Child rearing and family structure within the Hispanic culture is noticeably different than what is present in the mainstream Western culture of today. One apparent difference is in gender roles. There exists a vastly different expectation in Hispanic culture for males and females. The male is considered to be the independent breadwinner, and the head of the household. Accordingly, the female role is one of submission and provider of childcare. In contrast, it is more than acceptable in Western culture for a female to maintain a non-traditional role. Hispanic culture additionally differs from Western culture in the traditional makeup of the family. Within Hispanic culture the extended family plays a huge role

The capital and largest city of Venezuela is Caracas (officially called Santiago de Leon de Caracas), which is home to nearly two million people. Venezuela was founded on July-5-1811.

Venezuela was one of the richest countries that emerged from the collapse of Gran Colombia in 1830 (the others being Colombia and Ecuador). For most of the first half of the 20th century, Venezuela was ruled by generally benevolent military strongmen, who promoted the oil industry and allowed for some social reforms. Democratically elected governments have held sway since 1959. Current concerns include: a polarized political environment, a politicized military, drug-related violence along the Colombian border, increasing internal drug consumption, overdependence on the petroleum industry with its price fluctuations, and irresponsible mining operations that are endangering the rain forest and indigenous peoples.
Costa Rica is covered in huge jungles. Reminding me of the movie Tarzan, the jungles are full of monkeys, macaws, and many other curious creatures. Another interesting thing about Costa Rica was the beach. On the pacific side of the country, the sand is muddy and black. Even though the dark sand made the ocean look dirty, it made the white sea shells shine exceedingly bright. One of the scariest parts about Costa Rica was the reptiles. It seems that every river was full of enormous crocodiles. Although the lush, green jungle was a beautiful sight to see, Bonaire had even prettier views. Since it is located in the Caribbean, the island of Bonaire is surrounded by the most gorgeous turquoise water. The ocean was definitely the prettiest part of the island. The main terrain of Bonaire is desert. Unlike Costa Rica, there are hardly any trees. The island is covered in rocks and cactus. Because of the lack of vegetation, there were very few animals that thrive. For example, donkeys and finches were some of the only animals I saw on the island. Just like Costa Rica, Bonaire has a reptile problem. Thankfully, the reptiles in Bonaire were much nicer. Iguanas ruled the island. They were everywhere. After vacationing in Costa Rica and Bonaire, I realized that both have extraordinary

In 1535, Spain was beginning to be colonized. It was ruled by Bogota loosely, and didn’t colonize as quickly as other places in South Africa because it wasn’t as important to the Spanish, but later on when things started to pick up in Venezuela, everyone was impressed with how well it did.
It is the eighth largest country in the world, with an area of 1,073,399 square miles. (Encyclopedia Britannica 356) Shaped like an inverted triangle with its base atop, it is only about 884 miles across at its widest from east to west, but it stretches 2,360 miles from the subtropical north to the subantarctic south.

ahatma Gandhi once stated that “A nations culture resides in the hearts and souls of its people” This holds evident in the European country of Spain. Spain is a country of long time tradition in which people work hard to continue on with a culture they created long ago. Spain is a very colorfully cultured country with many famous and important traditions which include bullfighting, the art of flamenco dancing and La Siesta.
The history of Spain is very rich. It used to be inhabited by the Muslims before the Christian reconquest of the Iberian Peninsula. King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella later took rule in 1479. They also had ruling power of other territories, which in the future became the country of Spain. Because of their faith, Ferdinand and Isabella are considered Catholic Monarchs. To this day Spain remains a very Catholic country with 94% of their country’s population being Roman Catholic. Most of the people in Spain’s ethnicity can be traced back to the Mediterranean and Nordic type . Although, today 88% of the population is made up of native Spaniards. Other minority groups include Latinos, Asians, Africans, and other Europeans.
The cultural in Spain is generally plain in comparison with most over developed countries. Ninety-five percent of the population are white Catholics. The "granadainos" don't have a particularly good reputation and they are renown for their "mala follar" which means bad humor. They tend to be less friendly and lighthearted than the average Spaniard.
