Culture

The culture ofCubais a complex mixture of different, often contrasting, factors and

influences. Much of Cuban culture, especiallyCuban music, is instantly recognized throughout the

world.

Music

The music of Cuba, including the instruments and the dances, is mostly of European and African

origin. Most forms of the present day are creolized fusions and mixtures of these two great sources.Almost nothing remains of the original Indian traditions.

One of the main rhythmic fusions in Cuban music is theson. Other typical Cuban forms are

thehabanera, thehuarache, the damson, therumba, thebolero, thecachucha, the mambo,

thecha-cha-cha, the pinto, and many variations on these themes.[5]

Cuban music has been

immensely popular and influential in other countries. It was the original basis ofsalsaand

contributed not only to the development ofjazz, but also to Argentineantango, Ghanaianhigh-life,

West African Afro beat, and Spanishflamenco. Within modern Cuba, there are also popular

musicians working in therockandreggae tonidioms.

Cubanhip-hopis one of the latest genres of music to be embraced not only by the country's youth

but also, more reluctantly, by thegovernment. Initially, hip-hop was shunned by the authorities,because of its affiliation to America and capitalism. As more Cuban youth put their own energy and

style into the music, Cuban hip-hop eventually became more acceptable.

Sports

TheCuba national baseball teamfinished second in the first Cclassic against the Japanese

national team.Boxingis also rather popular. They also enjoybasketball,track and field,volleyball,

andrugby union.

Every year, Cuba holds the School Sports Games, a competition and is like the best for school

students.

Language.

Many words from Cuban Amerindian languages have entered common usage in both Spanish and

English, such as theTainewordscanoe,tobaccoandhurricane. Some of the place names are

Indian, such asGuanabacoa, andGuanajay.

Religion

Cuba's policy on religion has changed much since 1959, when religious Cubans were persecutedand could be denied jobs or an education by the government.

Another large religion in Cuba isSanteria. Santeria is ablendof Catholicism and traditionalYoruba

religions. When Africanslavesfirst arrived in Cuba during the 16th century, they were taught a few

simpleprayersand werebaptizedby the Spanish. The slaves combined this limited form of

Catholicism with their traditional religions to create Santeria, which survives to this day. During

colonial times and into the early Republic, many Cubans suffered from intense ethnocentrism and

confused Afro-Cuban religion with black magic and witchcraft. This caused them to associate

practitioners of Santeria and other Afro-Cuban cultures with criminals and the underworld, and to

discriminate against practitioners without understanding the nature of their religion.

Domestic violence

The main constituent for domestic violence is more of a socio-economic factor.

Contributors to this are saying that "the US Embargo Act" [18]is a main constituent

to this because of a lack of medicines and promotes hardships in the home which

could lead to domestic violence. It has been said in many sources that the

economic conditions in Cuba affect the relationship within the marriages. However,

studies show that "among the key causes of family violence in Cuba is the

continued existence of a patriarchal family law." On the positive side, "the FCW

demonstrate that there is a low incidence of domestic violence in Cuba

Abortion

Abortion in Cuba is somewhat liberal, even though there is aCatholicinfluence.

Cuba moved away from the Catholic Church, abortion was no longer illegal and no

longer had negative social or religious consequences for women. The Church has

little to no impact on the way women think about abortion. The use of

contraceptives, birth control, and abortions seem to keep family sizes somewhat

small and "modern" in comparison to otherLatin Americancountries. This in turn

makes the Cuban more of a cohesive unit. What is meant by "cohesive" is thatfamilies with less children tend to give more attention to the fewer children they

actually have

EconomyThe (economy ofCubais a largely centrallyplanned economydominated by state-run enterprises

overseen by theCubangovernment, though there remains significant foreign investment and

private enterprise in Cuba. Most of the means of production are owned and run by the government,

and most of the labor force is employed by the state, although in recent years, the formation

ofcooperativesand self-employment has been encouraged by the Communist Party.

In the year 2000, public sector employment was 76% and private sector employment was 23%

compared to the 1981 ratio of 91% to 8%.]Capital investment is restricted and requires approval by

the government. The Cuban government sets most prices and rations goods to citizens. In 2009,

Cuba ranked 51st out of 182 with anHDIof 0.863; remarkably high considering its GDP per capita

only places it 95th.Public services and transport in Cuba however are regarded to be second-rate

compared with its more developed counterparts on the mainland.

In the 1950s, Cuba had a vibrant but extremely unequal economy, with large

capital outflows to foreign investors.[7]In the 1950s, Cuba'sgross domestic

product(GDP) per capita was roughly equal to that of contemporary Italy, and

significantly higher than that of countries such as Japan, although Cuba's GDP per

capita was still only a sixth as large as that of the United States. The country has

made significant progress since the Revolution towards a more even distribution of

income and Cuba has been placed under economic embargo by the United States.

The economy grew intermittently under Castro until the collapse of the Soviet

Union, which provided Cuba with $4 billion to $6 billion in subsidies annually.

Between 1990 and 1993, Cuba's GDP declined by 33%, partially due to loss of

Soviet subsidies. Yet Cuba has managed to retain high levels of healthcare and

education

Natural ResourcesCuba is blessed by its rich land. It has concentrated mineral wealth in nickel, wood, and

petroleum. In fact, Cuba has enough petroleum deposits in offshore wells that, once it

develops the machinery to extract the oil, it can become self sufficient and will not need toimport oil. Besides mineral wealth, Cuba also has a strong fishing industry that caters to

the foreign markets [exports] and the tourist hotels in Cuba.

taller than the same crop in Indiana at the same time?

The most important natural resource in Cuba is agriculture. Cuban

farmers are able to cultivate a wide array of products, including rice,

beans, and many others. Can you identify the products pictured here?

They are items readily available in a common superstore:

Topography

Cuba's spectacular natural beauty has earned it the name Pearl of the Antilles. The

coastline is marked by bays, reefs, keys, and islets. Along the southern coast are long

stretches of lowlands and swamps, including the great Zapata Swamp (Coinage de Zapata).

Slightly more than half the island consists of flat or rolling terrain and the remainder is

hilly or mountainous, with mountains covering about a quarter of its total area. In general,

eastern Cuba is dominated by the Sierra Maestra, culminating in Pico Real del Tarquinii

2,005 m/6,578 ft.); around Camagey are rolling plains and low mountains; central Cuba

contains the Trinidad (Escambray) Mountains in addition to flat or rolling land; and the

west is dominated by the Sierra de los Organs. The largest river, the Cauto, flows westward

for 249 km (155 mi) north of the Sierra Maestra but is little used for commercial navigationpurposes.

good because they celebrates whit an important and interesting things

estates have a good things and I think that Cuba have almost beautiful
