CUBAN MISSILE CRISIS (DECISION TIME)


CUBAN MISSILE CRISIS (DECISION TIME)



The threat started when USSR began sending nuclear missiles to Cuba, that was governed by a communist dictatorship lead by Fidel Castro. 
Americans spy planes found secret nuclear missile sites being built in Cuba. In that moment with hot blood running through my veins I ran into the Oval Office and warned Mr. Kennedy:

I proposed to strike first, Russian weapons were very near to our territory they could strike whenever they wanted, it was the best choice at first but thinking it twice, it would be the beginning of a nuclear war (WWIII) it will become one of the worse slaughters in human history and people that survived will be affected by radioactive pollution. 

The second option that I thought was to block Cuba sending troops to Guantanamo base, forming a ring of ships trying to stop any new missiles getting there from USSR, a blockade. This possibility wouldn´t produce any deaths and it will be the safest option and it was exactly what we did. 

The problems started when USSR didn´t want to negotiate and kept sending missiles. After being negotiating for a long time I decided to active choice B. This plan consisted on putting the pressure on Cuba, moving our troops and ships with the final purpose of invading it eventually.
 
In addition we thought about the consequences. Kruschev began arguing with us and tryed to start a new Korean War but at that moment we were prepared  enough to respond and implement force.
 
After a few weeks of tension, Mr. Presidet, the US army would invade Cuba and the island would become a capitalist country in the orbit of the US.

ANALYSIS OF A POPULATION PYRAMID

Analysis of a population pyramid you can click here to know more information In first place we are going to define what a population pyramid is: it is a graph that shows the structure of a society by sex and age at a given time and place. We can divide this pyramid into three sections: young dependents (0-14), working population(15-64), old dependents (65+). According to the sex structure of this graph, the sex ratio at birth is equaly, the number of girls born are the same as boys (16%), so the sex ratio matches in 0-4 level. In the other hand women have the higher life expectancy. The reasons of that might be historical, dangerous jobs and smoking of men and healthy life of women. With regard to the age structure of the pyramid we can say that it corresponds with the first stage, It has expansive shape and concave sides because of the high birth rate (39.3% 0 ) and the high death rate (14.5% 0 ), consecuenly the net migration is negative and the real increse is lower ...

DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE

The American Declaratation of Independence is a document,  approved by the  Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, that announced the separation of North American British colonies from Great Britain. It talks about what they called unalienable rights: equality, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, despite they (upper class) omitted Indians, black slaves and women. I think that both historian,s interpretations of this statement could be close to reality, it is an evidence that Bernard Bailyn one adopts the most extreme position, he says Americans believed an evil and deliberate conspiracy of Britain against their liberty, they believed that England was trying to enslave them and the only option that they had to protect themselves was to use the power which God has given to them. In the other hand Howard Zinn talks about people´s history of the United States, he thinks that the main point of this declaration was the way in which upper class persuade the lower class to jo...

MIGRATION: SPAIN IN-OUT

SPAIN IN                       Firstly I am going to analyze the inmigration in Spain, inmigrats that come to Spain with the dream of get a new life are usually from LEDCs such as Morocco (30%), Romania (25%), Ecuador (10%), Colombia (12%), Peru (5%) or Bolivia (2%). Inmigrant from those countries came to Spain every years to get better conditions, job, home, rights... Luckily most of them found a job, working as agricultors, builder or cleaners and could life better but not the best. Also Spain in this case, get some "exchange" if we can call like that, because they pay taxes, population increase and lot of things that contribute to the country.  In the opposite side the inmigrants that came from MEDCs such as United Kingdom, France or Germany are usuallyyoung people that have studied a career and want to find job; or retired people that like Spain and want to life here to being comfortable.   SPAIN OUT ...
