Elizabeth and his length crossed to come to the throne.

When the King Enrique married Ana Bolena, she already had months of gestation, hoping that he was a male, but when Elizabeth was born the monarch suffered a terrible disappointment. The fact of illuminated credit a female debilitated considerably the situation of the queen, even more when the disillusioned father met obliged to break definitively with Rome and to declare the independence of the Anglican Church. Time later Ana was beheaded, Elizabeth was declared bastard and stayed in the same situation that his step-sister Mary, daughter of the first marriage Henry VIII with Catalina of Aragon.

There rose to the throne Juana Seymour, the only wife of Henry VIII that an inheritor gave to him male. Dead Juana Seymour, Ana de Cleves and Catalina Howard encircled successively the crown, being relieved finally by a lady, the nice and kind Catalina Parr. Little before the sixth wedding of the king, the decrees of bastardy of Mary and Elizabeth were revoked and both were called to the court. Catalina fifteen days later married Thomas Seymour, brother of the late queen Juana.

Thomas Seymour was seeking to be a king and had studied detailed all his possibilities. For it it proposed to seduce the young woman Elizabeth, after being surprised; the princess was confined in Hatfield.

Elizabeth supported Mary I, who was called bloody Mary and in 1558 when he dies, in agreement to the testament of Henry VIII,  Elizabeth had to come to the throne. The catholic party returned to use his arguments it brings over of the illegitimacy of the inheritor and it supported the pretensions of his premium Mary I Estuardo of Scotland. Nevertheless, the mistakes of the previous reign and Elizabeth's known nonchalance in the religious polemic did that she ended up by being accepted. Also it influenced his acceptance his young, beautiful and healthy aspect, which was contrasting notably with that of his two step-brothers: sickly one, grown older and embittered other one.

The Maori Tribe : Respect and Tradition

The Maori is a tribe located in the northeast of New Zeland's North Island. Due to the centuries of isolation, the Maori community has created a whole new community, with a characteristic art, language, and obviusly, an unique mythology.

One of the most important aspects of the Maori mythology, is the role that whales played on their culture. For them, the whales are a significant part of their culture. This because in the past, they use to get materials and food from them. Also, whales were considered as guardians for the Maori when they goes to canoe journeys.

The whales use to be called "Ika Moana" which means "Fish of the sea", later this name changed depending in the kind of whale and in the different tribes, which have different names for whales too.

Even when many aspects of the Maori people have changed since the European arrival in the 18th century, its amazing how many traditional aspects have lived. One of these aspects are their traditional dances, which are danced nowdays. One example of this is the New Zeland rugby team, who always before every game, dance the traditional dance of the Maori tribe.


The Maori people refuses to be separated from their roots, we can clearly see this when we know that the Maori language has revived, thanks to the Kohanga Reo, where preschool childrens learn to speak Maori, incluiding the native language since the first years. Also, the beliefs of the Maori culture are very respected, maybe if the same attitude would be taken here in Chile, we could be more culturally rich, living in peace with those who were here before all of us.

Racism Nowadays

            We can’t say that  because the black people have the same civil rights that white the racism is over, there is still people who think that black people are inferior or bad people.

          The African Americans have a really negative stereotype, and the problem is that so many white people take this like a truth, they see them like thieves, violent and uneducated people. And I think that the worst thing is that some policemen believes those stereotypes and sometimes they arrest some black people without any real proof just because they suspects based on a negative stereotype. So that’s because that funny phrase “it’s because I’m Black?” is not so funny when just being black is the reason of being arrested.

           

          Maybe black people sometimes act violently and some of them show hate to the white people but that’s not because their colour, is because they are upset of discrimination and I know that violence is not the way of resolving the problems but we must understand their reaction. 

         Some TV shows, make fun about racism and the people enjoy it because it is a satire but there are so many TV series, and movies that shows negative stereotypes of black people and that is worst the news shows black people more than white people doing bad things. 

          Well we just must not forget that the discrimination against the black people is not the only one, there are so many ethnics who are discriminated and there are people who are discriminated for any reason. The issue is that at less in the United States the racism against black people is more than against other ethnics.Black people don’t ask for more civil rights than white people, they don’t ask for a special good treatment they just want equality they just want don’t be discriminated.

          

          

Elizabeth I and the influence of Anne Boleyn

The relationship between Queen Elizabeth I of England and her mother is not an extremely well known topic. As most people might know, Elizabeth’s mother, Anne Boleyn, was executed when Elizabeth was very young (she was only  two years and 8 months old). However, many people believe that Anne had a quite important influence in her daughter.

Some people say that the Virgin Queen never mentioned her mother; some others believe that she talked about her mother twice. Whereas she did or she didn’t, it is well known that Elizabeth wore a locket ring with a miniature of Anne Boleyn along with one of Elizabeth herself until her death.

  As the common saying goes, “actions speak louder than words.” Although she didn’t talk about her mother as much as a proud daughter would (perhaps it was something dangerous to do, considering the circumstances in which her mother died), she did have the image of Anne with her, so she probably had some love for her mother –This is a speculation, though.

Some people claim that, although she wanted a son to please the king, Anne Boleyn loved her daughter Elizabeth. Some says that she visited her when she had the chance and that she enjoyed the little time.  Anne also made sure that her daughter was always treated well, was surrounded by trustful relatives of her and that she had got many gifts and the finest clothes.

Besides the love that Anne had for her, Elizabeth inherited many things from her mother. Not only her eyes and physical features, but her charisma and intelligence also.  Some people think that Anne Boleyn could have been a great queen, but she used her intelligence for her own ambitions. Elizabeth, in the other hand, used her intelligence and qualities to lead England to a golden age.

Anne Boleyn’s life and story also could have been an important part of Elizabeth’s life. Her bad choices and unfortunate decisions may have been crucial for Elizabeth choices and an important influence for the way she lived her life as the Virgin Queen.  Truth be told, Elizabeth was what she was for many reasons, but certainly, Anne Boleyn was an important part of it.
