SS6G4 culture of latin america
The document discusses how colonization led to cultural blending in Latin America and the Caribbean. When Europeans colonized the region, they conquered the native civilizations and forced many indigenous people into slavery or poverty. This led to the blending of European, African, and Native American ethnic groups and cultures over time through intermarriage between the groups. While Latin American culture today is proud of its diverse heritage, there are still some social inequalities that exist along ethnic lines.
Culture and politics of latin america
Latin America is ethnically diverse, with populations descended from indigenous peoples, Europeans, Africans, and immigrants from various parts of the world. While over 90% of Latin Americans are Catholic due to European colonization, the region has a history of European exploitation of resources and peoples, including the genocide of millions of Native Americans and enslavement of Africans over 300 years. In the 19th century, disease and violence had wiped out much of the indigenous population. Some countries gained independence in the early 19th century through wars of liberation against European powers, but economic and political instability continued until recent decades. Regional differences exist, such as Brazil's growing economy versus Bolivia's poverty.

- The Spanish conquered the Inca Empire in the 1530s and sought to establish large estates on the western side of South America. They forced the local populations to work these lands and European diseases devastated Indian populations.
- The Portuguese settled the eastern coast of South America, establishing sugar and brazilwood plantations that relied on enslaved African labor after European diseases reduced Indian populations. Most South American countries gained independence in the early 19th century.
The Melting Pot
The document summarizes the concept of the "melting pot" used to describe American immigration and the ideal of different ethnic groups assimilating into a unified American culture. However, in reality racism, cultural heterogeneity, intolerance, and segregation created divisions. Solutions proposed included Americanization to promote English and civic values while also accepting "hyphenated Americans" who maintain aspects of their ethnic identity.
Ethnic And Racial Groups In The Us
The document discusses racial and ethnic groups in the United States, including African Americans, Hispanic Americans, and Asian Americans. It notes that minority groups have faced various forms of discrimination and difficulties gaining acceptance and equality in US society.

Latinamericanculture
This document discusses the diversity of Latin American culture. It notes that Latin America's cultures vary significantly by region due to differing histories, languages, customs, beliefs, foods, and music. The cultures also show diversity in race, with significant populations of European, African, and Native American descent. Native Americans originally inhabited the region but many populations were wiped out by European diseases and weapons after colonization in the 1500s. Some native cultures survived by moving to remote areas. Today, Latin American cultures show the blending of European, African, and Native American influences in aspects like religion, art, music, food, dance, and language. There remains social and economic inequality along racial lines in many Latin American countries. [/SUMMARY]
Latin american-culture-cloze-notes
Latin American culture is diverse, with each region having its own history, languages, customs, beliefs, foods, music, and more. The major ethnic groups that make up Latin America are Europeans, Native Americans, and Africans, who have intermingled over time to develop unique blended cultures. While Europeans colonized the Americas starting in the 15th century and forced Native Americans to work on plantations and in mines, wiping out many populations, some Native American cultures survived by moving to remote regions. Africans were also brought over as slaves to work on sugarcane plantations, and their descendants still live in parts of Latin America today. The dominant religion is Roman Catholicism, but Native American and African religious practices have blended
American2019.2.2
The document provides an overview of American culture and some key aspects of studying American culture, including:
- American culture values individuality and independence, with direct communication styles and an emphasis on timeliness.
- The U.S. was historically described as a "melting pot" but is now seen as more of a "salad bowl," where different cultures maintain their identities within American society.
- Key aspects of American culture include an emphasis on self-reliance, assertiveness, and the belief that hard work leads to success. Punctuality and respect are highly valued in communication and social interactions.
Islam in South America
Muslims have had a long presence in Latin America, with the largest populations found in Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela, Suriname, and Guyana. Three waves of Muslims immigrated - as African slaves, with the Spanish, and later from the Middle East. While Muslims make up only a small minority, Islam has been practiced in the region for centuries. The religion blended with the cultural influences of native peoples and European colonizers. Today, the values of Islam around family, education, and modesty continue in Latin American Muslim communities of varying sizes across the continent.

