Personally, I think it's a well-located country because of the climate and the yearly amount of rainfall which provides it a stable and steady crop growth especially for sugarcane.]]> 2021-12-08 01:29:15 UTC https://padlet.com/christophersmallwood003/es2g5jgudou1vwhy/wish/1934851844 Terrain and Elevation christophersmallwood003 https://padlet.com/christophersmallwood003/es2g5jgudou1vwhy/wish/1934900454 The highest point in Barbados: Mount Hillaby - 
1,115 Feet.
The lowest point in Barbados: is sea level 
For Travel and agriculture, this means to me that it's a perfect spot for traveling. it's on sea level which is perfect for tourists to enjoy water-related things, and good for farmers to gain access to water easily.]]> 2021-12-08 02:00:50 UTC https://padlet.com/christophersmallwood003/es2g5jgudou1vwhy/wish/1934900454 Natural Disasters christophersmallwood003 https://padlet.com/christophersmallwood003/es2g5jgudou1vwhy/wish/1934938812 The most likely to happen the most is landslides and less likely to happen the most is hurricanes because hurricanes take time to form whereas landslides can happen after a thunderstorm.

 hurricanes by far because hurricane Janet was considered the worst hurricane in Barbados dealing over 5 million in damage killing 38 people and leaving many injured.

In 1628 The population had grown to 2000 people

In 1640 Colonists used the island for mass tobacco and cotton planting but assuming from the almost perfect climate they discovered sugarcane and its unused potential.

Around 1662 is when they started to occasionally deport African Slaves to the island due to the lack of workers.

In 1663 Barbados is made into an English crown possession country.


A problem Barbados is facing today is public debt.]]> 2021-12-08 04:27:16 UTC https://padlet.com/christophersmallwood003/es2g5jgudou1vwhy/wish/1935101815 Government Structures christophersmallwood003 https://padlet.com/christophersmallwood003/es2g5jgudou1vwhy/wish/1935116794 our basic form of government is the parliamentary system. it's the control of the government lies with the cabinet, led by the prime minister and is responsible for the Parliament.

The legal systems used by Barbados are derived from English common law.

the age requirement to vote is 16 I'm assuming but that was when they were still with England but they branched off so maybe they'll change it.

The relationship between them is good nice stable and neat]]> 2021-12-08 04:41:22 UTC https://padlet.com/christophersmallwood003/es2g5jgudou1vwhy/wish/1935116794 Currency and Economy christophersmallwood003 https://padlet.com/christophersmallwood003/es2g5jgudou1vwhy/wish/1935151700 The major form of currency: The Barbadian dollar

Originally it was a way of thanking God for another successful harvest.

Each religion has some church of some sort and most churches are allowed to establish private schools and teach their religion, with some support from the government. This contributes because it gives kids a learning environment with people who have common beliefs, thus causing fewer problems between religious debates. ]]> 2021-12-09 02:14:24 UTC https://padlet.com/christophersmallwood003/es2g5jgudou1vwhy/wish/1937213761 Languages Around the World https://padlet.com/christophersmallwood003/es2g5jgudou1vwhy/wish/1937231981 The official language of Barbados is English and some of them speak Bajan an English creole, mostly derived from West Africa.
