Panama Economy and Politics

    Throughout the 20th century, the country of Panama had a constitutional democracy. But in 1968 a group of rioters gave military power. By the 1980s, Panamanian General Manuel Noriega got in control of the government. In economical and diplomatic pressure was unsuccessful in bringing down Noriega, George Bush, former U.S. president, had American troops get rid of the dictator and bring back the democracy using the government operation "Just Cause" during around 1991.

    Unlike America, Panama is a constitutional representative democracy. The set up is like the United Stated government, meaning the government is divided into the executive, legislative, and judicial branches. Something that is unique to me is that the president is elected for a 5-year term. President also selects the national cabinet. Two elected vice-presidents serve 5-year terms as well. The legislative branch has only 1 chamber legislature, unlike the U.S. being made of the House of Representatives and the Senate. It holds 71 members who are elected for 5-year terms. In the States, four hundred thirty-five members of the house are elected every two years. The Judicial Branch has two member of each of the United States and runs for six years. The Judicial Branch in Panama consists contains a supreme court, five superior courts and three courts of appeal.

    The Democratic Revolutionary Party (PRD) has the largest portion of Panama. The PRD favors the young and urban poor of the country based on the economy matters. The Arnulfista Party (PA) is based among Panama's rural population and is the nation's current president. The Popular Block party is a combustion of former Christian Democrats and pro-business groups such as the National Liberal Republican Movement and Democratic Change. Those type of parties lean towards the wealthy and business owners of the country.

Why Travel There

  Lets Go Visit          Unlike most counties, such as Mexico or northern South America where crime is high, it is a rule in Panama to stay away from confrontation. They pretty much have petty theft crimes. Another beautiful reason is that the currency is the same. They use US dollars. With many Credit cards they do not " c harge extra fees for making purchases in Panama, ATM’s are easy to use, and international wire transfers are straight forward, making purchasing just like home."      In the Panama Culture, they are cheerful and try to help you even if you don't speak their same language. As stated in another Blog, the government is trying to make it easy for the people who are there. In other words, the cost of living is very cheap.

Self Assessment

     Lessons From Class      The blogging is not hard. It is in fact teaching me more about the subject in hand. It is the ability on my hand of being able to sit down and do it on time. Time management is very important but I need to find my balance in the the importance in school. I do not like setting a minimal  on how much to right, but I would like to know what is acceptable to my blogs can go beyond. I like to think I am putting in a lot of effort in my blogs. I do not like procrastinating. If I am able to complete it then I would like to complete it then. In my line of work it is hard to make time to do so though. I have can to an understand that I must go down in days and hours so that I may progress in my classes. As I type my blogs, I tend to reread the same sentences or go back a few sentence sentences to make sure the sound of it flows and goes correctly. I like to encourage criticism. It helps me and pushes me to write better and points out things I may have not caught. So

About Me

 Hey Everyone! I am twenty-two years old, and have one five year-old boy, as well as one on the way. I am eager to start this semester working to my dream career as a nurse. I know school will be stressful, so I usually unwind with expressing myself thru art, cooking, and other abilities, such as voice impersonations. I started to do voice overs from famous cartoons in the summer between middle and high school. Enthusiasm is key to anything to me, especially when it comes to something you are passionate about.
