Fresh vegetables were uncommon. Women convicts were given less food, as their work was often not as physical. Convicts who worked for free settlers were expected to be fed by their master. Convicts were expected to work from sunrise to sunset. In hot weather they had an hour off in the middle of the day.
Geography itself played an important role in some social factors that differentiated the development of the two regions. In 1635’s “Ship’s List of Emigrants Bound for Virginia”, majority of the emigrants came alone (Doc. C). Over 60 of them where men and only 11 were women which caused very few marriages and very few childbirths. Of those few, many of the mothers died in the process.
Eighty five percent of the population is poor in El Salvador and only have limited access to fresh water and health care. In El Salvador there are still many people that are descendants of the indigenous group of the Pipils that are known as the Nahua Pipils and speak dialects of the original language today . Like past times the women and men still have the same roles in family life. Many women in El Salvador care for the children and the house, but there are many that have jobs and work outside the house. Men work outside the house and on the fields in the agricultural area of El Salvador.
Today the top Four companies (Tyson, Cargrill, JBS and National Beef) control more than 80% of the worlds meat market. With such high demands on these companies to produce so much, there are compromises that are made. These companies treat their livestock, and employees in a horrific and sickening manner. The animals are fed mostly corn products and given antibiotics daily. Most animals stand knee high in their own feces all of the time.
| Paleo and Archaic | Weapons | | Weapons have always been an important part of every culture. This is because all cultures have conflicts and all people need to hunt for food. Whether it is a small argument between brother and sister, or a World War started because the Prince of a country is assassinated, conflicts exist. To fight wars, hunt, or protect one’s self, a weapon is needed that can kill. Throughout the Paleo and Archaic time periods, men forged clever yet primitive weapons and tools.
The gray wolf hunts in a pack that can consist of two to a dozen of wolfs. However, their prey can depend on their size of the pack needed to kill it. When in the pack itself, the Alphas which is the head female and male are the dominate pair over the rest of the pack, which they are the one who make the calls on the hunts and everything else. The lowest of their packs are the Omegas, which are usually the ones that are tortured and picked on by the pack. The Alphas are always dependent to their packs by always making everything available to its pack like the food and at the time of its breeding stage.
The population was estimated to have dropped 50-60%, so the prices of goods rapidly dropped, since there were so few people still alive to buy it. The lower levels of the social chain, like the peasants, serfs, farmers, and factory workers were struck the hardest. (Pollama) Since their living and work conditions were not very sanitary, and their living spaces were often cramped and dirty, they were the easiest targets for the plague. All of the jobs that these people had were now open, and available for people to take. Since the serf population had gotten ridiculously low, plantation owners were forced to start paying workers to tend the farms.
Similar to the Joad family in John Steinbeck's "The Grapes of Wrath", about 40% of migrant farmers wound up in the San Joaquin Valley, picking fruit and cotton. Life for migrant workers was hard. They were paid by the amount of fruit and cotton picked, with earnings ranging from seventy-five cents to $1.25 a day. Out of these low wages they had to payment rent on their leaky and rough shack that usually had only a dirt floor and no plumbing. Oftentimes the migrants had to buy their supplies
These are hard working women who in fact, not only work overtime but are also an active supporter towards their kid’s education and extracurricular activities. These are not women who sit around all day at home doing nothing with their lives such as not working or not in school. There are also many co-ed families who receive food stamps and public assistance and single fathers but a single mother makes up majority of help from the government. Now, another concern is how is it harmful to our economy? According to The Heritage Foundation, “The food stamp program is old and fossilized.
Many women complaint about these workshops due to the unsafe condition, verbal abuse, sexual harassment that happen to the female workers. There have been efforts to change the conditions that Maquila workers began organized unions in Guatemala. The only problem is that the laws in the Guatemalan Constitution and Labor Code are not enforced. One organization, ‘Camisas Modernas’, actually won a bargaining agreement in Guatemala’s Maquila sector giving workers a decent wage, legal benefits and a normal work week 44 hours; however, Phillips Van Heusen closed the factory and split it up in five areas. Even though all these conditions are around the women workers, these Maquila sweatshops are the only close enough paying jobs that are in the city meaning that many people leave their countryside
