Zac, I think white Americans like to say that the restavecs in Haiti are slaves for the same reason that they've done everything in the past 200 years: to bring Haiti to its knee. They want Haiti to pay for being the first black nation to challenge white superiority during the colonial period.

As for the school; both choices are fine. I don't know a lot about Georgia Tech except that it's a good school.

However, at least three people in my family graduated from NYU. The all had great things to say about it. The thing is that deciding which school to go to has a lot more to do with your personal situation and what you want to study.

Your choice should be based on those things.

NYU is located in a very urban area. It is much more diverse than Georgia Tech. However, the teaching methods at NYU is a lot less personal than GT, and you would really have to figure out most things on your own. You should also check out the cost for each school, and if the courses they offer meet your needs.

Most colleges have their courses listed online.

If I were you, I would visit both schools before I make a decision.

If you can't afford to fly to them, you can take a Grayhound...students travel on it all the time. Let me know what you decide.

The topic is: sir how is haiti a latin country

Hi Linda, regarding my school choices, as I said I have a cousin who goes to Georgia Tech I have visited him on campus twice. The school is in Atlanta, the last time I was there I spoke to one of the admission counselors, she said I would be a good f > >

Being a latin country does not have anything to do with geographical location. A country is considered latin if the language spoken by its inhabitants derive from Latin. French is spoken in Haiti, and French derives from Latin, that is the reason why > >

Tous les pays qui ont ete colononises par des pays latins deviennent automatiquement des pays latins aussi.C'est dans cet optique que Mr Will a raison,ceux qui refusent de l'admettre font tout simplement preuve de manque de comprehension envers leurs > >

NO! No! Mr. Dupri. It is not just countries which were colonised by Latin countries that are now considered part of Latin America; it is all countries whose language have Latin at their roots, hence, what we usually refer to as the romance languages. > >

After reading what you wrote to me I've realized that you didn't really understand me.What you said to me is just what I have said.Haiti became a latin country for the simple reason that it has been colonised by several latin countries such as Spain > >

Robert; I check the site periodically to see what is going on. However, I don't address any of the issues because I've have already done so so many times that I am tired of it. I will keep checking in to see if anything is new, but I have spent too m > >

Haiti is a latin country because we have inherited a latin culture, but with a different language (French is latin based too). Even though that Mexico, Central America and the spanish carribean are located in different areas, they are part of the sam > >
