The research i am conducting will allow me to discover how Jamaican culture came to be. So far i have discovered the slave trade route in which the slaves were transported along as well as what countries they were trading with more frequently.
The challenges i am running into are finding the cultural similarities between the Jamaican culture and other cultures. The Jamaican slave trade brought them into contact with a vast amount of different cultures. In each of these cultures they had to get accustomed to their norms as well as their beliefs.

A little insight into Jamaica
Jamaica is
the fifth largest island in the Caribbean, Cuba being the first. Jamaica was
first settled in 1509 by Juan de Esquivel. The island is 10,999 square
kilometers, a rather large island. The population today is estimated at about
2.72 million.
