5 The people and cultures of Latin America are an interesting blend of the native groups in the region and influences of the countries that established colonies there. 12/1/20155

6 Language is the major factor that links together all the countries of the area and makes it a culture region. 12/1/20156

7 What is the major link between the Latin American countries? 12/1/2015Bennifield7

8 Because most of the countries in Latin America were conquered by Spain, the Spanish language is the most- spoken language of the region. 12/1/20158

9 Since Portugal claimed Brazil, Brazilians speak the Portuguese language. 12/1/20159

10 What country conquered Brazil? 12/1/2015Bennifield10

12 After Spanish settlers moved into Mexico, Central America, South America and the Caribbean, ethnic groups began to blend. 12/1/201512

13 12/1/201513

14 Spanish people married American Indians. 12/1/201514

15 Their offspring were called mestizos, or people of mixed European and Indian ancestry. 12/1/201515

16 12/1/201516

17 Soon, black slaves from Africa were brought to Latin America. 12/1/201517

18 12/1/201518

25 GO READ AND PROSPER! 12/1/201525

26 Have you ever heard a country referred to as “developed” or “developing”? 12/1/201526

27 The development of a country refers to its economic health. 12/1/201527

28 12/1/201528 http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/Third-World.html

29 A developed country has good public services like clean water, electricity and transportation. 12/1/201529

30 Its citizens have good educations, are healthy, and earn good salaries. 12/1/201530

31 A developing country usually has poor public services, few good jobs, poor healthcare, and largely uneducated workforce. 12/1/201531

32 One factor that has a huge effect on a country’s economic health is the literacy rate. 12/1/201532

33 Developing countries typically have low literacy rates, which greatly affects its citizens’ standard of living. 12/1/201533

34 A developed country has a good standard of living. 12/1/201534

35 A developing country often has a poor standard of living. 12/1/201535

38 If you have a better salary, you can improve your standard of living. 12/1/201538
