I will throughout posts that I will be updating regularly show the result of an investigation in which, by using the academic material given to me, as a public school student by Ministry of Education of the Dominican Republic, I will try to unravel certain questions that have surged in me about the country`s people through the 11 years that I have been living in this country as a Dominican-Cuban.
I will try to answer this questions, questions that are mostly cultural, through the study of this country`s history.
-Is administrative corruption a consequence of previous historical facts like the piracy which took place in the Caribbean?
-Is there a connection between genetic heritage and social behavior?
-Why would a nation not have a clear identity?
-How the Dominican Republic is going through great changes.
In this investigation I will thoughtfully and as accurately as possible try to traduce the academic texts of concern to the investigation. I might also introduce concepts and tools of understanding borrowed from other sources in disciplines that I have previously studied, sources that I will, as possible, try to always cite properly. As well as show the conclusion I might come to reach through them, in order to show my thoughts about the problems and the possibilities available for improvement. I hope this will bring the thoughts of the reader towards the country I have been living in for so long, which has raised me, feed me and ultimately accepted me within its own possibilities, for which I am very grateful.
I am writing this in English because is a much more international language than Spanish and therefore can bring readers of many more different origins and cultures than Spanish. If there is any error, which I will try to avoid at any cost, please let me know about it since I might be single handedly traducing a large or not so large quantity of text depending on where this investigation about a nation and maybe a little about myself takes me.
This work is in process so please respect the fact that it might take me some time to follow through between one post and another.
