...Cultural Research Paper- Bogota, Colombia In order to defy of the Spanish rule, the people of Bogota formed a council of representatives in the first steps toward independence on July 20, 1810. Only 3 years later, they proclaimed complete independence. After forming the Republic of Greater Columbia in 1819, they elected Simon Bolivar as the first president. Alongside Bolivar, as vice president, Francisco Paulo de Santander provided the Colombians with an opposing party, the “Liberals.” Bolivar and Santander serve as representatives for the two political parties that make up Colombia today, the Conservatives and Liberals. Bolivar’s followers believed in a centralized government with many ties to the Roman Catholic Church. The Vice President, in opposition, served the Liberals who believed in a decentralized government without church ties to civil and educational matters. No party has dominated the Columbian rule for a significant time period to this day. We see something very similar to two parties alternating leadership here in the United States with the Democrats and Republicans. The city of Bogota is known to have an older, high-class ambiance spread throughout the city. In fact, Bogota has grown very slowly culturally as a city since the historic value of homes, buildings, and other churches is very important to the people living there. However, Bogota is one of the fastest growing cities in South America in a continuous expansion with growing suburbs. Historically, the...

...and gentlemen, and welcome to this celebration of the Hispanic Heritage Month. It is my distinct honor to speak to you today. Hispanic culture is deeply intertwined with the history of this Nation. We live on the same side of the world with the largest Spanish speaking population due to our proximity to Mexico, Central, South America and the Caribbean. So it is important to recognize the contributions of the Hispanic culture as well as other cultures to celebrate and acknowledge how the history, culture, values and traditions of the United States were and continue to be shaped by the make-up of its ever changing population profile. When I started to think about what I would say, it occurred to me that perhaps I should do a little research and review history instead of presuming I know everything about my heritage. I am glad I did because I learned many facts that challenged my own understanding of history. I want to share some of these facts with you today. On September 1968, Congress authorized President Lyndon B. Johnson to proclaim National Hispanic Heritage Week, observed during the week that included Sept. 15 and Sept. 16. The observance was expanded in 1989 by Congress to a month long celebration (Sept. 15 – Oct. 15), America celebrates the culture and traditions of those who trace their roots to Spain, Mexico and the Spanish-speaking nations of Central America, South America and the Caribbean. Sept. 15 was chosen as the starting point for the celebration because...

F rom the villages of Sudan to the factories, sweatshops and brothels of India and South Asia, slavery and human trafficking still flourish. Some 27 million people worldwide are held in some form of slavery, forced prostitution or bonded labor. Some humanitarian groups buy captives’ freedom, but critics say that only encourages slave traders to seize more victims. Meanwhile, nearly a million people Abducted from her village in southern Sudan when she was 6 years old, Akuac Malong was enslaved in northern Sudan until she was freed at age 13. are forcibly trafficked across international borders annually and held in captivity. Even in the United States, thousands of women and children from overseas are forced to become sex workers. Congress recently strengthened the Trafficking Victims Protection Act, but critics say it is still not tough enough, and that certain U.S. allies that harbor traffickers are treated with “kid gloves” for political reasons.
