Customer Review: Gaby Spanic Rocks!
When I seen this novela I was so glued to the TV I couldn't wait to see it everyday and sat-sun were the worse! I am so very happy they release such a classic on DVD. Granted, it may be edited and short but I think the reason why they did that was because they figured people who are buying it already know what happens. In my case, I wouldn't need the complete novela because I already saw it and I just wouldn't have the time. So this being edited has it's advantages for those who already saw it and loved it. After this novela, Gaby Spanic became one of my favorite spanish actresses! She did such a wonderful job and how brutal she was portraying the mean sister! I highly suggest you invest in this novela!
Customer Review: A Fantastic Story!!
A nice edited telenovela..you guys should buy this..even though there's no subtitile..but you can easily understand the whole story..you guys should buy this DVD!!
INTRODUCTION:
From my perspective, I think that democracy is synonymous of equality between women and men in the civil society and government. Ironically, there are more women voters, but fewer women candidates. However, From my point of view I think that Parity Democracy is the big difference between democracies and dictatorships.I remembered that the Talibans regime the worst dictatorship in the modern history- prohibited women from participating in Afghanistans National Government.In 1990 Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, a pro-dremocracy activist, won the elections in Myanmar (ex-Burma), but she was arrested and the results were cancelled abruptly by dictator Saw Maung.
Certainly, international organizations reports that 10 democracies have the highest proportion of women in its governmental structures: Sweden, Denmark, Finland, The Netherlands, Iceland, Germany, New Zealand, Mozambique, South Africa and Spain.Another example: under the Administration of Bill Clinton, Madeleine Albright was the first female Secretary of State.
Sri Lanka, formerly named Ceylan, is the home to Sirimavo Ratwate Dias Bandaranaike. She was often described as one of the most important females in the history: Mrs Bandaranaike became Worlds first female Prime Minister. She influenced Prime Minister from Janet Jagan to Gro Harlem Brundtland with her leadership for womens rights and democracy.
Inspired by example of the Women Revolution in Sri Lanka, Pakistan, India and Bangla Desh, Chandrika Kumaratunga, Bandaraikes daughter, was elected Head of State in 1994.Her government was very similar that of her mother.
Certainly, there were fewer governments by womens leaders as Violeta Barrios de Chamorro, who has fought for the democracy and womens rights in Nicaragua, one of the most poorest countries in Latin America.
Finally I would like to finish my article with my favourite personal motto: The future is for those people who believe in the beauty of their dreams, by Anna Eleanor Roosevelt Roosevelt, who was First Lady of the United States between 1933 and 1945.
