The Value of Money

       


                                                              The Value of Money  
                   
                     If you look at money it is a fairly invaluable substance itself, its value comes from what it represents. What it represents is the resources that back up the purchasing power of the paper/metal itself. The value of the money depends on who is backing it up and wether they are a credible resource.   With proper backing up money is worth a lot, it is the power to get many things done and is a very reliable commodity.  However with nothing to back it up, such as much of our currency, its power is lost and it can get less things done.  All its worth is the emphasis that society as a whole is willing to place on it in correlation to what it is being backed up by. At one point our currency was backed by resources, namely silver and gold. Now our money is backed by the not so much of a promise of its current and future worth.

History of The Baja California Sur

Due to artifacts such as arrow heads and Clovis points it is estimated that the BCS was first cultivated primitively as early as 11000bc. Most likely for the abundance of food for early hunters and gatherers including snakes, birds, fish and wild cats. When the earliest explorers came to check out the sur they found 4 ethnic groups, hunters/gatherers but well skilled in fishing and pottery.(just no agriculture)

The first spaniards arrived 1533 but made no attempts to civilize the sur until the late 17th century. Colonization as always came with its price for the indigenous with disease and violence that deeply decreased their numbers. After the Mexican-American war ownership of the peninsula was given to mexico.

Today BCS serves as a getaway spot for tourism but still makes a good economy through salt mining.  There is great fishing and good agriculture, plus big waves and some of the most beautiful sights to attract a large tourism industry.
