Have would you feel if you can escape being robbed? Insecurity is something very disturbing world you exist and many countries worldwide with considerable uncertainty, as in the case of Venezuela the country I was born and I grew up. I will never forget that special day because it was a moment that I do not wish anyone to live be a very uncomfortable situation for me. It was a horrific day for anyone because it was the first time I was robbed and had a gun in my back all that happened when I decided to walk to a bank near my college to go to pay for insurance, I will remember that day forever all the feelings I felt like it was confuse, worried and anxious. First, I had a confuse because I did not know that was what I really wanted these
Living in two different countries can be a great experience that can change someone's way of thinking. We live in a world with many countries and different types of people, making us compare each other and ask ourselves how is this different or similar. For example, in Brazil, they speak Portuguese, but in Colombia they speak Spanish. That's one difference. Yet, Brazil and Colombia are in the same continent. Now, that's one similarity. In my case, I have lived in Venezuela and in the United States and sometimes I start comparing many things like economy, government, culture, topography, weather, traditions, etc. Many people don't notice how many difference and similarities two countries can have.
Did you know that Venezuela was one of the first colonies to gain their independence from Spain? At the time Venezuela was a Spanish ruled colony and the people of Venezuela felt that their government was ruling their colony terribly (Adelblue). The people were led by Simon Bolivar, whose nickname was “The Liberator” since he liberated Venezuela and worked with San Martin to liberate most of Northern South America (Adelblue). Venezuela declared their independence in 1810 and finally gained their independence after the Battle of Carabobo in 1821 (Minster). Three symbolic elements of the Venezuelan revolution are used to portray Simon Bolivar, the speech Simon gave to the Second National Congress in 1819 to encourage the type of government he had in mind, and the high taxation that was the main cause of the revolution (Ellis and Esler 705).
When Christopher Columbus discovered the coast of Venezuela, he thought he had encountered an earthly paradise, today that grace land is ravaged by famine, inflation, scarcity, violence, social and political conflicts; “social implosion [being] driven by economic collapse, caused by shockingly self-destructive policy making” (Toro, 1). Venezuela’s antidemocratic government and its lack of foresight has created a severe economic crisis crumbling health care system and a lack of basic necessities and is jailing innocent people who object.
In recent years, an increasing number of professors, commentators, journalists, and teens on social media have claimed that capitalism has failed. What usually follows are suggestions to usher in a new wave of socialism, as if the chaos in Venezuela is somehow non-existent or something truly desirable.
Would you say that life has any sense? Or Is there an answer for everything in life? Three years ago I was completely messed up about this. Gustavo Adolfo Parra Chassaigne that’s how my parents called me and I was born in Maracay a little city next to Venezuela’s capital, Caracas. I used to be the first student of all my high school, also one of the first in tennis of my state and everybody said that my family was “perfect”. So, What did happen to me?
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)
It is rather interesting to see how the United States progressed over time when dealing with "homosexual behaviors". The idea that this was something that could keep you out of the country is intriguing, because it reflects a deeper insecurity within our nation. The idea that the united states takes a locations "sick and weak" population, because after all, we are a nation of immigrants, is simply opposite of the reality. From early on, the United States fought the idea and the proliferation of homosexuality with a push against the immorality of such behaviors. And since the Mexican and Central American Immigration push took off, the United States fought against any suspected homosexuals every step of the way.
Each victim is different, and each victim feel different about the wrongdoing that happen and how they feel will shift to what type of victim that happen. I was a victim of a robbery and held at gun point , I felt that by being out late , going to see my boyfriend when I had my candy money on me probably tip for the robbery because he want some of my money and I would do it and I was on my way home ,wait for the bus and this man came up to me and ask what time was it and soon as I told him thee time the guy had a gun point at my head and told me to give him everything I had , he robbery all of us except my boyfriend he ran away. I was so terrified at first, I through it was my fault because I did not listen to my mom and I was out at dark, in a bad neighborhood. When I talk to the police it stated that this was going on in the neighborhood, then I felt it was not my fault, but then I want to blame the system for what happen.
Although here in the United States we are free to form opinions, feelings of national insecurity are shaped by cultural myths that trespass into our ways of thinking. Society is constantly told by the powerful that our country has enemies in other parts of the world and they will not leave us alone unless we take forceful action or else our existence is at stake. Our nation has faced a cycle of wars, each initiated for different declared reasons. In the beginning, most people express patriotic support only to realize in the end that they and their friends, family, and politicians have made a horrible mistake which took the lives of many. The fact that Americans are living in fear because they believe their security is diminishing has economic,
Venezuela is located on the north coast of South America. It is a very interesting country, since it possesses many unique attributes and resources that other countries in the region do not. There are several different systems that represent these resources and attributes. Major Kris A. Arnold (2006) states “PMESII is (sic) military acronym listed in several joint and service publications, which evolved from a systems perspective, and equates to the political, military, economic, social, infrastructure, and information systems of states. The acronym provides a starting point for identifying key interrelated systems of an adversary and facilitates analysis and kinetic and non-kinetic targeting”. Venezuela is an especially interesting case due to the political system in place, in addition to the unique economic power that the nation has.
Met the highest authorities of the State in all its levels; there was talk of security, on budgets, talked about money, investment and nothing was said almost nothing of the tremendous insecurity in which we live the Bolivians in all parts of the country. We live no longer a wave or a high peak of violence, but rather a constant that is repeated; no longer provides enough to consider this as an exception, but as a norm to the citizens we must resign ourselves.
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,
Venezuela currently has a population of 31 million people. Venezuela is still growing in numbers, and it’s getting harder for the government to provide health care for their people. Venezuela’s population is 1.9 times larger than South America. The country is mainly urban, and the wealth rate is declining. The resources per person needs to be the same, and as of now that’s not the case. Overall fertility rates are failing in Latin America. In 2015 the population was six times the size that it was in 1950, and the United Nations projects that it will be nine time larger by 2050, and still growing at that point, despite the long-term decline in fertility. (Latin America) Although there are many economic crisis in Venezuela, this isn’t preventing them from having children in higher numbers. This could be the shortage of health care.
The oil-rich Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, located on the northern coast of South America, was for many decades considered among the wealthiest nations in the entire continent. While having the largest proven oil reserves in the world has often proved a tremendous boon for Venezuela, the very black gold that has been the cause of its success has also proven to repeatedly be its kryptonite. Over half of the nation’s Gross Domestic Product stems from petroleum exports – which equates to approximately 95% of total exports. It is really not too hard to imagine what drastic consequences shifts in global oil prices could have on the economy.
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.
