Why You Should Visit Jamaica

Image
     Bored at home? Wish you could take a visit to an exotic country as soon as this COVID season is over? Well, look no further than Jamaica!  Kingston, Jamaica (Source 3)           Jamaica is an island off the coast of South America located in the Caribbean. It’s to the south of Cuba and north of the Lower Antilles islands. The capital of Kingston is home to almost half of Jamaica’s population at 1.23 million (Source 1).      Jamaica is full of culture that is embedded deep into its history.

El Caribe Gris Challenges

There are three main ideas in this prompted essay which include how the St Vincent people reacted to independence while shaping their own government. This government would be shaped by their predecessors, also known as the British. While the Dutch ruled them previously as well, they had learned and been impressed by their past events. Source 1 explains how the St Vincent people took note of their past rulers. A second main idea includes a site I discovered which lists out some of the political history and turmoil the people of St Vincent and the Grenadines have experienced. With disagreement over the country’s new constitution. Source 2 will help explain in detail how these groups of people disagreed and include their differences. A third and last main event talks about how the modern day St Vincent people and government promote democracy. Similar to othe...
