    This website documents photographs and written accounts of how Argentine people were affected by the dictatorship which took many political prisoners, los desaparecidos. It offers a look into how people have dealt, and continue to deal, with such a tragedy arising from corrupt government action.

      This article discusses about a group of mothers/grandmothers and their attempt to reconstruct their lives during and after living in Argentina's "Dirty War". They protested to be reunited with their children/grandchildren, who were kidnapped by the military. We see here a group of women trying to strengthen a post-conflict society. Through passive activism, "Las Madres de la Plaza de Mayo" confronted the government and voiced for those who were silenced; restoring what was lost during the war.

      I am not surprised to see that only 19.5% of the populations of Latin American countries said they identified as a "conservative Christian." While that number seems low, I would assume it doesnt include a lot of people who do identify as Catholics. With technology and liberalism being popular, the number of people who abide by all of the catholic church's rules and teachings are greatly dwindling.
  • Geography:  The incidence is lowest in Mexico, where the influence of the Church had been significantly reduced and restricted constitutionally after the Revolution in the early 1900's.  Surprisingly, in the three countries (Argentina, Brazil and Chile) in which brutal military dictatorships were actively supported by conservative church leaders in the 1980's, the incidences are just slightly higher than in Mexico.  Conservative Christians have the highest incidences in the other three countries (Colombia, Peru and Venezuela) which have been under nominally democratic, but unstable, governments.
  • Age/Sex:  Within men, conservative Christians are more likely to be found in the older people (age 45 and over).  Within women, the youngest ones (12 to 19 years old) are conservative, but there is a big drop once they become independent adults (20 to 24 years old).  The highest incidences of conservative Christians are found in women 45 years or older.  These older skews for conservative Christians does not augur well for the future as there are fewer successors within sight.
