My favorite two places to live United States and Dominican Republic are two extremely different countries. I have being living in United States since 2011 and before that I use to live in Dominican Republic, where I burn. United State bring the economic security that Dominican Republic maybe never will and my country give me the liberty to live a life style of go out every day without worry of tomorrow.

Dominican Republic wins overwhelmingly on United State on lifestyles. In my country you wake up and its music everywhere in contrast with this country. You walk out of your house and everybody have loud music, giving you salutes, knowing all the peoples of your neighborhood. Compared to United States, where you don’t even know your next door neighbors, it’s a big contrast, you can live in the same place for years and you haven’t fraternize with nobody else that your landlord. Dominicans are always happy, smiling and making jokes, dissimilar to Americans that not even smile at you when you walk to them in the supermarket. We love to dance on the street; we even have a song that says that, unlike USA, that if you’re dancing on the street you become a parade for other people. We love our culture and we’re very knowledge of our own history.

The climate is lovely in Dominican island; the temperature is always around 75 to 80 degrees, the whole year long, although United State has some states that maintain this temperature, like Miami, it’s not something that characterize the entire country. In United State you can find places that have temperatures of 80 degrees and other that are under 0 degree. It’s a country with a large variety of climates on the contrary of Dominican Republic, that it’s the same temperature everywhere. You can find a couple of places that maintain lower temperatures; 60 or 50 degrees, but it’s only in two cities: Constanza and Jarabacoa. You can have the best of the different seasons

    The Holocaust in a whole is about people trying to survive. Both “Broken Glass, Broken Lives” and “A Survivor Remembers” tell a story about a survival, only each story has a different survival. In the story “Broken Glass, Broken Lives” by Arnold Geier the general topic is to escape while he still can. The general topic in “A Survivor Remembers” is going day by gruesome day till you can’t anymore. These topics are different but yet the same; they both deal with some sort of survival. Mister Geier in “Broken Glass, Broken Lives” survives not being taken by the Nazis and avoids the terrifying events that could have happened to him but have happened to millions of others. Berek Laturas in “A Survivor Remembers” is a different kind of survivor. He went through all of the horrible events of the Holocaust but somehow by the end of the war he survived it all, which six million others didn’t. The occasion of both stories is almost the same. They both took place in Germany and during the Hitler era. However in “Broken Glass, Broken Lives” it was only at the rise of Hitler, “A Survivor Remembers” was throughout all the events of the Holocaust.…

The national language is Spanish; however, English is also spoken. As of 2012, the census population was 10.24 million (Nations of the World 532). It took a while for the country to reach this number since it was not inhabited until 1492. This was when Christopher Columbus was sent on a journey to Hispaniola.

    The island of Hispaniola, which Dominicans share with Haitians, is considered to be the cradle of blackness in the Americas. It was one of the first territories that colonizers brought African slaves to labor. Since then, there has always been a dispute between the two sides of the island. One side defending the ideology of European heritage while the other side stands to beliefs and practices of African descendants. There has always been a clear distinction, culture shock, different traditions and beliefs due to the divergence of ideologies that each country pursues. Dominican Republic is one of the most typical cases where a country generates, simultaneously, emigration and immigration. Apart from being a country of about 10 million people with a weak economy that has led to the exit and establishment of communities of millions of Dominicans in other parts of the world, particularly the United States and Spain, its insertion in the global market, openness to foreign investment and the…

    The nation did not enjoy full independence until 1844, when it emerged from twenty-two years of occupation by Haiti; this liberation came later than that of most Latin American countries. (Haggerty). The Dominican Republic has faced many hardships and continues to come out being an independent country. “It has been estimated that the country's total population in mid-1990 will total slightly more than 7 million. Growth had been high since official census taking began in 1920. The rate peaked during the 1950s at 3.6 percent per year. During the 1960s and the 1970s, the population grew at 2.9 percent annually; by the mid-1980s, the rate was thought to be roughly 2.5 percent.” (Haggerty). In the past four decades the birth rate has severely decreased due to woman using contraceptives, because the population is so large in the Dominican Republic there is a high need for education. Education is the most important building blocks in every person’s life, without education you cannot get a real career and build a life.…
