What do you see as the most significant difference between the culture and society of white european-americans and those of native american indians?

The Native Americans lived a life that was a complete opposite from the way that the Euroeans were accustomed to.

They believed that the land was shared by everyone and not one person could own it.

The Native Americans also had a polytheistic religion which completely went agains the beliefs of the colonists.

Colonists viewed the Native Americans as savages and barbarians because their ways of living were different. The Native Americans believed that man is ruled by respect and reverence for nature and that nature is an all and must be respected.

Upon arrival to the new world, the European Americans adhered to a governmental monarchy, yet the Native Americans geld to a tribal form of government. These structures were ingrained into each society so that the very practice was one of deep cultural practice.

The Europeans believe in an absolute commitment to the crown of England.

However, the native americans devoted themselves to ecah and another and had no central ruler. Nonetheless, they did have many chiefs among the tribal chiefdoms that regulated relations among the tribal members.

This diferences betwen cultures causes frequent clashes that often led to destruction of land and peole.

"a problem throughout latin america is widespread poverty. what can those countries improve? the higher the literacy rate" or "education, the lower the rate of poverty".

although the majority of the total population and the population   poor in latin america and the caribbean is in the centers   urban areas, in relative terms poverty remains a   rural phenomenon in the region. the incidence of poverty and   extreme poverty is much greater in rural areas than   in urban areas without going further, in 1997 more than half of the   rural households lived in poverty and about a third in   situation of extreme poverty. in addition, the difficult economic situation   of most of the countries in the region in the past   two years has surely deteriorated those figures. to the poor   of the rural areas of the region are raised at least   three basic problems: i); insufficient nutrition, poor health and   poor educational services; ii); scarce opportunities   productive employment in agriculture and non-agricultural activities;   and iii); low degree of organization to effectively promote   the rural interests. the number and variety of circumstances   that cause rural poverty, as well as heterogeneity   of conditions in which it occurs in different countries   and regions hinder the search for effective solutions and   efficient to raise the welfare of the rural population.  

the mechanisms to reduce poverty are   focuses on three types of important action possibilities and   complementary to generate or raise the income of the poor   of rural areas: one that is based on the growth of   agricultural sector; another that aims at sustainable use and conservation   of natural resources, and the last based on the importance   growing rural economic activities that   they develop outside the agricultural land. there are at least other   two possibilities for reducing rural poverty: the traditional migration to urban areas and assistance to   people who need income transfers to overcome   the poverty threshold or to have a minimum access to   social safety nets.
