As stated by the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development in the House of Commons in Canada, “the government’s inability and/or unwillingness to tackle corruption and impunity, […] allow serious violations of human rights to continue.” This would also erode the progress the government has made in the past decades with respect to the human right’s records, specifically with social and economic rights. Venezuela’s limited capacity add challenges to the government’s ability to sustain progress in the matters of domestic and global economic
This delicate subject is affecting millions Venezuelan citizens as well as raising concerns of family members abroad fearing for their kin. It has affected generations so much that many have decided to leave behind jobs, friends and family to flee from its own country. Venezuela is one of the most dangerous countries at present, a dangerous country where “economic crises and high inflation, like panic-induced runs on banks, generate self-serving, defensive behaviors that tend to spiral out of control,” (Corrales, 15). Venezuelan citizens are having a really difficult time realizing how bad their country is doing and how their families are trying to survive day by day.
One instance of racial mixing in Colombia comes from Geronimo Torres who suggested that they send the prostitutes and criminals who live
From evidence based practice, it has been proven that racism and discrimination is evident in our society. As defined by Webster’s Dictionary, “racism is the poor treatment or violence against people because of their race; and discrimination is the unfair treatment of a person or group of people differently from other people or groups of people” (Merriam Webster, 2015). However, in America many immigrants witness, and as well become victims of such behaviors. The hopes and dreams of happiness and sovereignty while in America for some can be a harsh reality. In fact, immigrants are faced with employment discrimination, healthcare discrimination and last but not least housing discrimination. However, this alone can be challenging while fighting to overcome oppression. In the article below these issues are addressed by Isabell Martinez a Hispanic immigrant, and examined alongside the critical race theory, which explains racial inequality in the U.S.
While Colombian immigrants are relative newcomers immigrating to the United States, their figures began to increase greatly during the last few decades. “By 2008, Colombians were the largest South American immigrant group in the United States, accounting for nearly thirty percent of all South Americans in the country” (Murnan). Like many of the other Latin American countries, Colombia’s political instability has played the biggest role in motivating people to leave the country and immigrate to the United States in search of a better and safer way of life. Colombia has, in fact, lacked political stability since it became independent from the Spanish Empire in 1819. Since their first arrival in the United States, Colombians have worked hard to establish their own identity among the many different Hispanic populations and to find their place within conventional America. However, despite this, many immigrants often suffer the effects of stereotyping and discrimination because of the many negative American perceptions of Colombia as a drug-trafficking, criminal country, even though a very tiny number of Colombians in the United States happen to engage in any of these illegal activities.
This article talks about Venezuela’s President Nicolás Maduro wanting to rewrite the country’s constitution, originally written in 1999. The exact changes that would be made to the document are not known, but citizens and leaders of both Venezuela and the United States, including President Trump, believe it will make the government too much like Cuba’s. Cuba has a communist government that controls everything. There will be a vote that many people plan on boycotting, and there have been many protests from all the people who do not want the President of Venezuela to go through with the changes. These strikes are dangerous and have ended up killing many people.

Venezuela is a country located on the northern coast of South America. It borders Guyana to the east, Brazil to the south and Colombia to the west (“Basic Facts on Venezuela”). It is interesting to see how a country that was once rich and had a strong government can end up caught in an economic crisis. Then, this may result in violence and chaos in the country. The worst part is that a crisis in one country can produce shocks all over the world.
To start off, the Venezuela-Colombia border has been closed due to being attacked by paramilitary groups, drug traffickers, and black marketeers. The two countries have had disputes involving trans-border trade which affects Venezuela’s economy. For example, Venezuela is experiencing extreme shortages in food and household items.

Recently, twenty Venezuelans were caught trying to reach Curacao by on a raft; similar incidents happened last year in Aruba, Trinidad and Tongo. Curacao may allow a limited number of Venezuelan refugees to enter the country, however, they can not handle a mass migration.
With an economy dominated by the production of oil, Venezuela has enjoyed the highest standard of living in Latin America. In spite of its success in the oil industry, agriculture and manufacturing also play important roles in Venezuela’s economy. With this in mind, it would seem as though Venezuela’s economic state has flourished. Rather, it has suffered from the effects of political influence, corruption, and poor economic management. The distribution of wealth across Venezuela has caused the elite to benefit at the cost of the working people. This is mainly due to the economic and political structure of the country. Even with the plentiful resources Venezuela possesses, it is constantly being threatened by political instability,
