Also it will describe the important elements and dimensions, religion, the government, and the people of Argentina, and what influential roles each of these elements play in the Argentinean culture and how those roles are translated into the economy. In addition to talking about Argentina, this essay will also compare the Argentinean social and business culture to that of the United States. While comparing the two countries, it will be discussed how the development of these countries came about, the ethnic make-up of countries, how religion and politics are intertwined with each other, and how the values of each culture are translated in how business transactions are properly done in each country.

Major Elements and Dimensions
History of Argentina Before Argentina was affected by exploration, Argentina was a land of indigenous people which consisted of hunters, gathers, and farmers. Because of its isolation, Argentina was able to escape outside influence. Around 16th century, Argentina was exploited for its nature resources and vast land (Reference, 2013). With the excitement of exploration, European countries began to expand their empires by invading Argentina and many other South America countries. Once counties were invaded, they were focused to adapt to the European culture, customs, and religion.
As Europe moved into Colonization Era, Spain wanted to capitalize on colonization. One reason for that was it saw how neighboring country Portugal colonized Brazil and it also wanted to be known as a European powerhouse as well. As a result Spain sent

    As the group read the article that we chose to focus on for this project, we came across various contrasting ideas that Foner has in his book and the ideas in the article itself. From the very beginning of the section where Foner speaks about the War of 1812, brutality that American’s used to gain the Indian territory is completely played down. The book does not go into an extent of what the American’s did to the Indians to strip them from their own possessions and rights. In the article, since it is from Indian perspective, the readers are able to gain insight on the brutality and pain that was casted upon the tribes. This being said, it is clear that because brutality is played down and not mentioned, that the book focuses more on the American view point than on the Indian’s. We also learned in the article that it was not just Shawnee and Tecumseh but also the Saux and Fox that were anti-American and wanted to go back to their traditional ways. The article stresses that going back to Indian ways was the right thing to do and these tribes wanted to fight for their independence. The Saux were more anti-American than the Fox because their land was taken by Americans but this still did not stop any of the tribes from wanting to go back to their homeland and roots. Lastly, another contrast that was found was the idea of different consequences of the war. Americans broke the power of the Indians and they also solidified the control of land east of the Mississippi River. While the Americans were making progress for themselves, Indian land was being taken away, tribes were being killed and Indian identity was being stripped from them. Although there were similarities found, Foner lacks to include all of these, and more, contrasting ideas in his book.…

    Europe was going through many changes in their country with the French Revolution introduced the idea of the nation-state as an organizing concept for politics, the rise of Liberalism, the Industrial Revolution changed how people worked and acquired goods, art and religion, and new techniques for communication and organization gave rise to the concept of "the masses" as a political and economic force. So that being said, Europe was pretty much seeking the many more changes and wanted to make that global if they could. While sailing, they found the Americas that had many fortunes that the Europeans couldn’t pass so Cortes manipulated his way in and ended up in war with the Spanish and won. They tried going back towards the Native people but had to leave due to a betrayal with the Aztecs, but one of his men got one of them infected with small pox and with time spread which caused death and the food supply ran very low so starvation. This is when Cortes took his opportunity and attacked the Aztecs and won. They eventually took over their lands and rebuilt a new empire.…

    Free trade was encouraged, New Spain was allowed to trade with the other colonies of Spain as long as it didn't compete or impede with the commerce of Spain. Of course Spain made sure to have a greater control on ports and products that were exported and imported. I believe that this was of huge importance due to that this allowed them to not only share products and recourses, they were now allowed to venture out and share ideas. More trade meant more taxation and even more taxes were charged.To avoid corruption in the collection of taxes consulados were put in charge of such recollection, this giving more control to Spain since the consulados reported directly to the king. This exploitation obviously was to the discontent of the merchants making some even retire from the profession. The new freedom to explore and the opening of new ports gave Spain a better position in the world of…
