Most noticeable would be the shift from speaking ancestral native languages to speaking Spanish. Just as well, Spanish architectural influence can be seen through the gorgeous tiled roofs, proud steeples, and light yellow-orange interiors of their churches and homes. The Spaniards also left an environmental impact, such as the introduction of Spanish horses and other Spanish plant and animal species, which, in turn, sparked the famous “cowboy culture” of the Southwest. This “blended” Spanish and indigenous Mexican culture is commonly known as “Hispanic” or “Latino.” Today, this culture is still very much alive and can be seen all throughout both Arizona and the Southwest as a whole. One can clearly see the cultural impact of both the Mexicans and Spanish, through the architecture, restaurants, traditional foods, and the religious traditions and ceremonies celebrated by Mexican people in the region, such as The Day of the Dead and Cinco de Mayo. Also, there are many Spanish-named streets, towns, cities, and

This is demonstrated in the letter, “Letter from Birmingham Jail,” in which Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. defends his decision to taking direct action in the city of Birmingham. He states that “injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere” (King 1). This demonstrates how being a bystander just leads to everyone being harmed since allowing an injustice to occur leads to the suffering of many people. Allowing injustices to take place enables evil and corruption to expand, and that leads to people being oppressed and discriminated. Even when the bystander tries to avoid problems by not joining the conflict, he is just bringing more problems to himself because he is allowing his community to be harmed. A bystander subconsciously harms himself by allowing others to be harmed. Therefore, the detrimental effects of being a bystander confirm why an individual should not be

In the United States, prison, or rather incarceration, is the most common type of punishment that is dispensed to criminals by the criminal justice system once they have been convicted. Looking back half a century ago, the rate of incarceration in the united states was still low and almost similar to those of countries such as Denmark and Finland. However, the last three decades or so have seen the rise of mass incarceration as a punitive criminal justice measure in the United States to the extent where a greater proportion of the population are incarcerated than in any other country. Incarceration usually involves the locking up of offenders in prisons where they are subjected to harsh and restrictive conditions.

There are several reasons why Spain wanted to colonize what later became the American Southwest. One reason is due to Spanish explorer Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca stating on his reports about a seven cities of Gold or “Cibola” that contain rich resources. This brought the attention of Spain which made further explorations to the vast landscape. The Southwest exploration ended in disaster due to the lack of discovery for precious metals, so Spain turned their attention to international rivalry that led Spain’s settlement in the northern frontier. One settlement in particular was Albuquerque in 1706, with its rich resources, Spain required labor workers and this was a reason the Indians were valuable to them (Meier and Ribera, 20). Indians who

They concluded that patients usually consider medical conditions as high priority. They are more likely to visit the physician leaving no time or energy to worry about the dental appointments11.

Before the Spanish colonized Mexico, it was inhabited by the indigenous people like the Aztecs and Mayans. Spain had powerful armies led by Hernan Cortes, in which they were looking for new land. Along with getting resources from the land, Spain felt obligated to spread their religion of Christianity. The Spanish introduced new technology, culture, and their language to the indigenous people. The colonialization of Mexico led to the deaths and loss of some culture of the indigenous people.
