This paper answers questions concerning Latin America Cultures. Both Domingo Sarmiento and José Martí grappled with the question of what direction the independent nations of Latin America should take. In their writings, they offered what we could call blueprints for the future of their countries.

Answer the following TWO questions: 1. Both Domingo Sarmiento and José Martí grappled with the question of what direction the independent nations of Latin America should take.
