    Unformatted Sample Text from the Research Paper:
    first time traveler to the country would pick up on. Explains what a special place Cuba actually is and how it would make a good travel destination.  CUBA According to Mike Segers, (2002) there are many things that Americans must understand first about the Cuban culture. "First of all, the word "Hispanic" refers to all people  of Spanish-speaking descent, whether they are from Spain or Mexico, from Cuba or Argentina. They speak Spanish, but only if they are from Spain is it appropriate to call them  Spanish, just as, although I speak English, I am not English. I am from the United States. I am American. To most Spanish speakers, however, someone from Bolivia or Nicaragua  is also an American, a citizen of the Americas" (Seger, 2002, PG). As far as outward appearances, it should be stressed that "Hispanics do not all look alike. Consider Ricky Martin  and Sammy Sosa. Hispanics come in every shape and size and color--from the red-heads of Argentina to the blacks of Sosas Dominican Republic, from the Indians of Guatemala to  the Cuban-Chinese. In Los Angeles, youll find mainly Mexican-Americans; in Miami, mainly Cuban-Americans; in New York, mainly Puerto-Ricans, whose commonwealth has a unique status in or with the United States.  In fact, it is said that there are more Puerto-Ricans in New York than on "la isla encantada" (the enchanted island) itself" (Seger, 2002, PG). This is one way to  understand the diverse population that can be found in Cuba and to get in ones mind the type of people that inhabit the cities of Cuba. WELL-KNOWN CUBANS  The fact that Cubans have been some of the most famous personalities of the different ethnic groups in America is a fact that should not be lost upon us.