Folk and Popular Culture
Culture and Customs
• People living in other
locations often have
extremely different
social customs.
• Geographers ask why
such differences exist
and how social customs
are related to the
cultural landscape.
Folk and Popular Culture
• The Key Issues are:
1. Where do folk and
popular cultures originate
and diffuse?
2. Why is folk culture
clustered?
3. Why is popular culture
widely distributed?
4. Why does globalization of
popular culture cause
problems?
Material Culture
Material artifacts of
culture are the visible
objects that a group
possesses and leaves
behind for the future.
• Here we look at two
facets of material
culture.
1) Survival activities.
2) Leisure activities
• The arts
• Recreation.
Material Culture Defined
• Culture can be
distinguished from habit
and custom.
– A habit is a repetitive act
that a particular individual
performs.
– A custom is a repetitive act
of a group.
• A collection of social
customs produces a
group’s material culture.
Folk vs. Popular Culture
• Folk culture is
traditionally practiced
primarily by small,
homogeneous groups
living in isolated rural
areas.
• Popular culture is found
in large, heterogeneous
societies.
Folk vs. Popular Culture Continued
• Landscapes dominated by a
collection of folk customs
change relatively little over
time.
• In contrast, popular culture
is based on rapid
simultaneous global
connections.
• Thus, folk culture is more
likely to vary from place to
place at a given time,
whereas popular culture is
more likely to vary from
time to time at a given
place.
Effects of Popular Culture
• In Earth’s globalization, popular
culture is becoming more
dominant, threatening the
survival of unique folk cultures.
• The disappearance of local folk
customs reduces local diversity
in the world and the intellectual
stimulation that arises from
differences in background.
• The dominance of popular
culture can also threaten the
quality of the environment.
Issue 1: Origins and Diffusion of
Folk and Popular Cultures
• Origin of folk and popular cultures
– Origin of folk music
– Origin of popular music
• Diffusion of folk and popular cultures
– The Amish: Relocation diffusion of folk culture
– Sports: Hierarchical diffusion of popular culture
Origin of Folk and Popular Cultures
• A social custom originates at a
hearth, a center of innovation.
• Folk customs often have
anonymous hearths.
• They may also have multiple
hearths.
• Popular culture is most often a
product of the economically
more developed countries.
• Industrial technology permits
the uniform reproduction of
objects in large quantities.
Folk Music
• Music exemplifies the
differences in the origins of
folk and popular culture.
• Folk songs tell a story or
convey information about
daily activities such as
farming, life-cycle events

Native American oral traditions were the primary form of literature until being written down in the 1800s. Myths were used to explain aspects of the world and society and often involved supernatural elements. Creation myths in particular varied between cultures but sought to explain how the world began. Oral traditions helped pass down the languages and stories of tribes from generation to generation before European arrival.

The largest wave was after WWII and communism took control of Albania. Today there are over 193,000 Albanian Americans living in the US, with the largest populations in New York, Michigan, and Illinois. Albanian Americans work to maintain their cultural traditions through schools, festivals, dance groups, and radio programs. Their culture is influenced by patriarchy, blood feuds, and the Kanun legal code.

Ga doe gandhi_lesson
Gandhi's belief in non-violent protest shaped India greatly. His leadership of non-violent movements against British rule influenced India to gain independence. Non-violent protests, including strikes and civil disobedience, put pressure on the British to leave. As a result of Gandhi's influential advocacy of non-violence, India was able to achieve self-rule through non-violent means rather than armed conflict.
Ss7 h3.a independence_of_india
Nationalism in India grew in the 1800s as the British imposed unfair economic and political policies on Indians. This led groups like the Indian National Congress and Muslim League to call for independence. Mohandas Gandhi advocated non-violent civil disobedience, which put pressure on the British economy. After World War 2, Britain granted India independence in 1947, but religious disputes led to the partition of India and Pakistan.
Ss7 h3.a independence_of_india
Gandhi led non-violent protests in India against British rule through civil disobedience and the famous Salt March. Nationalism grew in India in the 1800s as the British exploited the nation's resources and people. Gandhi's tactics of non-compliance with unfair laws through boycotts and refusal to pay taxes put economic pressure on Britain and eventually led to India gaining independence in 1947 after World War II, though the country was partitioned along religious lines into India and Pakistan.
Ethnic groups
Ethnic groups are defined by shared language and culture, often including shared values and religion. Religious groups are defined by a common belief system. Literacy rates and poverty rates are closely linked - countries with higher literacy rates tend to have lower poverty rates and better standards of living. Literacy rates also affect economic development, with illiteracy limiting job opportunities and higher literacy allowing for more skilled jobs.
Geogeaphy of eastern asia[1]
The document summarizes key geographic features of Southern and Eastern Asia, including major rivers such as the Ganges, Huang He (Yellow River), Indus, Mekong, and Yangtze rivers.

