previous English attacks had failed. Notwithstanding their victory, the English lost a
" Although a similar situation regarding sexual deviance, sex between males was deemed a far more serious crime than mere masturbation. In fact, many states in the United States still have laws on the books that make sodomy, of any kind, illegal. This demonstrates that the traditions of colonial America and religious beliefs have continued to be passed down to this day, even in fully developed nations. Yet, the case
This is, in fact, the basis of colonization as the natives are subdued and forced to abandon their language and traditions in favor of the colonizers'. Critics who supported the thesis of "The Tempest" being a description of the Spaniards' experience in the Americas considered Caliban to be a Native American despite the multitude of details that differentiate him from the Indians as they were described in the travelers' reports
