    Teotihuacan Murals

    • 1837 Words

    This whole paper started with an amazing trip to the Denver Art Museum. The Teotihuacan section immediately caught my attention. This is where I discovered the “Mural of Xochipilla”. Had I known in the beginning how mysterious this piece of art was I would have moved on to another topic for this research paper. Many hours were spent trying to find information on the “Mural of Xochipilla” which yielded no information at all. Not even the museum could reveal anything about the mural except that they had purchased the mural in 1967. While doing the research I was inspired by Teotihuacan’s mysterious culture, which kept me looking for more information. Al though there was no information on the “Mural of Xochipilla”, there seemed to be overwhelming information on the Culture of Teotihuacan.…

    Between 1980 into the mid 1980s… the genocide of the Maya occurred within the city of modern Guatemala (p.355). It was during this time that the Mayan society were forced to leave their home in the altiplano (the highlands—due to an earthquake) and had to begin to assimilate with the rest of the Guatemala population. During this time, the Fuerzas Armadas Rebeldes (FAR) ladino organization extended their communist influence to those Mayas assosciated with the highlands. Therefore because of their emphasis upon the FAR and towards enabling their own highland culture within city of Guatemala that initially caused the Guatemalan city, under the leadership of General Benedicto Lucas, to initiate a war that would deprive the communist forces of their…

    1491 Paper

    • 4 Pages

    There are two divergent theories of early civilizations populations in the Pre Colombian era. The first is that the area was covered with human life and, that villages and empires were believed to have blanketed the landscape. Furthermore these people are believed to have developed advanced societies structured with government and religion. These high counter theorists also believe that disease was responsible for the great emptiness of human density after Columbus arrived. The second theory is the hypothesis that there were very few people that resided in Pre Colombia thus diminishing the idea of mass death from disease and the great social achievements’ made by the Pre Colombian natives. In 1491, Charles Mann discusses the finer points of both sides, showing which side he agrees with as well as allowing the reader to develop their own ideas. This paper will explain both theories in detail, explain Mann’s personal leaning, and will end with my own thoughts about whether or not Pre Colombia was a populated region.…

    Cold War in Guatemala

    • 1243 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Guatemala is known for being one of the most dangerous countries in Central America; nevertheless, it is not its fault that it is the way it is. During the Cold War there were many factors involved and many events that led to the Guatemala of today. It all began with the election of Colonel Arbenz during the “Ten Years of Springtime” which ended because President Eisenhower was influenced by his connections to Guatemala´s “state within a state,” (TWT) the United Fruit Company. His decision disrupted a prosperous time for the country and created a dictatorship that gave birth to an army that caused a civil war which lasted over thirty years. Followed by a genocide that has the worst human rights record; it marked the beginning of a totally different Central American country that is now scarred and has not yet fully recovered from this disastrous event. Sometimes actions are committed for the right reasons but in a wrong way; the United States did exactly that. They changed an entire nation for their own interest by having most of the country under the control of an American-owned business, and ended up destroying it slowly and painfully with the result of a genocide and a thirty-year civil war. On the other hand, the Soviet Union only stood aside and let the country’s communism be taken over.…

    Collapse by Jared Diamond is a novel about the various ways societies have collapsed in the past and how we can look for the same patterns today, in our own societies. The fourth chapter of Collapse, the chapter that was focused on, is about how the Region of the Anasazi and Chacos collapsed from different issues their societies faced. These societies collapsed from problems they did not resolve. When faced with an issue, societies have either a social, political, economical, environmental, or cultural response; this response, if effective, can solve the issue or if ineffective, will not solve the issue. When unsolved these issues can pile up and lead to a societal…

    "I have often asked myself, 'What did the Eastern Islander cut down the last palm tree say while he was going it?' "(Diamond, p.114). The collapse of societies are a very deep and complicated problem that have been taking place in so many political, environmental and archeological investigations during the last few decades and showed so many results and theories about their original cause of collapse. In human history societies have been the key of progress but also the failure and that can be seen trough all the societies that collapsed and left behind glimpses of their crumbing temples, ruins and statues. Many societies that collapsed such as…
