The corruption is blatant and rife, thrown in their faces everyday.
They show emotion, but that's it, nothing more!
When and what will turn the apathy it action?

Imagine you are a Dominican working abroad or you are working locally with a group of both Dominicans and foreigners. Do you know who is more likely to screw you or give you a hard time? YOUR FELLOW DOMINICAN!!!
True of almost every national group of immigrants.
Dominican Republic: God, FAMILY, Country.
USA: God, COUNTRY, Family.
When country is not right behind God corruption is allowed to take its place
Dominican Republic: God, Family, Corruption.
JMB,
Ever heard of separation of State and Religion in order to govern.
There is a good reason for this, study history.
If you want to learn about the pleasures of Shira law your gf. with the chador can help you.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Separation of church and state" (sometimes "wall of separation between church and state") is a phrase used by Thomas Jefferson and others expressing an understanding of the intent and function of the Establishment Clause and Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. The phrase has since been repeatedly used by the Supreme Court of the United States.
The First Amendment to the United States Constitution provides that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof ...." and Article VI specifies that "no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States." The modern concept of a wholly secular government is sometimes credited to the writings of English philosopher John Locke, but the phrase "separation of church and state" in this context is generally traced to a January 1, 1802 letter by Thomas Jefferson, addressed to the Danbury Baptist Association in Connecticut, and published in a Massachusetts newspaper".

I don't think that Christianity has a great influence on DR gov.
Hello, everyone, hope all is well with you, I know I may be joining this debate very late as there are at least 15 pages and I didn't read them all, but the inital question is what I would like to address. Are Dominicanos Apathetic? I would say that the corruption and various abuses are a part of every country in the world. There are the disenfranchised in every sector of the world, so the DR is no exception to that. Dominicanos are very passionate about justice for those who have been ill treated. But just as the world chose to look the other way with Darfor or the seemingly endless brutality of Apartied in South Africa, your asking the victums to do a lot with little to no world support. Condition to it is true, but it ultimatly lies with the entire world to end and injustice. Where do you start, who do you start with? The short solution is easy, but true change never comes easy and never comes fast. Just gettting the majority which is in the minority to stand on anything almost takes God himself coming down and delivering a word or works and still not everyone will agree. So Dominicanos would be Apathetic if Americans are also apathetic, or Mexicans or Canadians or Englanders or europeans or Latin Americans or just any country or race or group or people are. The masses always support the minority and it just finding a system that gives both groups the best life that is hard to incorporate. That my friend, isn't apathetic, its life and life is but a few days and filled with troubles. Thanks for your topic, it is a good one, just wish it could reach more eyes, ears, and hearts to affect and effect change!!! Take care all, and God bless you my people, and all the people of the world and God bless Dominican Republic

Gorgon: In the end the French revolution was about Robespierre and his thugs, a minority that rapidly failed. The "revolution" did not begin to succeed until after Napoleon III and the Fourth Republic in mid 19th Century.
The real revolution was here in America and began 10 years before the French. The American revolutionaries were a distinct minority as well, whose perseverance nonetheless created the first Republic since Rome, and after 226 years it is still wobbling along on its First Constitution, while France is on its, what? Sixth?
really?
so what about this?
Roman Catholicism is the official religion of the Dominican Republic, established by a Concordat with the Vatican.
