    A revolution is “a forcible overthrow of a government or social order in favor of a new system.” There have been countless revolutions throughout history but the American Revolution in particular is more commonly known about in the United States. Although more nationally known, the American Revolution wasn’t the only group of European colonists to rise up against their distant rulers during their time. In the early 19th century, many colonies in South America rose up against Spanish rule for many reasons similar to the colonies in the North who revolted against the British. Ideology, geopolitics, and material interests encouraged the rebellions in both the American and Latin American independence movements. While very similar in cause, each revolution occurred in different ways and was influenced by different leaders. Thomas Jefferson was a prominent leader of the American Revolution while Jose de San Martín was a significant figure in the independence movement for Latin America. Both Jefferson and San Martín had similar motives of leading their people to independence, but took different courses of action in doing so.…

    Passion is known as the strong emotion that motivates us to move beyond our comfort zones to achieve the potential that resides within us. Passion is a powerful driving force. Reason is the capacity of conciencely making sense of things also known as logic. Reason or logic, is the foundation of rationality. The real question is, does passion and emotion overcome the logic behind people's concience? Precisely. Daniel Golman, the author of Emotional Intelligence, once stated," Imagine placing a plank of wood on the ground and walking it's length a few times. It is easy enough. But suppose you placed it a hundred feet in the air between two buildings. You know you can walk the plank. You did it over and over again. Yet now the emotion kicks in. The what-ifs and unconcience mind supercede the concrete knowedge of your ability to walk the plank. At the end, you don't walk." Emotion has the ability to overcome reasoning, because it brings fear, memories, close-ties to the situation, and the famous what-ifs a.k.a, doubt. Bringing those forces, can cause anyone to collapse, and follow the leader, the one who could conquer what was suppose to make sense, leaving people in perplexity and doubtful of their own reactions and thoughts. Plus, it emotion takes less effort. So yes, emotion does overcome logic and reason. The overcoming of emotion is intense and very common, leaving prints all over history, in literature, but the best way to actually understand is to experience it on your own, and that's exactly what I did.…