Unit 5 posttest b study guide answers
The document contains a posttest with multiple choice questions and answers about independence movements in India and Vietnam, key events and leaders related to decolonization, and political and economic systems like nationalism, communism, and the Cold War. Specifically, it asks about Gandhi's nonviolent protests, leaders like Ho Chi Minh, the partitioning of Korea and Vietnam after WWII, and conflicts like the Korean and Vietnam Wars that arose due to Cold War tensions between the US and Soviet Union.
Independence in vietnam
China controlled Vietnam for nearly 1000 years until 939. After independence from China, Vietnam thrived as an advanced culture until the late 1800s when France colonized it. The end of WWII marked the beginning of Vietnam's fight for independence from France under Ho Chi Minh. It took 8 years of fighting but the French were defeated in 1954. The US then entered to fight on the side of South Vietnam against Ho Chi Minh's North Vietnam, but ultimately withdrew in 1975 after failing to contain the spread of communism.
Trade barriers
This document discusses trade barriers such as tariffs and quotas that countries impose on imports. Tariffs are taxes on imported goods that raise their prices, making domestic goods more competitive. Quotas limit the quantity of imports allowed, creating shortages that also raise prices of imported goods. While trade barriers protect domestic industries and jobs, they ultimately hurt consumers by reducing competition and choice, and raising the costs of goods. Most economists agree that free trade is better for economic growth.
Ss gr 7 economics us
There are three basic types of economic systems: traditional, command, and market. Most textbooks say the most common system throughout the world is a mixed system, which is a blending of characteristics from different basic systems rather than being a distinct system itself. Real-world countries exhibit mixtures of market and command features to varying degrees.
Three+middle+eastern+economies+presentation+israel+saudi+arabia+and+turkey+fi...
There are three basic types of economic systems: traditional, command, and market. Most textbooks say the most common system worldwide is a mixed system on a continuum between pure market and pure command. Israel has a market system oriented economy focused on high tech and services. Saudi Arabia has a command system focused on oil with government involvement in other industries. Turkey has moved toward more private enterprise but still has some government direction, placing it farther left on the continuum than Israel or Saudi Arabia.

Entrepreneurship involves starting new businesses to meet market needs or opportunities. Successful entrepreneurs help economies grow by creating new products/services, jobs, and tax revenue. While risky, entrepreneurship drives innovation.
Factorsofproduction 111018195637-phpapp02[1]
This document discusses the four factors of production that influence economic growth: investment in human capital, investment in capital goods, natural resources, and entrepreneurship. It explains that the presence or absence of these four factors determine a country's gross domestic product. Nations that invest in education and training will have a more productive workforce that can boost technological advances and GDP. Economic growth is measured by increases in GDP over time and is influenced by a country's resources and investments in physical and human capital.
Ss gr 7 economics us
This document provides information for 6th and 7th grade teachers on economic systems, including:
1) There are three basic types of economic systems: traditional, command, and market.
2) Most textbooks state that the most common system throughout the world is a mixed system, which is a blending of two different types of systems rather than its own type.
3) It includes charts showing the percentage of command and market-based economies for several countries based on an index from The Heritage Foundation.

Wound healing PPT
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
