Culture In Venezuela

The country of Venezuela is located in northern South America, bordering the Caribbean sea, the atlantic ocean, Colombia, Guyana, and Brazil. It is six times the size of Georgia, and currently has an estimated population of 30,208,000 people (“South America :: Venezuela). The capital city of Caracas is surrounded by a beautiful state park on one side, and rugged yet densely populated hills on the other (Venezuela - Caracas - An Introduction). There are many interesting museums to visit in Caracas, including the birthplace of Simón Bolívar, the man who led many South American countries to independence from Spain

This presentation will explain the differences and similarities, if any, in the countries of Spain and Puerto Rico’s. The presentation will show the differences and similarities between the two countries arts, culture, and economic environment. The presentation will show how both countries have a assimilation of cultural and distinctiveness. Even though both countries have similarities and differences, they both have one thing in common, and that is they are Spanish-speaking countries with an array traditions, culture, and diversity amongst the people, that will be talked about in this presentation.

In Latin American countries, they have a very unique culture. With their holidays, music, celebrations, and art, the countries in Latin America never cease to bring joy in people’s lives. Latin American culture is vastly different than other cultures in many ways. In Latin America, the languages of Spanish and Portuguese are dominant and most people speak them. However there are people who speak other languages as well. Latin America includes nineteen countries and several territories. There are a variety of different ethnicities in Latin America including Mexicans, Europeans, and Asians. Education inside the Latin American culture still struggles. Only a little more than half of kids ages 13-17 advance into secondary school. Because of this, the crime and violence rates in Latin America are at an all time high. These countries have been rated as one of the most dangerous regions in the world because of how high the rates of crime and violence are.

This project’s purpose is to record a people who have lived through the promises and outcomes of the Bolivarian Revolution, an idea that captured Venezuela’s spirit and spread across 16 Latin America nations as the Pink Tide. The poor and working class will be a fundamental component of this story as I investigate the role the revolution has played in shaping the lives of this perpetually overlooked group of people. Simultaneously, the nature of these issues will create a portal into the world of Venezuelan heritage, traditions, and political and civic culture. What I write will be the reality of the situation; the interpretation will be left up to the reader.

The country I would like to visit is Venezuela. And a holiday that is celebrated in Venezuela in October is Dia De Los Muertos or The Day of the Dead. The Day of the Dead is celebrated on October 31 to November 2. Although many people think the Day of the Dead is Halloween, it is different than Halloween. The Day of the Dead celebrates the dead but not their death and the sadness of them but the full period of life’s they had and how the holiday actual worships death. People celebrate by going to the cemetery’s and decorating the persons grave and they also celebrate at home by making an altar and giving offerings on the altar such as food, clothes and other things. People also celebrate with special foods and symbolic goods like candy skulls,

The “Bolivarian revolution” revolves around the rise of the leftest movement which started with Hugo Chavez, and soon many other leaders rose to the occasion. The sole purpose of this movement was to help Latin America get rid of dictators and reestablish under Simon Bolivar's ideals of making Latin America not a colony but a nation for the people residing in it. Now that Chavez is dead, I believe that he was able to complete Bolivar's conquest of freeing Latin America. Now that Chavez has passed away, he has left both good and bad implications, but I believe its more good than bad. “The real opposition to Chavez is from the United States which was so angry at the way that he built up a credible alternative to the U.S. idea of free trade with

When the Latin American revolution first started Bolivar was anything but the person people would think of to join the fight. He was an educated landowner, and had no experience when it came to leading people to war, so using all his knowledge he possessed he recruited someone he deemed fit to fight for the cause, General Miranda, being known for his fights in other revolutions. However, after he was betrayed by Miranda he was forced into this role of General, having no experience for leading men other than his eloquent use of words that made him capable of persuaded the most reluctant man into dying for a cause. He was filled with ideas, but the ones that took to the heart of the people the most were equality and liberty. Even though he was fed with a silver spoon as a child, he believed that everyone

Venezuela is just another chapter in my ongoing book. I was born in Tamaulipas, Mexico my home country and got moved 3 months later to New Orleans. It was uncommon for a Mexican family to move so constantly all over the world, we are known to migrate to US or not migrate at all. I don’t remember New Orleans so I regarded to my next move, Colombia as my home. Colombia was everything a 4 year old wanted, friends, close to family, wonderful house and most importantly the school was accepting of others. I felt as if I belonged, I even sang the national anthem with pride, seeing that it was my country. I knew Colombia inside out, I knew the language, culture, food, education which gave me comfort as for a long time I felt ordinary like any

When one thinks of Cuba, often a negative imagine comes to mind. This is no surprise, as most accounts of Cuba that we hear are horrible atrocities of the government of Cuba. As with most things in life, there is more than meets the eye with Cuba. At surface value, yes Cuba seems bad, but that is just because of the way the Cuban government and countless political struggles that the country has faced are portrayed. The Cuban people are actually a very proud people with a strong culture. if you looked past the communist nature of the country, Cuba is a vibrant and colorful place with a lot to learn about and a diverse culture to experience.

Chávez as a child was brought up with the teachings and history of Bolívar and this gave

The author of this piece, Masur, was presented with an interesting problem in writing this piece. Unlike the other authors on this Masur was writing in a period in which there were no works that focused comprehensively on the life of Bolivar. The secondary source work that did exist tended to either focus on some aspects of Bolivar’s life to the detriment of others or served as tools to lionize Bolivar into the near deity that the fledgling Venezuela needed. Masur’s goal therefore was to write an account of Bolivar’s life which thoroughly examined each element. He was aided in this by the objectivity and training that came with his European birth and education.

You can learn a lot about a country based on the music that’s produced there. The music of Spain is rich in both history and culture.
