	Caribbean History
		History has shown us that we have been this way for a long time, for example, in the case of absenteeism - we want more and more, but would rather not deal with the fact that we are being horrid in our greed.
		History has also shown us that as long as there are excessively rich people, someone else will suffer, and it would be justified by those who are not suffering.
		However, as history unequivocally shows, Sublimis Deus is purely a theoretical act since there would be no need for an accounting of those declared to be "extinct," nor for the tens of millions who had been eliminated by the end of the 16th century.

		A cultural imperialist approach to Caribbean history focuses on the external factors influencing and dominating a society on which they are imposed.

		Tale after tale of pirate lore that brings to life their unique reality—a brazen flouting of almost every societal rule, disrespect for governmental authority, and unmatched thirst for adventure and brutality, all motivated by a true desire to be free and live their way, and only their way.
