          Some things to know about Barbados
       
         Barbados is a Caribbean island and is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean. Languages spoken include English and Bajan. Surprisingly enough this island is under the rule of Queen Elizabeth 2nd, which is classified as a Monarchy. The first people to live on this island (indigenous people) immigrated from Venezuela. Eventually, the Portuguese stumbled upon this island, on the trail to Brazil. In 1625 Captain John Powell of England claimed control of Barbados, and within a couple years, it became the third Parliamentary Democracy in the world. Full independence was not granted until 1966, although the island kept ties with Britain and became a Monarchy, which is called a commonwealth. As a result, trade within this island remains stable.

                                  About Me         I am a young student, who is enrolled in high school and college. Young I may be, I've traveled to many places, including Spain, Italy, France, Monaco, London, Amsterdam, Costa Rica, Saint Martin, Jamaica, Nicaragua, and Mexico. I travel in hopes of being able to learn and embrace other cultures, so I can perhaps help people of all nations and colors one day. I plan to become an International doctor because I'd like to make a change and an impact in this world and lifetime. Putting your best into everything you do is something I live by because no one is promised tomorrow. This blog is going to consist of my research on Barbados so I can catalog information to help better understand this culture.

                                                         Women's Body Image in Barbados                         My research paper is about how women in Barbados see themselves, and how                             they aspire to look physically. There aren't many issues in Barbados, so a challenge                               of writing this paper was finding credible sources on Barbados. Rihanna is an influencer                     who was born and raised in Barbados and has gone through racial and physical                                     discrimination. I will also be discussing how body image is perceived and advertised.                           Along with how/ whether or not women and young girls are affected by the islands status                     quo. Many women from Barbados seem to have an hourglass figure, so women must aspire                 to have that type of body shape. As time and society changes, body types are being discussed               more in Bar
