In the 1880 through the 1930 “greater affluence led to new economic opportunities and a larger and greater political stability in most countries, but the dependence upon exports also made Latin America subject to global economic forces over which it had no control.” (A Concise Introduction to Latin American Politics and Development P. 8) An example of this would be how many countries depended on only one crop (Sugar, Coffee, Bananas. It’s sad to say that if one of the crop decreased in value on the world market, the whole entire nation will suffer the consequences. (Latin American Politics p.8) Latin America started to become more fluent with their manufactures, this was the first largest Industrialization in the 1930s this was their way of thinking better for the…

Pieces from Isaiah Genesis, Psalm, and Jon that distinctly uses gendered (if not obvious) language to speak of Yahweh: God was a midwife, seamstress, housekeeper, nurse, mother” (Trible, 1973), a caretaker, which Trible points out are all feminize images used to describe God and what he did for his people, in the words of the Old Testament. She also argues that a masculine God was a societal formality rooted in an inaccurate imaginative portrayal of God.

    Colombia was inhabited by indigenous societies during what was known as the pre-Columbian period ("Background Note: Colombia," 2012). These indigenous societies consisted of hunters and nomadic farmers, as well as the Chibchas ("Background Note: Colombia," 2012). The Chibchas are known to be one of the most developed indigenous groups in all of South America ("Background Note: Colombia," 2012). Santa Marta was founded in 1525, which was the first permanent Spanish settlement ("Background Note: Colombia," 2012). Santa Fe de Bogota was founded in 1538, and in 1717 it became the capital of the Viceroyalty of New Granada ("Background Note: Colombia," 2012). The capital of New Granada is what is now Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, and Panama ("Background Note: Colombia," 2012). In 1808 Napoleon made his brother the new king of Spain and people in the Spanish colonies were not happy with it (Lambert, 2011). Citizens of Bogota created the first representative council against Spanish authority on July 20, 1810 ("Background Note: Colombia," 2012). In 1813 they got complete independence from Spain ("Background Note: Colombia," 2012). In 1819 Simon Bolivar defeated the Spanish in the war of Boyaca (Lambert, 2011).
