They are also a nation that is struggling people need jobs, the island is filled with poverty, and violence, its hard to obtain a visa to go to the United States, crime is rising which is plaguing the prosperous nation. \n\n
- Personal Relevance: Why is his topic important to me? Because the I am of Jamaican Descent and i wanted to know more about my culture that i don&#x2019;t know because i haved lived in America all my life. Most of my family is is Jamaica:Aunties, cousins, speaking of cousins my oldest cousin is helping me with my project. Along with that i want to show the other side of Jamaica. The poverty stricken parts as well as the crime.\nFamily image:&#x201D;http://www.gcjfs.org/images/Black%20Family.jpg&#x201D; \n
