Describe Cajamarca

A guide to 72 hours in Cajamarca, Peru Cajamarca is a large city nestled in the hills on your way to chachapoyas or Trujillo. Once a major city for the Inca, it's now mostly a gold mining town, and the second largest producer of milk in Peru. History is everywhere in and around the city, as is trash and petty crime. While the more affluent Locals or visitors are welcoming to foreigners or indifferent at best, there runs a large undercurrent of animosity towards “Gringos”. Not as welcoming as many of its nearby cities, you immediately feel like an unwelcome outsider, and stay that way your entire visit.

When the Spanish were in the Americas they discovered large silver deposits in modern-day Mexico, similarly the Portuguese found plentiful silver mines in modern-day Peru. The combination of these two mines produced 80% of all the world silver at that time. This huge discovery of silver started a lust for silver among the rich, and economic opportunity for Merchants. The merchants were the ones that profited the most in the silver trade. Spain didn’t have the ships to transport all the silver, so merchants would transport it and resell the silver for more.

Though the exchange of gold nuggets and gold dust has boomed the economy and changed trade, there were also very significant trade through buying claims and trading supplies during the Klondike Gold Rush. It has been reported that over 1,139,000 (1000 million in today’s money) dollars worth of gold has been brought back from the Klondike. This mass response has led to hundreds of thousands of prospectors to the Klondike region. However, the average prospector spent around 342 dollars more than the money an average miner had earned, causing a decline in economical profit through the Klondike Gold Rush. Selling claims contributed

Leading up to the silver trade, the majority of Spanish coinage

The problem is that we don't know the effects on the Americas based on the documents we are given. The discovery of vast quantities of silver in the Andes affected natives instantly. The social effects include things such as the enslavement of natives and colonization of Europeans in new areas. The economy could have flourished due to the direct contact with silver and Europeans bringing goods with them or the economy could have horribly crashed since all of the silver was being carted away to the motherlands and not staying in the Americas. We wouldn't know without outside knowledge or further research.

The more popular it becomes to be healthier the more the prices of fruits and vegetables rise. No matter where you are in the world the healthy food will usually cost a lot more than the unhealthy food.

Most people are always on the go, moving fast which makes it harder to find time to prepare healthy meals.

The cause of inequality ranges from a series of mediums form social status to gender and even race. While education is caked with large portions of inequality, the biggest play it remains shrouded from the public eye is in the very core of our government itself. To be more specific there is a constant rising unjust distribution of taxation going on in the government taking place amongst those who make outrageously high amounts of money. Krugman informs us regarding hedge fund managers, and how they basically receive a “unconscionable tax break” that “ these managers- some of whom make more than a billion dollars a year get to have most of their earnings taxed at the capital gains rate, which is only 15 percent, even as other high earners pay a 35 percent rate,”(568). Blatant tax evasion occurring right at the core of our own government, and perhaps depicts perhaps the biggest example of inequality in our country today.

Many people came from all around the world hoping to get rich by finding gold. Conditions were rough and dangerous. The government put expensive taxes on the gold miners (30 shillings a month or £8 a year), and even if they did not find gold they still had to pay for a licence. The miners thought this was unfair and worked

Attention getting device: Using sun protection was about as important to me as… …… In other words, it was the farthest thing from my mind. Then one weekend at a soccer tournament, I decided not to use sunscreen or any other sun protections and stayed outside in the sun all day without protection that left with me with a painful sunburn and blisters on my shoulders.

Imagine you are running behind schedule due to heavy traffic, but finally arrive onto campus with mere minutes to spare. You avoided road rage to suddenly notice that there is no where you can possibly park. If you have not had the pleasant opportunity to experience such a stressful scenario, then you are very fortunate. However, if you have experienced the hassle of overcrowded parking lots, then you are aware and can relate to the issues of this matter. The campus parking lots are utilized by both faculty, staff, and students for the duration of that day, but by night the lots are as a deserted island inhabited by only those that reside on campus.

However, L.A. did not even need the water which ties in to Reisner’s statement about transporting water to unneeded places. More and more politicians began to commit illegal crimes for water usage and eventually, the Edmonston pumps were created. These pumps, aqueducts, and irrigation used throughout the chapter further illustrates the fabrication of California’s lush greenery and the amount of water we are using to preserve this distorted

the Preemption and Homestead acts; government subsidies) encourages western migration and expansion leading to the claim of most of the Owens Valley land. Owens Valley (in the north) was now filled with cattle ranchers, canals and ditches to support irrigation systems for farming, and mines (in the south). The mines were the books next example of conflict, the first after the shift from Paiute to white dominance of the land. Mining became a multimillion-dollar industry for the valley, but county residents did not benefit by either jobs or retail trade to the mining industry. The Union Mining Company (owned by two individuals) controlled virtually all of the mining operations, exported the raw materials (in this case largely silver), and imported the materials needed to maintain mining operations.

Although the Columbian Exchange supplied Spain with limitless wealth in the silver industry, the presences of both the Europeans and the Africans caused a wide-spread outbreak of diseases across the Atlantic World. Because the Native Americans had no immunities to deadly diseases such as small pox, these epidemics spread at an alarming rate. Entire towns perished without anyone left to bury the deceased.

Gold mining had reached its peak by 1852. More than $80 million in gold had been pulled from mines (Encyclopedia.com, 2015). Even though the gold rush was not profitable for all who came to California, the gold rush reshaped the demographics of California because people from Asia and other parts of the world traveled to California and the population rose. In 1848, James Marshall discovered gold while constructing a mill for John Sutter (Encyclopedia.com, 2015).
