“No woman, no cry” was written and sung by Bob Marley in This song is a message of peace, because Bob Marley with this song wants to tell a girl that he loves the world and the people with all their defects, and he tells her not to cry for the badness of this world and he encourages her to go on without crying. In the song he uses some similarities and some memories to describe their hurt and there is a sort of encouragement for him and her because alone they can go on; then he says that she can survive also without him because she is stronger than him.

The isles of the Caribbean are composed of Cuba, Hispaniola (made up of Haiti and the Dominican Republic), Jamaica and Puerto Rico. Jamaica is situated in the heart of the Caribbean Sea, 150 kilometres south of Cuba and 160 kilometres west of Haiti, the two nearest countries. The capital is Kingston. This zone of the world is invested by the hurricanes in the months between August and October.

The European eyes of Christopher Columbus was the first to watch Jamaica when he landed in St. Ann’s bay. The discovery was communicated to us by the Spanish historian Andres Bernaldez in the following description: "It is the fairest island eyes have beheld; mountainous and the land seems to touch the sky; very large; bigger than Sicily, has a circumference of 800 leagues (I mean miles), and all full of valleys and fields and plains; it is very strong and extraordinarily populous; even on the edge of the sea as well as inland it is full of very big villages, very near together, about four leagues apart."

Jamaica today is very different from description of Andres Bernaldez, in fact the circumference of this island is grossly exaggerated, this is actually about 740 kilometres. Some green zones were transformed by the human hand. Today Jamaica is a country in serious financial crisis with a big inflation, this problem is caused by the hike in prices of oil, the same problem as in italy. This has deteriorated the social condition of Jamaicans.
