    Miami has very long and unique history making itself different from other cities. What makes Miami different from other cities is the profound affect the Cuban and Haitians immigrants had in that current time and forward.

    I think which countries a government decides to trade with determines who that country is. Let's look at this in terms of people. I'm young, 22, and I'm just starting to get out in the world, I've experienced many times how the wrong friends can negatively impact my own image. Even who my family is can have that negative effect. My gene pool is filled with every drug you can imagine. I don't tell this to employers. It almost cost me the job I wanted. I wanted to change positions, something with better hours, higher pay, better chance of being recognized for a promotion and more enjoyable work; I was able to get the position but after my boss learned of my family, she treated me different, as if I was going to go down the same road. Why wouldn't she? Every person in my family does, so what makes me different? That's an extreme situation though. Let's say it's just a couple of friends that are troublemakers, mostly misdemeanors. If your name gets attached to one of those misdemeanors, it's tainted forever.…

    When Mary begins to go through the pains of childbirth, she is taken by the angel Gabriel to an isolated stream with a date palm tree. There, she bears Jesus as a child untouched by sin and Mary is able to rest, shaking the palm to allow as many dates to fall as she pleases. The Arab-Islamic influences make themselves plain here in the form of the date-bearing palm, a traditional fruit in the Arab Gulf region that fails to appear in the Christian Gospels’ accounts of the birth of Jesus. It provides an example of the Arab influences on the Quran and the selective editing of the Christological narrative so as to better fit a story which aligns with the development and geography of Islam.…
