Cultural genocide exists in Mexico‚ and I am not referring to the McDonalds that has taken over the local taco vender‚ or even Starbucks - now on practically every corner- engulfing the national coffee brand; I am referring to the institutional‚ societal and scholarly misrepresentation of the African presence in Mexico.

Could the ISS clinic do with a less complicated less sophisticated system? Yes. They could revert back to using the MOH system of collecting data on paper-based forms and storing them in files in the record room.

During the Armenian genocide there was a loss of 1‚500‚000 lives. By 1923‚ the entire landmass of Asia minor and historic Armenia had been erased or removed completely of its population of Armenians. The amount of lives loss left a devastating mark on the Armenian culture‚ and almost completely demolished the Armenian culture‚ forever. Although the Turkish government kept the genocide of the Armenians secret from the rest of the world‚ the genocide was still a result of an unethical society because
