The United States embargo against Cuba is a commercial economic and financial embargo imposed by the United States on Cuba. In other words the US basically stopped all trades including medicine, spices, oil, sugar, and traveling to and from Cuba to the US. The Cuba embargo should stay in place and this is why.

The cuban embargo is a hot topic and has been a hot topic for the past question asked by many and there are two sides to this question. There is a lot of controversy as there are many fair points as to why we should and to why we should not lift the embargo but the negative disadvantages far outweigh the positive ones. If we Lift the embargo it would benefit the Cuban people a lot less than the government because most of the Cuban economy is owned by the government and all foreign trade is made
The conclusion is that there are some ways to improve Cuba, but without trade (because of the unjust embargo the United States has placed on Cuba) the economy will stay in the dust, unless foreign aid is given to Cuba that is similar to the aid that was given to them by the Soviet Union during the cold war. While solving housing problems can be attempted by replacing the infrastructure in Cuba. But as long as money is not passing through many hands, Cuba will not improve economically. Personally
Cortázar en su obra "La noche boca arriba", nos presenta dos voces: la del paciente accidentado y la del moteca perseguido; las dos voces son articuladas por dos narradores en tercera persona y forman un contrapunto entre realidad y sueño, sin embargo, hacia el final existe un desplazamiento, ya que la realidad y el sueño cambian de silla debido a la existencia de una oposición que desde el comienzo es también una complicidad: el sueño no es mas que el escape del indio, en donde el soñador se convierte

appalling conditions that they have to live. Berrebi sticks to a more logos style, but uses some pathos. Cubans are starting to come out of poverty little by little, but have began to become more unhealthy. Obesity has began to be on the rise as well as heavy smoking. With these two things risking the health of everyone it affects, health care is not going to be free anymore. With the already low wages, Cubans are not going to be able to afford to stay healthy, which can bring about more
with Cuba. Since America’s policies towards Communism were clear, the trade embargo began to look like a more long-term intervention. To this day, the trade embargo is still in place, and it appears unlikely that this president, as well as many more from those who will succeed him, is ready to discuss any possible amendment.

another revolution, that of the Cuban women. Castro himself described the changes in women’s public and private lives as "a revolution within a revolution". In a true system of equality, as in the one Castro holds as his ideal, equality reaches all people across all lines whether they are lines of race, class, or gender. Throughout Castro’s campaign, starting in 1953 with the failed Moncada attack, Castro has used historic referenciality to appeal to the Cuban population. Castro’s most often mentioned
cast that the war was not a struggle for national independence but one for black supremacy. Spain manipulated the idea of a national war, with the objective to fight colonialism, into a race war with the objective of blacks uprising against whites. Cuban independence activists, therefore, campaigned diligently—mainly through writing—to negate Spain’s representations. Writings of the Ten Years War were conceived as lessons or guidelines to help pave way to a new revolution. Writings also helped reevaluate
colonized Cuba from which the Cuban race was socially and economically constructed. The Spanish rulers were of the elite while the African servants were of the lowest social class (Marcus, 2013). Ever since these early days, Afro-Cubans—Cubans with African ancestry, are labeled solely upon their skin color, which defines their position on the social hierarchy. Blackness is associated with slavery (Roland, 2011). Thus, the lighter one’s skin, the further away from slavery. Afro-Cubans who are dark skinned
