This financing comes from various sources, including multilateral institutions such as the World Bank and the Inter-American Development Bank and bilateral aid from countries such as the United States, Canada, and European nations. The funding is directed toward various sectors, including infrastructure, health, education, and economic development. One of the primary reasons the Caribbean Basin receives so much international financing is the significant economic, social, and environmental challenges faced by many of the countries in the region. These challenges include prevalent poverty levels, unemployment, inequality, and vulnerability to natural disasters. The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the region's economies, increasing international support demand. Despite the significant amount of international financing that flows into the Caribbean Basin, there are concerns about the effectiveness and sustainability of these investments. Some experts argue that there is a need for greater coordination and collaboration between international donors and local governments to ensure that financing is directed towards priority areas and is effectively managed and implemented. Additionally, more significant investment is needed to build local capacity and institutions to support long-term development in the region.

Religion is a complex and multifaceted aspect of human society, with various interpretations and ... more Religion is a complex and multifaceted aspect of human society, with various interpretations and practices across different cultures. Unfortunately, throughout history, specific religious interpretations have perpetuated the demonization of women. This book explores the underlying factors that have led to women’s unequal treatment and marginalization within religious contexts, exploring the root causes behind these misinterpretations. This essay challenges the notion that religion inherently demonizes women by examining specific examples and offering counterarguments.
The issue’s root lies in societal and cultural biases that can significantly influence how religion is practiced and understood. Recognizing this complexity and our role in shaping these biases is crucial for fostering a more inclusive and equitable society, making us more aware and responsible.

Man’s continued exploration of innovative ways of existence through various tools or systems inevitably creates a symbiotic relationship.
With such a relationship emerges a dominant player and a subject at the former’s disposal. The present generation is a testament to this sentiment, and many young people are hooked to their digital devices. And most of them willingly endure the consequences of such dependency, oblivious
of an imminent evolution that unwittingly prays on them.
The most salient is the transformation of the communication system from the analog version to digital modes of Communication that rely more on emotional interpretation. They respond to the emotional functioning of our brain, enhancing attention and associated perceptual encoding of dynamic events, thereby increasing their subjective salience.
Intrinsically, society has been fragmented by a dependency that rids man of the traditional ways by introducing trending approaches to life. Those unable to identify themselves with the new forms are labeled ignorant, particularly the myth of the old, digital immigrants that learned to use computers at some stage during their adult lives.
At the same time, the young generation is called digital natives. While the latter boast of their prowess by exploiting the symbiotic relationship, they gradually evolve through transhumanism.
Meaning features autonomous and self-evolving systems, the digital incarnation of oneself, something humans do not recognize in the frenzy of digital integration, posing threats and benefits.

However, when AI is used to benefit only machines at the expense of humans, it can be considered a parasite.
Similarly, AI can be viewed as a parasite if used to manipulate or control human behavior.
It’s worth noting that the relationship between humans and AI is not always clear-cut, and there are often shades of gray between symbiosis and parasitism; we must consider the potential impacts of AI on society
carefully and ensure its use aligns with human values and goals.
As AI becomes more prevalent, it’s essential to carefully consider its effect on human society and use it to align with human values and goals.
Otherwise, we will become the parasite of a tremendous unpredictable force.

The book brings together arguments about how since 1959, the federal Government of the United States has funded, not only the press of the Cuban exiles in Florida, under the guise of patriotism, and the fight against communism, but training and blessed active terrorist groups, criminal acts of murder and violence against journalists and democracy activists.

