Students will create a Flipgrid about ONE of the Modern Day Issues.docxmarilynnhoare
: Students will create a Flipgrid about ONE of the Modern Day Issues facing Latin America today. Students will write a script using the organizer below & record a Flip grid on which issue poverty, war on drugs, or migration, is the biggest problem facing Latin America today. Students should use two (2) facts from the article to back up their opinion.
Modern Latin America As you read, look for u the impact on political and social life resulting from the rule of dictators; u the war on drugs in Latin America and its impact on the United States; u the impact of poverty on the people of Latin America; u migration patterns across the Americas; u terms: dictator, drug cartel, Pathways to Prosperity in the Americas, migration. Dictators and Democracy Governments in Latin America have often had times of instability since they gained independence. Many have been ruled by military leaders or dictators (people who rule with total authority, often in a harsh way). During the Cold War, the United States feared the influence of the Soviet Union in the western hemisphere. This resulted in the United States supporting leaders who were not always democratically chosen in fair elections. Democratic systems have spread, however, in the past few decades. The United States and Europe have provided models of stable government that have been used to design more democratic governments in Latin America. Top Right: Simón Bolívar was a 19thcentury soldier who played a role in revolutions against Spanish rule in several South American countries. The nation of Bolivia is named for him. Above: Augusto Pinochet ruled as dictator of Chile from 1973 to 1990. Left: This mural commemorates students who protested against the government of Nicaragua. The students were killed by soldiers as they demanded improvements in their education system. Section 3: Modern Latin America 329One example of a Latin American dictator was Augusto Pinochet of Chile. This general ruled Chile for 17 years. Many believed Pinochet was able to keep communists from taking over the country, but others viewed him as a cruel leader who disrespected the rights of anyone who opposed him. Another example is the Somoza family of Nicaragua. This dictatorial family was in power for over 40 years. During their rule, the family grew wealthy while most of the country was in poverty. Even when elections were allowed, the family remained in power until the last leader was assassinated in 1980. Even though elections are held in most Latin American countries today, there is widespread poverty, and liberal and socialist leaders dominate politics. Many of the leaders oppose the United States and win support from voters by blaming US policies for problems in their country. The War on Drugs The war on drugs has been an ongoing battle in the United States and many Latin American countries. Drugs such as marijuana and heroin have been illegally brought to the United States, althoug.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Caribbean influences on extra regional countries
1.
2. The influence of the society and culture of the Caribbean
on extra–regional countries has been identified in a number
of areas, these include:
Politics
Economics
Culture
3. The most organized group of the Caribbean nationals in
the US are the Cubans and they have had significant
influence on the US politics because of their number and
economic power. They represent a major voting bloc in
South Florida. They have been credited with:
“forcing” lawmakers to maintain and strengthen the
trade embargo against Cuba (key legislations the Helms-
Burtons Act 1996)
The creation of radio Marti, with the expressed
intention to undermine the communist system in Cuba
through the flow of information.
4.
5. The political impact of Haitians is limited largely because
they are divided along class lines. In Miami, Haitians act
as a voting bloc. The Haitian Refugee Center has used the
issue of the ‘boatpeople’ to mobilize the Haitian
community and to bring a number of legal actions against
the US government.
The increased flow of migrants and the extent of narco-
trafficking to N. America and Europe from the Caribbean
have resulted in the enactment of more stringent
immigration and surveillance measures such as:
a reversal of a decades old policy on the repatriation of
Cuban asylum seekers.
increased cost to obtain visas or imposing visa
requirement on some Caribbean countries (countries that
enjoy Canada’s visa waiver are Antigua and Barbuda, St.
Lucia, St. Vincent, St. Kitts and Nevis, Barbados and The
Bahamas).
6.
7. deportation to home countries of aliens convicted of
crimes.
the Ship rider Agreement that allows the US
Coastguard to pursue suspected drug traffickers in
Caribbean waters.
intelligence sharing and the splitting of proceeds
from successful indictment of drug traffickers.
8. Caribbean people are found in many countries around the world.
Their presence impacts immensely on the culture on the host
countries.
The large presence of Cubans living in Florida for example provides
a powerful pressure to lobby the US government to formulate
policies designed to destabilize the Fidel Castro led communist
regime of Cuba. It seems as though these Cubans have deliberately
taken up residence as close to Cuba as possible so as to remain a
political force in pursuing the end of Castro’s communist reign.
Haitians also live in Florida however their illegal entry has become
a little disturbing for the us immigration authorities and so has
caused them to tighten their security. This has become an
international issue forcing the us to be more accommodating and so
significantly influencing its immigration and foreign policies towards
refugees.
9.
10. Wherever Caribbean people reside there have always
been issues affecting them. There large numbers
provide political votes that will be sought after
prospective political representatives and so are
therefore able to influence their domestic politics to
further their interests in these metropolis cities. Many
of these issues involve immigration policies, refugee
status, deportation, work permits etc. Canada has
recently changed its immigration policies to
accommodate the large number of Trinbagonians staying
there and so an expensive visa and an interview will be
needed to be obtained unlike before where none of this
existed.
11. The Caribbean depends heavily on extra-regional
countries particularly the US for its economic survival.
Nevertheless, it has positively influenced the larger
economies in areas such as:
trade: the Caribbean is the 10th largest importer of US
goods and services and created thousands of jobs in
export businesses (Mohammed 2007).
festivals: thousands of jobs and millions of dollar and
pounds in revenues are generated from the Caribbean-
derived Nottinghill Carnival in London and Canada’s
Caribbean.
labour: there are formal government to government
arrangements under which Caribbean nationals provide
service in the agricultural and domestic work sectors
12.
13.
14.
15. Caribbean people provide both skilled and low skilled
labour abroad and so contributes to the development
of the economy and as well there have been increase
remitting of foreign goods so the economy abroad has
been growing but at the expense of the Caribbean
economy. There has also been an increase in money
laundering and drug trafficking.
16. Caribbean cultural forms and expressions have
penetrated international markets and gained
acceptance. The impact of Caribbean music largely
reggae and to some extent soca, is felt mainly in the
urban centers of large cities such as New York and
London. Reggae has been used to:
omarket Levi jeans (Bombastic)
ocreate an online course ‘ The Rhetoric of Reggae’ at
the University of Vermont.
17.
18. Reggae has been the vehicle that transported
Rastafarian beliefs and lifestyle to the wider world.
Rastafarian communities and reggae are to be found on
every continent.
The steel-pan was also transported to developed
countries with the migrants. Currently, in N.America
steel-band music is part of the curriculum, while the
tuning of pan is a growing skill that has the potential to
contribute to the economic development of this region.
One association, Pan European, is assuming the
responsibility for creating a network to promote the
development of pan in Europe. The steel-pan is also
incorporated into forms of music like rap.
19.
20. Caribbean cuisine competes with those of other ethnic
groups in the urban centers in metropolitan countries.
While companies like Golden Crust and Caribbean Food
Delight have become big business in the US, Caribbean
food caters mainly to the taste of Caribbean populations
but remains a specialty to native populations particularly
those who have visited the Caribbean or who have close
association with Caribbean nationals.
