Map of Jamaica showing Washington Gardens
I have been living in Washington Gardens for over two years. During this period I have noticed that there is infrequent water supply in the area. There is no special time if or when the water supply will go or come back. At times there can be a broken pipe in the community and that can take a while to fix leading to a shortage of water during maintenance. i have also observed that even when there is a leak the N.W.C would take a while to respond to the leakage

    The forces that contributed to the cultural makeup of early civilization varied amongst different cultures. Some of the forces that contributed to the makeup of early civilization would be geographical locations, demographic, agriculture, religion, culture/tradition, and the availability of natural resources. Civilizations develop when the environment of a region can support a large and productive population (Sayre, 2012 p. 2). For example, geography mainly contributed because it was a determining factor in what the culture would do such as farming and hunting for means of survival. But also in combination with this; religion would be one the most powerful contributor in early civilization, since it would determine on how the culture would live in specific geographical locations.…

These mountains mainly consist of limestone, where in the middle of the country the terrain is extreme and mostly inaccessible.

    The Taino (pronounced Tah-EE-no) were the first "American" Indigenous Peoples encountered by Christopher Columbus and other Europeans in the Caribbean Islands in 1492. The Taino are also the first Indigenous Peoples to be referred to as "Indians" (Indios) in the Western Hemisphere. The traditional territories of the Taino extended throughout the Greater Antilles, the Bahamas, and even the Southern tip of Florida. The word "Taino" means "good people" in their ancient language. A major part of their ancestral lineage comes from South America. These ancestors traveled up the islands of the Lesser Antilles and settled eventually in the islands of the Greater Antilles and the Bahamas. Another part of the ancestral Taino lineage comes from Central America and or Mexico. Taino culture was not entirely homogeneous but some of the most elaborate expressions of the culture was found in the Dominican Republic/Haiti and in Puerto Rico. While Taino people could generally communicate in a common language across the islands, there were some dialect differences. Descendants of these peoples still live throughout the Caribbean and beyond. The Taino were subsistence farmers growing food mainly for their own needs. Tainos in Hispaniola also blocked inland rivers to make artificial fish ponds. Yet, Tainos did not rely on field crops for all their food. The only domestic animal known to Tainos was a small dog which was fattened on maize meal and then eaten as a great delicacy. The simplest Tainos dish was ‘pepper pot’. Tainos feared to eat certain foods like; Mammy Apples which they believed were food for the souls of the dead. The Tainos also did pottery; dugout canoes were made with great skills without the aid of any metal tools. Some Tainos canoes were large enough to carry seventy or eighty people or a tonne of trading goods. The canoes made it possible for the Tainos to carry out some trade in cloth, tools, weapons, furniture, tobacco, certain fruits and…

    To an outsider sandy beaches, deep blue water, all inclusive resorts, and relaxing vacations are all synonymous with the Caribbean island of Jamaica. However, past all the natural beauty and enchantment of the island the residents there are faced with a very heavy and deadly burden. Approximately 112 miles from the ideal vacations resorts rest Jamaica 's capital, Kingston, one of the most homicidal ridden cities in the world, also known as a murder capital. Per capita Kingston has one of the highest violent crime rates in the world. These astronomical rates may be a result of several factors including poverty, retribution, drugs, politics, and most certainly the heavy presence of gangs. With approximately 268 total gang on the small island country the area has been traumatized by turf wars between feuding groups for years, and shows little to no sign of desuetude.1…
