My life before I came this country was in Cuba. But I decided to come for a better future for me, and my family. Immediately, when I have begun to live here, I could see the big differences between that’s countries. And I could note, compare, and contrast. For example, Life style before in Cuba was full of short comings, specially, for the young people. There are not some opportunities for then, even if they were graduated from college, it’s hard to face life in that corrupted, and destroyed society, in contrast, now in Miami, young people have a great opportunity

In traditional Dominican households, women are expected to play the submissive housewife role. The old-fashioned point of view is that a woman is to be a child bearer and care for her husband’s needs in every way. She is to cook, clean, care for her children and put her husband’s needs above hers. Specifically looking at the story “Fiesta 1980”, the portrayal of the women is shown when Yunior discloses his Papi’s affair with a Puerto Rican woman. “He didn’t say nothing to nobody, not even my moms. He just pushed past her, held up his hand when she tried to talk to him and headed right into the shower. Rafa gave me the look and I gave it back to him; we both knew Papi had been with that Puerto Rican woman he was seeing and wanted to wash off the evidence quick” (Diaz 23). This quote conveys the complications women face in the Dominican Republic but more ineptly, Drown. Extramarital affairs are not frowned upon because machismo lets men feel it is their right, in some cases their duty as men to receive pleasure from other women. Although Mami slightly knew about the affair her husband was having, she could not speak up about it because societal norms would not allow her to do so. A man who is seen with multiple partners is viewed as manly and strong, but a woman who has multiple partners is viewed as being
The Dominican Republic is a beautiful island located on a larger piece of land called Hispaniola. The tropical land takes up two-thirds of Hispaniola which equals out to be roughly 19,000 square miles, while its sister island, Haiti, takes up the rest. According to an article by world atlas, there are four significant mountain ranges. Lesser ranges cover the northern coastlines, and the southwestern border areas with Haiti (World Atlas). The Dominican Republic lies between the
According to Samuel Lagerlof “Culture is what remains when that which has been learned is entirely forgotten” (as cited in Usunied,1996, p.94). Every single country in the world possesses his own culture no culture is more important than another. They’re just different. However, Haiti’s culture differs from the United States in three major points; Values, religion, and norms.
Puerto is one of the Caribbean Islands it has a landscape of lush greenery. It has beautiful green mountains, waterfalls, and tropical rainforest. It is famous for its sandy beaches and coral reefs and very vulnerable to attack. Puerto Rico should become a state because it is already a US territory and an ally of the United States ,also it should become a state because Puerto Rico’s government has asked the US for it to make Puerto Rico a state numerous times. finally Puerto Rico should become a state because we can get a lot of money due to the large amount of tourist that go to the territory.

As I have said, even though Dominicans and Haitians share history and land, they both finished in a very different situation, so they differ in several aspects. People in each of these two countries have their own lifestyle according to their own thoughts, beliefs, culture, and government rules. However, both countries still been together as one because they are situated in the same island, but only divided by a barrier named border, which involves a physical and emotional border that has long separated

Haiti has lush green mountains, crisp waves, and silky smooth skies. It also has a population of approximately 10 million. Haiti is also very dependent on US products.

Soft and pleasant like the scent of fresh-cut grass. Sweet and compelling like an evening sunset. Crisp like the weather in the air. The road is a narrow and there are no cars in sight. It is more like a walking path, but I can see tire tracks on the lightly dirt road. The moment is very tranquil except for the sounds of birds singing, insects shrieking and mosquitoes buzzing. The mosquitoes are a real nuisance. There must be hundreds of them so there’s no point of striking them from left to right over and over again. The area seems to be vacant with no sight of human existence around. The only available sights of life seem to come from the emaciated dogs and cats wandering the streets. Up the path I can see a cumbersome animal. It appears to be moving sluggishly and unhurried. As I move closer up the path the large animal becomes clear, as I can now see that it is a cow crossing the street. This is not the scene that one would experience in New York City but I do imagine it to be the sights of “the land of many waters”, Guyana.
I was born in a Uruguayan family, and it couldn’t be any better. Both my mother and father were born and raised in Uruguay, and didn’t come to the United States until they were 21. For them, it wasn’t a normal stroll through the park, they had to face many challenges. My parents chose to pack up their things and leave their families behind to start a new chapter. Being a part of a Uruguayan family is such an incredible thing. Everything is different compared to the American lifestyle. Uruguay is such a unique country, where some people don’t even know it exists.

During the last two decades, sustainable economic growth has been observed in the Dominican Republic. While the annual GDP per capita was increasing by only 1.8 per cent in the whole Latin American region, the Dominican Republic has experienced the annual 4 per cent rise in the GDP per capita (ILO 1).
