Can someone reword this small essay? I don't really understand this one The phrase "no man is an island" can be easily applied to the case of Cuban politics. What the phrase means is that no person can remain unaffected by his context or by the actions of other people around him. We can extend this metaphor to describe the situation of different countries in the international arena.
In the case of Cuba, much of its cultural, historical and political legacy has been influenced by the actions of other countries. Cuba was colonized by the Spanish, which affected its development during the modern period. Moreover, after independence, it engaged in a revolution for full autonomy. During these years, Cuba has adopted a communist ideology that was influenced by the Soviet Union. However, this made Cuba an enemy of the United States, this relationship and the eventual dismantling of the Soviet Union has shaped much of the recent history of the island.
Past events have affected Cuba in many ways, but it is unclear how the island will develop in the future. It is likely that, as time goes by, capitalism will be more accepted in Cuba. This is likely to increase the relationship between Cuba and the United States.

our democratic-republican government is based on the idea of the natural right of every individual member thereof to . . a vote in making and executing the laws.

explanation:

yeah! it's really me with my homework, you should try it!

the speech this question is referring to is president kennedy's special message to the congress on urgent national needs, may 25, 1961

kennedy responds in a very direct and concrete way to those thinking that communism is a positive system:

"yet their aggression is more often concealed than open. they have fired no missiles; and their troops are seldom seen. they send arms, agitators, aid, technicians and propaganda to every troubled area. but where fighting is required, it is usually done by others--by guerrillas striking at night, by assassins striking alone--assassins who have taken the lives of four thousand civil officers in the last twelve months in vietnam alone--by subversives and saboteurs and insurrectionists, who in some cases control whole areas inside of independent nations." (kennedy)

president kennedy presents communism as cowardly, as a hidden and treacherous weapon that strikes from the shadows like thieves, he represents the system as not even being capable of showing and open and overt attack or confrontation. to finish up the response, he expresses that the system attacks even a country's idependence and freedom.
