International Reporting 2020

Assignment#1: Divided by water together by culture, a Caribbean nation

This semester I will be focusing on the entire Caribbean nation to discuss the positive roles they have accomplished rather than what the media portrays. The media and other news sources discuss the negative international affairs between a country and their government. For example: “The oil exchange and political crisis in Georgetown, Guyana affects the Indian and Afro Guyanese people. The Guyanese President David Granger is supported by the Afro-Guyanese which bistands the Indian Guyanese who are farmlanders. Both sides are in fear of exclusion from public spending. Guyana is ought to be one of the poorest countries in South America, but has excluded that because now the land is filled with richness of oil.” https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/06/world/americas/Guyana-election.html?referringSource=articleShare. Primarly I will be discussing the term “poor” since it describes the islands to be unstable and struggling rather than unique. I am a descendant from the island of Trinidad, adpated to my roots as a young child. Other islands have contributions of riches and minerals that are favored in the United States, but they never seem to be credited for accomplishments achieved in any type of businesses. In order to prove certain points and make my readers understand the logic and knowledge of the Caribbean I will be primarly focusing on major areas of residencies that center a large population of Caribbean people. Liberty and Richmond Hill in Queens, NY and Crown Heights and Flatbush in Brooklyn, NY. The significance of these places is filled with the people who came to live a better life and accomplish themselves and continue to still give back to their families back home. Often times the United States recognize people from the Caribbean such as famous musicians and athletes when there is much more we should recognize. Not only we should recognize the places we typically visit as a normal vacation spot, but what if we look beyond what we havent seen that could grasp our attention. More importantly its mainly about what the Caribbean can provide us and how we can recognize them for their accomplishments. Hopefully as well I can discuss if the Caribbean news channels can also broadcast towards the United States to share their views, also I do see myself broadcasting and traveling to the islands.
