Hugo Chávez

Throughout Chavez’s article, he uses much of ethos, pathos, and logos, which are only a few of the many rhetorical devices that can be used to support one’s claims, idea’s, and arguments. Furthermore, Chavez continues his use of these rhetorical devices to emphasis on the importance of not participating in aggressive actions since they usually lead to complications. For instance, Chavez asserts that “When victory comes through violence, it is a victory with strings attached … victory would come at the expense of injury and perhaps death”(65-68). This quote from Cesar Chavez is an example of pathos since, previously mentioned, he is aiming to reach the sensitive side of his audience. He does this so that his readers object to vicious behaviors

Chavez uses one of his rhetorical questions in paragraph 13, that states, “Who gets killed in the case of violent revolution?” Then he goes on to make a great point that “poor people” & “Workers” are affected by the violence. This helps him convince the reader by telling how people are being hurt by the violent structures of others making the reader feel like it’s “wrong” to have violent resistance, which is leaning the reader more towards an agreement with the writer.

In this example Chavez explains to the people that in order to successfully achieve change, they must do it peacefully. He then mentions that, “if violence is used to win, the victory would come through injury or death.” Chavez understands the effects of using violence for change, he prefers

Simon Bolivar, The Liberator, is acclaimed by historians as one of the greatest Latin American revolutionary leaders in history. Commonly referred to as the “Washington for South American revolutions” (Slatta 3), Bolivar, has undoubtedly had a profound influence on the political state of South America; but as Washington got rid of colonialists of one country, Bolivar liberated six from Spanish rule. Although he managed to attain such a feat, historians often debate over the extent of his influence and success, some even regarding him as a failure. As a “liberator who scorned liberalism, a soldier who disparaged militarism, a republican who admired monarchy” (Lynch 1), Bolivar’s legacy has many different analyses. Although Bolivar may have failed in creating his ideal, unified Republic, he still managed to implement several of his goals and

Cesar Chavez who is a Mexican man, he was a confidence man who wanted to do a movement to fight for their right so he decided to march to protest for the Mexicans rights and what they believe in. Chavez believed that there was nowhere that the movement was going to go to, he decided to start a march through Saracamento and decided to build his own group of protestor about three hundred were part of it. Chavez was losing hope, this was going to be a long struggle for the workers. The march to Saracamento was going to be harsh, before Chavez many leader were europeans looking. Many Mexican Americans kids were the population with the lower who were most likely to graduate and most likely to drop out of school. Mexican Americans were the ones who were treated badly, if you spoke Spanish they were even to be hitted, and send to sit in the corner.

The movie, Ceaser Chavez, displays just how much Chavez himself had to deal with. Some scenes that display this throughout the film include the scene towards the beginning where the town's Sheriff confronts Chavez about suspecting a group of communist. Chavez stands up for his people in this scene by taking on the Sheriffs threats and being honest. Another scene that shows how hard it was for Chavez to deal with being in his position was when he brings together his people and asks of them to stop the violence and explains the importance of promoting peace. In this scene, we can see where someone urges to go against him and calls him out for his decision, however, Chavez stands on what he beliefs and states that anyone to break this rule will be kicked out of the Union. This scene really

When Hugo Chavez emerged as an iconic figure against anti-imperialism he was supported by Evo Morales (Bolivia), Lula da Silva (Brazil), Cristina Kirchner (Argentina), Rafael Correa (Ecuador), Raul Castro (Cuba). The reason why these leftist political leaders supported Chavez because of the intentions Chavez had to get people out of poverty and make Venezuela a rich Latin Nation. Another reason towards why Chavez was supported was because he demonstrated that the U.S. was not needed in order to prosper. Due to this, Chavez main opponent became the United States specially under the control of President George W. Bush. Since Chavez was becoming more popular in Latin America and was being aided by Cuba, the United States felt threatened and got

Further on in the article, Chavez adds power to his contentions with implications. "The boycott, Gandhi taught, is the most nearly perfect instrument of nonviolent change." This implication to Gandhi, a notable and regarded advocate for serene resistance, adds validity to Chavez' contention by suggesting that Gandhi would have concurred with and bolstered Chavez' claims. Chavez increases on his believability by making a historical allusion soon after. "Examine history. Who gets killed in the case of violent revolution?

The Harvard Kennedy School educated man was the head of the mayoral campaign in Venezuela and an activist in the opposition party. When the military started asking him questions about his signature gathering, it soon became clear there was a political issue at hand. "They proceeded to threaten to torture us if we didn't speak,” Marquez told NPR. He spent the next four months in a Venezuela prison, only released due to diplomatic pressure (sdfsd). Marquez is just one of many who have been imprisoned for peaceful activism. In his case, it was a protected right in Venezuela, but not even that was respected by the government. Marquez was lucky; his dual nationality helped him escape an unjust situation. But there are thousands of others who will spend years in prison for leading an activist

This book illustrates several key issues and social problems that Latin American politics faced and continue to struggle with to this day. The matter of insurgent movements and the counter-insurgency methods that have been throughout the

Venezuela, located in the Latin American region, is a country that has been characterized by its abundance of oil reserve. A natural resource that has shaped the history and development of the country, affecting its economic, social and most important is political spheres. For many years Venezuela was controlled by authoritarian regimes. The country, being very important in the sense of geo-politics due to its abundance of oil, has been a key player in the international arena and most important, to those that for many years kept the country under their regime. It was not until 1958 that Venezuela experienced the change to democracy and a stable democracy was kept between the two main political parties of the time, Accion Democratica (AD)

His strategy has always been to appeal to the electorate (which is why I say that he is not a "dictator" because almost everything he has done has had the support of the majority of the population). In this case, by appealing to the resentment sense that the population had towards the party system he called for a National Constituent Assembly. His first goal was to get most of the Assembly through the manipulation of a system of election of delegates. By this, he obtained the 93% of the seats in the assembly, giving him the freedom to make the changes. Some of the most important changes were the elimination of the Senate in its place he created the National Assembly. Chaves replaces the party system that had been established in Venezuela for nearly half a century. Taking advantage of the resentment of the population toward the parties, managed to strengthen the powers invested in the figure of the president. This gave him the power to make laws or declare a referendum without the need for support from the legal system. This in turn, will make things easier because there was no system of checks and balances. In the referendum conducted in 2009 to the executive branch led by Chavez was given the ability to dissolve the National Assembly too. Also, he gained control of the attorney general, comptroller general, and the militia and the National

“Who gets killed in the case of violent revolution? The poor, the workers”(Article). Cesar Chavez states this in his persuasive article fighting for nonviolent resistance rather than violence. There is a wrong and a right way to deal with people or laws one is against and that is what Chavez tries to convey in this article. He uses different strategies to try to convince the readers that violence is not acceptable, and there are better ways to handle anger.

Cesar Chavez was a migrant Latino farmer who fought for rights for everyone in the fields. According to the text,“The coming years would bring much more adversity: Strikes and boycotts, marches and fasts, victories and defeats” (Cesar Chavez Foundation).

Venezuela has the world’s largest oil reserves and by 1960, it became the wealthiest country in Latin America. Petróleos de Venezuela (PDVSA), the state owned company, was the key to economic and social development in Venezuela under president Hugo Chavez. His government was settled in an environment where the oil prices were rising and the economy was booming, so he was able fund social programs and practices that were popular to the poor masses. This wealthy and growing Venezuela made Chavez to be very popular and his regime very powerful. Oil revenue accounted for nearly 90% of exports, more than 50% of government revenue, and 35% of country’s GDP.
