Name some Latin American nations that have recently moved toward democracy.....?
What forces threaten democracy throughout the region?
Name some Latin American nations that have recently moved toward democracy.....?
I guess that depends on what you mean by democracy, and what you mean by recently.
You could say that Nicaragua has moved toward democracy. It was ruled by the Sandinistas (communists) for a while in the 1980s, but has become pretty much a left-leaning capitalist democracy since then. The former Sandinista leader, Daniel Ortega, was democratically elected in November 2006.
So, what forces threaten democracy? Well,think about the power the U.S. exerts in Latin America, about our cheap agriculture (like bananas) and manufacturing (like clothing and furniture) from places like Mexico and Guatemala. Think about how you'd feel about American democracy while your efforts at forming a labor union were squashed by big U.S. companies.
Or you could just say communism and its leaders like Chavez and Castro, which is the standard answer.
Reply:RECENTLY??? Are you kiddin' me? The Bush administration over the past 6 years has made Democracy look like the worst imaginable form of government. Like the Iraqis, Latin American's aren't moving toward it; they're runnin' like hell in the other direction!
Reply:Almost all of them moved from dictatorships to democracies from about 1980 to about 1995. The only exceptions were Cuba (still a dictatorship), Costa Rica, Colombia and Venezuela (those are democracies for a longer time). Mexico wasn't a dictatorship neither a perfect democracy, difficult to explain.
The biggest threat to democracy in the region recently is the rising of far-leftist presidents. But those will probably not install a authoritarian governent. It's possible to say that democracy in the region is well stablished nowadays.

Name 10 Latin poets?
Extra points If
a) you add a line ot two describing them in a way that suggest you have read their work
b) if some of them are post classical!
That means you can include mediaeval writers of hymns!
Name 10 Latin poets?
I think you're asking too much from us! lol Ok, I'll give it a try since I studied Latin for almost 4 years.
Columella : He's a classic writer. He was a farmer, a very famous farmer in Italy (most of his relatives were farmers, so he inherited this quality) so he mostly put farming "language" in his poetry.
Horace: I think he's one of the best know lyric poets in the world! Some of his works and words are still used today, some don't realize how Horace has influenced their language: "Carpe diem" (seize the day" ) comes from him. Even though he was a Roman born, he used Greek metres from the hexameter (I hope I spelt it right!).
Juvenal: that's how he's called in English, but in Latin is IUVENALIS which means Juvenile. His best known work is "The Satires", a description of society and community "mores" (customes and traditions, morals). This work is not to be mistaken to a real description of how life in Rome was. It's just a personal description.
Virgil: one of my favourites (after Caesar, he's the best!). I like his main work, the Aeneid, describing the life of a hero , Aeneas, who would then become the forefather of Rome. That's why he's considered a pivotal author in Rome. His tomb is still in Rome, sacred to the modern day Roman population.
Statius: I don't really like this one, but I had to study his works at school. Statius was very good at improvisations, and it is said that he could dictate two hundred lines in an hour while standing on one leg. That's amazing! His best know work is called "Silvae", but he also wrote some less-noted poems, but which took long elaboration from Statius.
Martial: he too is very famous, especially for his "Epigrams", and they're such an excellent work that he's even considered the master creator of modern Epigrams. In this he also clealry and fully describes life in Rome from his viewpoint.
Ovid: he was a very sensible writer, talking mostly about love, women and mythological transformations. Many authors admit being influenced by him, like Dante.
Catullus: He's another major in Latin poetry. He wrote 116 "carmina", which also include some epigrams. His works are interesting because you can see that he was influenced by Greek poetry as well. He was also a big fan of Sappho.
Jan Kochanowski: that's not in Roman times, he was a Polish poet in the Renaissance time. His earliest poems were entirely written in Latin. However, the rest of his works aren't.
Petrarch: he was a humanist in the Renaissance period. Even though he's best known for his Italian poetry, he was more interested in writing in Latin. An example is SECRETUM (which means SECRET, but what he meant is SECRET BOOK) in which he has a personal dialogue in Latin with Augustine of Hippo, and DE VIRIBUS ILLUSTRIBUS (about illustruous men) , a series of moral biographies.
I think that's even more than 10!! I hope it helped.

How do you say "where everybody knows your name" in latin?
or even just "everybody knows your name."
How do you say "where everybody knows your name" in latin?
Locus in quo omnes tuum nomen noscunt.
Don't really see an indirect question here. The 'where' is used as a relative, not an interrogatory. "Ubi' could also be used as a relative, but it seems like 'Locus in quo' (Place in which) fits better.
Reply:Since it's a clause and an indirect question:
ubi omnes nomen tuum noverint
It's a place where everybody knows your name =
Locus ubi omnes nomen tuum noverint est.
I think. With English-to-Latin, there isn't much that I'm positive about!
EDIT: Yeah, such things don't exist in English (or any language younger than 2500 years old!). Since 'ubi' ('where') is a question word ('Where does everyone know your name?') within a noun clause, even though the (hypothetical) sentence is a statement, that clause is an indirect question. However, I'm only about 80% sure, which is why I included all that stuff, hoping that, if I'm wrong, someone will say so.

The white shark's latin name is Carcharodon carcharias, what it mean?
Their genus name "Carcharodon" comes from the Greek words "carcharos" meaning ragged and "odon" meaning tooth.
"Carcharias" also comes from "carcharos"
The white shark's latin name is Carcharodon carcharias, what it mean?
It is a dinosaur named "carcharodontosaurus saharicus". No shark's genus name is "charcarodon".
Reply:The great white shark, Carcharodon carcharias, also known as white pointer, white shark, or white death, is an exceptionally large lamniforme shark found in coastal surface waters in all major oceans. Reaching lengths of about 6 metres (20 ft) and weighing almost 2,000 kilograms (4,400 lb), the great white shark is the world's largest known predatory fish. It is the only known surviving species of its genus, Carcharodon. They are also regarded as an apex predator with its only real threats from humans and at least in one incident the Orca.[1] Although their diets overlap greatly, there are few reports of encounters between orcas and great whites, and they don't seem to directly compete with each other

Name that Latin song in a commercial?!?
Ok so this is extremely limited info, but I'm stuck. There's this commercial that has been playing recently, and to be honest I've never paid attention to who makes the commercial because the song is so interesting. It's a Latin beat that has maracas in it and basically starts out with something that sounds like "Todo let's GO!" and on the GO or whatever the word is they do a drum beat and maraca sound to emphasize the beat on that word. It repeats three times before going into the song that has very fast spanish lyrics. Any help?
Name that Latin song in a commercial?!?
A bit tricky! Try to catch it again, then go to www.adtunes.com - just use their search feature and type in the brand name, and/or a key visual idea from the commercial, e.g. "squirrel", "dancing", "aliens", etc.
Make sure you set the search time frame to the max - one year, I think - so you don't miss any possible older results. Add details if you can, like a snippet of the lyrics.
Other choices are sites called www.splendad.com or www.duncans.tv.
For UK ads, try:

or
www.whatsthattune.co.uk
Hope that helps - the answer should be on one of these! It's possible, however, that it might have been created specially for the ad.
