21. Belize Culture
    belize culture. Probably the best known manifestation of Argentine popular culture is the tango a dance and music which has captured the imagination  
    http://www.donquijote.org/tourist/profiles/paises/belize/culture.asp
    
    Extractions: Where to go When to go History Culture European influences permeate Argentina's art, architecture, literature and lifestyle. However, in the field of literature in particular, this has been a cross-cultural transaction, with Argentina producing writers of international stature such as Jorge Luis Borges, Julio Cortázar, Ernesto Sábasto, Manuel Puig and Osvaldo Soriano. With the education of many Argentines taking place in Europe, Buenos Aires in particular has self-consciously emulated European cultural trends in art, music and architecture. As a result, there are many important art museums and galleries in the city, and it has a vigorous theater community. Argentine cinema has also achieved international stature, and has been used as a vehicle to exorcise the horrors of the Dirty War. There are 17 native languages, including Quechua, Mapuche, Guaraní, Tobas and Matacos. Meat dominates Argentina's menus, and 'meat' means beef. Mixed grills (parrillada) are apparently the way to go, serving up a cut of just about every part of the animal: tripe, intestines, udders - the lot. In this vegetarian's nightmare, Italian favorites, such as gnocchi (ñoquis), are a welcome alternative. Exquisite Argentine ice cream (helado) deserves a special mention - again reflecting Italian influences. The sharing of mate, Paraguayan tea, is a ritual more than a beverage, and if offered is a special expression of acceptance. The leaves, a relation to holly, are elaborately prepared and the mixture is drunk from a shared gourd.

26. THE BELIZE CULTURE LIST DEBATE ON JOBS, AND ETHNIC PERCEPTIONS, Belize Developme
    REPORT 199 Mar 2000 THE belize culture LIST DEBATE ON JOBS, AND ETHNIC PERCEPTIONS. Produced by the Belize Development Trust  
    http://belize1.com/BzLibrary/trust199.html
    
    Extractions: Mel and Ashley are certainly philosphers. ( Debate on ethnic problems and employment) But from where I stand, the argument that townies think Chinese are taking their jobs is false. When I say townies, the majority are Creoles. When I first immigrated to the colony of British Honduras, I was one of only about six "whites" in the whole country, that were not either in the British Army, or colonial service, but simply immigrants. At that time, the CREOLES or townies dominated the country, yet even at that time with over 75% of all jobs and all businesses and control of all government services, they still complained of racial discrimination. Go figure that one out! I never could as a "white minority". The complaints have never stopped. There is more here than meets the eye. It is a cultural inheritance. An idea that townies ( Creoles ) are owed something by the government. In particular a 40 hour a week salaried job. But pray tell, where is the government going to get the money to pay for a salaried job for every townie? It doesn't exist in any history of Central European countries over the last 200 years and they are white countries. They faced the same exact problems, with agricultural economies ( non industrial) and a government composed of privileged aristocrats, royalty and those politically famous, or in the military. All of them suffered the same result, which was national bankruptcy, for trying to provide jobs to townies in an economy that could not support them.

    http://belize1.com/BzLibrary/trust228.html
    
    Extractions: (IS THE BELIZE GOVERNMENT RUN BY OPPORTUNISTS, ROGUES, SCOUNDRELS AND SCALLIWAGS?) Interesting question? What makes a person run for political office? What is the motivation? Among the people currently elected as our representatives; which among them, are sincerely dedicated to the cause of building a nation of Belize? On the other hand, which of them are taking advantage solely for the purpose of making more money and perks than they can in their regular home city civilian life? Which of them have any real life experience proven ability to do well in private business, or running the business of the nation of Belize? The voting electoral system we inherited from colonial days, was the population system. The place with the most population gets the most places in the government. In our case, and that of many African countries and Latin American countries; this gives people who live in the cities the largest say in what happens to the country for the future. But is this wise? You had many people represent Belizeans in the last government that were only in office for one term. Yet they not only got a very good salary by Belizean standards, foreign travel perks and other advantages. They also got a gratuity and a lifetime pension if they would quit. Most of them did just that. Set up for life at the expense of the voters and Belizean taxpayers because they were well paid to do a job only for five years. Now, that has to be called opportunistic. What would you call it? Would you categorize such people as rogues, scoundrels and scalliwags? Selfish self-interest and all that?

    Extractions: The Maya built breathtaking temple complexes aligned to the movement of celestial bodies. Although they remained technically a Stone Age culture, they also developed sophisticated mathematics, astronomy and calendars. The Spanish constructed some plain stone churches, but the modern architecture is predominantly British Caribbean in style. Belize is officially English-speaking, but the creoles (the largest ethnic group) speak their own colorful dialect as well as standard English. Spanish is the main language in the north and some towns in the west. You may also hear Mayan, Chinese, Mennonite German, Lebanese, Arabic, Hindi and Garífuna (the language of the Garinagu people of Stann Creek district) being spoken. Belize has never really developed a national cuisine. Its cooking borrows elements from the UK, the USA, Mexico and the Caribbean. The traditional staples are rice and beans. These are often eaten with chicken, pork, beef, fish or vegetables. Coconut milk and fried plaintain add a tropical flavor. Exotic traditional foods include armadillo, venison and fried paca, a controversial brow n-spotted rodent (similar to a guinea pig) that conservationist-gourmets won't touch with a ten foot cassava.

Introduction The advent of the World Wide Web has created immense opportunities for developing countries. Direct and almost immediate access to information and experts through the Internet has many implications. The things you can do to effect development and social change through Internet library resources seem to be unlimited. Because this is such an innovative, specialized field we found very little literature on the subject. This article is a first-hand account of the creation of a digital library to serve the needs of a developing country: Belize. A Little About Belize In co-operation with some Belizeans on a Belize list serve (bz-culture-request@psg.com), we decided to start a digital library to serve the needs of the small country of Belize. Belize is an English-speaking, Central American independent nation on the western edge of the Caribbean Sea. Its total area is 22,960 square kilometers, or slightly larger than Massachusetts. In 1973, the country changed its name from British Honduras to Belize in anticipation of obtaining its independence from England. Belize became an independent nation in 1981. The original inhabitants of the region were the Maya. Many Maya ruins, like Caracol, Lamanai, and Xunantunich, are being uncovered today. The country's population is composed mainly of Creoles, Mestizos, Garifuna (of African and Carib ancestry), and Maya. According to the U.S. Bureau of the Census, International Database, the estimated total population for 1998 was 230,160, at an average annual growth rate of 2.4 for 1990-2000.

This society consists of Creole, Garifuna, Spanish, English, Mestizo, Lebanese, Chinese, Maya and East Indian. The largest group is made up of Mestizos, which account for over 40% of the population. The Mestizos are descendents of mixed blood Mexicans and Yacatec Mayans who fled from the Yucatan in the mid 1800's. The second largest of these groups are the Creole, which comprise about 30% of the population. Creoles are the descendants of the early British settlers cohabitating with African slaves from Jamaica. Two thirds of the Creole population lives in Belize City the capital of Belize. They are featured in political parties, the media and the civil service.

Belize hosts protected areas of coral reef and tropical rainforests, alive with hundreds of bird species, colorful fish, exotic plants and animals. Added features of this nature lover's paradise are inland granite basins at the base of cascading falls whose waters flow through limestone caves en route from the Maya Mountains and tall swaying palm trees bordering sun-drenched beaches of offshore island cayes dotting the Caribbean. Joining these two "sides" of Belize are a network of rivers, giant Maya pyramids, caves strewn with Maya pottery, coastal towns and villages.
