In most of the world, humanity was still in a condition little better than slavery, and even countries that had revolutions kept slipping back into the old despotism. Democracies often failed to survive for very long because the masses had an ingrained "habit of domination" (Bolivar 7)
In "The Socialist Doctrine of the Association of May" (1846), Echeverria envisioned a liberal, democratic Argentina in which all persons were equal under the law. Taxes would be proportionate to wealth, monopolies abolished, public office opened to all qualified candidates, the burdens of military service shared equally by all classes, public education and freedom of conscience for all, and state-supported religion eliminated (Echeverria 154-55)
Lastarria's liberal philosophy held that history was always made by individuals, exercising their God-given free will and moral choice. Humanity has the capacity for perfection in spite of the crimes and follies of history, in which "liberty and justice maintain a perpetual struggle with despotism and iniquity and almost always succumb to the repeated blows of these adversaries" (Lastarria 78)
Forced into exile by Mexico's authoritarian rulers, he lived out the rest of his life in Europe. Mora believed that "with neither religion nor worship, it is impossible to have society or morality among civilized people" (Mora 38)
In "Facundo, or Civilization and Barbarism" (1844), Sarimento blamed the condition of Argentina under Rojas on the predominance of the 'barbarous' countryside and the gauchos over the enlightened, educated elites in the cities, especially Buenos Aires. This was the only city that had real contact with the intellectual and political currents of the outside world, and alone had "the advantages of foreign trade" (Sarimento 128)
) turned to nontraditional (especially black and Latin) popular music when ASCAP (American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers) banned its mainstream popular music radio broadcasts in the early 1940s. (Manuel, 1991) These developments contributed to the rise of smaller, independent firms that were able to service the demand for specialized markets in a more creative, responsive, and energetic way
Thus, although the "salsa" label was commercial in inspiration, it can be seen as legitimate insofar as it denoted music that had acquired a new social significance and operated in a milieu substantially distinct from that of its Caribbean parent. Salsa's lyrics, like those of its predecessors, the Cuban son and rumba, frequently dealt with local neighborhood events; (Agudelo, 1987) but now the neighborhood was East Harlem rather than, for example, Havana's Guanabacoa suburb
Thus, the development of salsa can be seen as an ongoing dialectic between the Latino community's attempt to shape salsa as its own sub-cultural expression The demography of New York City's Hispanic population started changing in the mid-1970s, when the numerical dominance of Puerto Ricans was challenged by the increased influx of Dominicans, Central Americans, Colombians, Mexicans, and others. By 1985 these groups outnumbered Puerto Ricans, many of whom were themselves assimilating to Anglo culture (Bagdikian, 1985) As a result of the continuing rise in Latino population in the major cities, the 'majors' -- especially RCA/Ariola, CBS, A&M, and EMI -- energetically entered the Latin music industry in 1980
4% drop in market value. (Cobo, 2003) If the local governments do not take steps in the near future to corral the pirated music industry, the results could be complete collapse of the music industy in these countries
9% in value over the first 6 months of 2003. (Masson, 2003) The multitude of individual consumers who can download and burn their own music is affecting the entire music industry
But the challenge that remains for countries is the scarcity of human capital. The skilled, educated and talented workforce is not easily available in the economies like that of Latin America which can affect the economic development of the country (Kahn & Strauss, 2011)
, coffee, nitrates etc.), this leaves these countries open to the vagaries of the world economy, which leads to unpredictable boom-bust cycles (Williamson, 1992; p281)

Customer loyalty is crucial for the success of any business, yet it is tantamount in the area of tourism in Latin American nations. The creation and sustaining of customer loyalty over time in the Latin American tourism industry is measurable over time using the SERVQUAL research instrument (Ramsaran-Fowdar, 2007) and methodology (Carrillat, Jaramillo, Mulki, 2007)
Therefore, the content and tenor of their statements and actions regarding political matters may significantly influence the public's perception of any given policy, politician, or regime, in turn affecting the outcome of various political actions. Even when the clergy wish to avoid political entanglement, the public may interpret their silence as implying acceptance of certain policies, politicians, or regimes (Gill, Anthony, 1998, 2)
It began with the conversion of indigenous peoples during the colonial period, which was the most pivotal period in gaining control of Latin America. The indigenous people had, as we know from archeological artifacts and study, a sophisticated society, albeit different, but nonetheless comparable to that of the Europeans with the exception of Catholicism (Lockhart, James and Schwartz, Stuart, 1983, 1)
However, the Church spread more out into the rural areas in a way that the appointed official's network of control did not. The Church took on an increasingly political role in the colonization of South America (Turner, Frederich, 1971, 3)
America is still largely ignorant of true Latin American culture and customs, and they see Latina women as sex objects, just like Carmen Miranda. Another writer notes, "In American musicals, Miranda performed extravagantly flamboyant numbers involving swaying hips, exaggerated facial expressions, kitschy sexy costumes, and 'think-big' style props" (Stam 84)
The results were really encouraging that FVSA and WWF have been widely promoting sustainable Palmito farming as a real alternative to Soya farming. [WWF] Other than this, the WWF has also started the 'Roundtable of Responsible Soy' (RTRS), an international conference with the aim of promoting "economically viable, socially equitable and environmentally sustainable production, processing and trading of soy" [RTRS] the collaboration between FLR (Forest land Restoration), WWF and FVSA in the 'The Misiones Green Corridor project' is one fine example of preventing forest clearance for agricultural process by participating with landholders and the government in devising plans for sustainable cultivation practices without destroying forests
"Past political changes include the 1927 revision of Article 27 of the Constitution for example where it is clearly specified that ejido members should be males or single women or widows supporting a family." (Deere and Leon)
