Caricom s Proposal Rectify The Economic Problems And...

Caricom’s proposal seeks to rectify the Caribbean countries economic state due to years of abuse by the European nations of the world. The European countries not only depleted the Caribbean Island’s resources, but they also allowed the forced mass migration of African slaves to this region in their favor. Stolen lives in a new territory created a deathly environment and hazardous conditions for the newly placed tribe of people. Death followed slaves like shadows forever lingering right behind them because it was imminent at any time. Cultural changes were unavoidable due to the high native death toll; this is the part of the reason for the slave trade across the Atlantic. The European nations benefited immensely from raping the resources of many regions in the world, including the Caribbean, and they changed/eliminated cultures and groups of people. Now, we are at a time and place in the world where we can correctly identify the ongoing economic problems and changes cau sed by the actions of Europe’s ancestors. Should the European nations of the world correct the wrongdoings of their forefathers by helping the Caribbean modernize and improve their current predicament? Yes. Presently, Europe is prosperous in many ways that are unmatched by that of the Caribbean. Nevertheless, Europe must lend the Caribbean assistance as a way of paying society for their previous convictions. The Atlantic slave trade provided a means for laborers that were used in the Caribbean. Robert Strayer