The ethical problems in American journalism are not a thing of the past. Focusing in our own backyard, the supplement in Spanish of The Miami Herald, El Nuevo Herald, maintains that contentious tradition with what already are not mistakes of copy editors, but express inten-tions to distort the truth and misrepresent the historical facts. For personal gain of publishers, pleasing advertisers or owners express policies? Their actions respond.
Only this month of April 2015, an editorial by El Nuevo Herald the April 16th refers to the invasion to Cuba on Bay of Pigs April 17th, 1960, without that mentioning in the 298 words in Spanish that was an operation funded and sponsored by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).
The day after that editorial was printed, The Miami Herald published a report about how the higher direction of the newspaper "killed" in 1960 a history - euphemism for censored - that denounced the invasion seven months before it occurs, under pressure from the director of the CIA, Allen Dulles, pleasing the Government against all the ethics codes of American jour-nalism.
Case specific of this study, the 2006 exposed scandal of journalists of El Nuevo Herald, Spanish version of The Miami Herald and other media in Florida moonlighting of the Voice of America (VOA) service, Radio and TV Martí. We intend to show how far decades the federal government has paid Hispanic journalists in Florida directly or indirectly through different budgets for non-profit organizations and financed publications with the pretext of patriotism and the fight against communism.
As the story goes character Olivia Pope, the star of the show, is partially based on former George H.W. Bush administration press aide, 56 year old Judy Smith. Washington’s is the first black woman leading in a network drama in almost three decades. Controversy doesn’t mean that writer Rhimes remove totally the weight of race and racism in the show. Sex, race and con-flict is nothing new in performing, but also the conspiracy theory of crime and politics and high levels in the houses of power to capture the involvement of the audience.
For some in social media Scandal is a communal experience and with 4.3 million tweets for 2013 season alone the show becomes a social phenomenon through the use and manipulation of social media, what some called “the show that Twitter build”, this combo of a promotions strat-egy and thriller show, a high-stakes soap opera, involving election rigging, a presidential assas-sination attempt, a failed internal White House coup, and many other crazy shenanigans, could be preposterous on virtually every level, but also an fun in a certain way as a “telenovela” –or a “soapy political drama”.
In reality, without the “push” of Twitter and social media the show probably would have being canceled in the first season, all the cast of the show has “live-tweeted” extending their brand image into the digital area, in which we have proof of how –we like it or not- social media change television “enhancing” the way people do their TV viewing.
The monster built in this artificial exile, prone to violence and crime has survived in the "Cuban-American enclave" and abroad since 1960, protected and forgiven their crimes of illicit enrichment, violence, blackmail and political corruption, turning Miami in the "Center of terrorism in the United States."
Changes in the composition of this enclave, fed by the historical pattern of constant "disagreements and dissonances" on the migration accords between Cuba and the United States, causes a confrontation of recent hundreds of thousands of economic migrants with strong ties with their loved ones on the island, with the concepts and desires of the exile generation.
The change has begun by them, in Miami and in the island, with the family financing the recently "licensed" private institutions in an unstoppable process, which leads to the questioning of when the social and economic reality will reach political processes.
El monstruo aupado en este exilio artificial, proclive a la violencia y el crimen ha campado por sus respetos en el “enclave cubanoamericano” y fuera de él desde 1960, protegidos y perdona-dos sus delitos de enriquecimiento ilícito, violencia, chantaje y corrupción política, convirtien-do a Miami en el “centro del terrorismo en los Estados Unidos”.
Los cambios en la composición de ese enclave, alimentado por el patrón histórico de constantes “desavenencias y disonancias” en los acuerdos migratorios entre Cuba y los EEUU, provoca un enfrentamiento de los recientes cientos de miles de emigrados económicos con fuertes lazos con sus seres queridos en la isla, con los conceptos y deseos de esa generación exiliada.
El cambio ha comenzado por ellos, en Miami y en la isla, con el financiamiento familiar de las recientemente “autorizadas” instituciones privadas en un proceso indetenible, los cual nos con-duce al cuestionamiento de cuándo la realidad social y económica alcanzará a los procesos po-líticos.
Pretendemos demostrar cómo durante décadas el gobierno federal ha pagado a periodistas hispanos en la Florida directamente o indirectamente a través de diferentes presupuestos destinados a organizaciones sin fines de lucro y ha financiado publicaciones con el pretexto del patriotismo y la lucha contra el comunismo. Este le costó su trabajo a diez periodistas de El Nuevo Herald, a un periodista deportivo de la cadena hispana nacional de televisión Univisión, así como al Director de The Miami Herald y su gemelo en español El Nuevo Herald
Es cotidiana la práctica de estas instituciones de despedir o presionar para que renuncien a periodistas y editores, cuando escándalos como este se presentan. Basado en el Modelo de Propaganda de Cinco filtros de 1988 de Herman y Chomsky, surgen argumentos sobre la colaboración entre medios de comunicación y las instituciones gubernamentales o grupos de poder.
El caso de la cobertura del New York Times de la acumulación de armas de destrucción masiva que condujo a la invasión estadounidense de Irak en 2003, el tema de las armas de destrucción masiva en general, nos enfocan hacia una extensión del modelo del modelo a seis filtros que estudios recientes consideran.
Case specific of this study, the 2006 exposed scandal of journalists of El Nuevo Herald, Spanish version of The Miami Herald and other media in Florida moonlighting of the Voice of America (VOA) service, Radio and TV Martí. We intend to show how for decades the federal Government has paid Hispanic journalists in Florida directly or indirectly through different budgets for non-profit organizations and financed publications with the pretext of patriotism and the fight against communism.
This case cost their work to ten journalists of El Nuevo Herald, a sports writer from the Hispanic television network Univisión, as well as the Director of The Miami Herald and its Spanish twin, El Nuevo Herald, current in these institutions practice to lay off or push for a res-ignation of journalists and editors, when scandals like this arise.
Based on the Herman and Chomsky’s 1988 five-filter propaganda model, the evidence of collaboration between mainstream media and governmental institutions or special interest organizations arise. The case of the New York Times coverage of the build-up towards the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003, the issue of weapons of mass destruction in general, focus us towards an extension of six-filter model that recent studies consider.
Turning from the piracy of content protected by law, as to the intellectual property of the music, images or ideas, the overwhelming barrage of data that represents the Internet and the hundreds of private or public access television channels are not an achievement of our time, but a challenge to the authorities, the law and the privacy of the public.
Personally, do not share the optimism of those who view the prospect of a global village increasingly in control of the masses, but in the sense that it is not the same to indiscriminately distribute information that to ensure a clear reception by the audience, which happens every day, not just in terms of editorial content, but also with advertising.
Lastly, the issue of control of the internet and physical or mental impairment that can be the result of indiscriminate access to the media for the younger population, which can develop addictions to their cell phones, video games and computers, among other systems, brings us to the question: how long and how far can we go?
