Latin America Vs Venezuela

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.

Most of us are familiar with these global terms “American dream” and “drugs cartels”. These thoughts exemplify one the differences between United States of America and Colombia. Despite United States of America and Colombia are located in the same hemisphere significant differences in food, natural resources and tourist attractions make each country quite distinct from the other.

The progress of Latin America economically has made differences for the better or worse for several countries. In Central and South America, there are resources, industries, and agriculture that has been made gradually through the years. However, before the economic Latin America many know today, other civilizations lived first. In Central America, the Maya, Aztec, and Olmec lived there. (Document 1) The Mayans were known to live in the Yucatan Peninsula, while the Aztec lived in Tenochtitlan, and the Olmec in present day Veracruz and Tabasco. (Document 1) In South America, lived the Inca. The Inca lived in Peru, Chile. (Document 1) Aside from earlier civilizations, there are also four zones of climate. (Document 3) These types of climates are Tierra Helada (Frozen Land), Tierra Fria (Cold Land), Tierra Templada (Temperate Land), Tierra Caliente (Hot Land). All of these have different livestock and crops depending on the climate.

Puerto Rico, whose word meaning is “rich port” in Spanish, is a beautiful Island located in the middle of the Caribbean. Its strategic location made it a must have territory to the Spaniards who colonized it over four hundred years before the United States took a special interest. It all started in the year 1898, with the Treaty of Paris Puerto Rico now is property of the United States. After centuries of being led by Sevilla and Madrid, Puerto Rico was now forced to look upon Washington. The series of events leading the Spanish-American War changed Puerto Rico permanently. From changing the Island’s name from Porto Rico to Puerto Rico to Americanizing the Puerto Rican people in all ways possible, the acquisition of Puerto Rico from the United States had numerous economic, social and political impacts.

I was in Tonga, a Polynesian island, for 7th grade. I didn’t speak their language, so it was obvious that I was a foreigner. I remember a girl once asking me “where are you from?” I responded with “America”, then she asked me “which one?” I was at a loss, thinking the girl was confused, but in reality I was the confused one. To me, to many, there is only one America, the United States of America. Some seem to forget about the bigger Americas, North & South America. These are two very different continents however they do have similarities, particularly in countries such as Canada and Venezuela.. Most notably they differ in people and culture, however they may be somewhat similar in geographical features and human impact.

The United States of America is a country with an extremely complexed past. One cannot successful explore the past of this county without exploring its relationship with Latin America. I will be exploring how the idea of empire building by the U.S. created the need for migration, the implications of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo for Chicano in the Southwest, and the relationship between the United States and Puerto Rico.

It only takes two hours and a half to get to the United States from Venezuela. Many people travel from Venezuela to U.S envisioning a better Life improvement from what Venezuela scares thanks to political irresponsibly. Venezuela is unrivaled to USA in terms of education, road and security

White sandy sun kissed beaches, ice cold piña coladas with little umbrellas poking out the top, mingling with locals, waves crashing, and the sound of Bomba through the rows of palm trees surrounding the shorelines. This is the image that most people have of Puerto Rico and they would be right, for the most part, about this beautiful island. However, Puerto Rico which translate to “rich port” is far from the name it inhabits. The commonwealth has a $72 billion dollar debt which is causing the residents to live in poverty and the United States government is partially to blame. In addition, even through Puerto Rico has it 's own government the United States Congress has the final ruling. This is making it difficult for Puerto Rico to resolve this issue. The island and its residents that call it home are treated unfairly and the only resolution to help aid in their struggling economy and politics is to grant Puerto Rico statehood, making the island the 51st state of America.

Latin America is one region of the world known for its similarities across national borders, paired with stark differences. While Latin American countries share cultural elements such as, language, religion, and a colonial history, each society has developed differently in terms of political, economic, and social organization. One major difference across Latin America is individual nations relationships with family planning and abortion systems. Each country 's stance on the morality of abortion, contraception, reproduction, and sexuality, differs from its neighbors and the region at large. In some cases the difference is visible within national borders, such as in Mexico, where abortion is only legal inside the capital city (Fondo Maria). In other cases the countries themselves are homogenous in law, but differ greatly from the legal positions of their neighbors. Due to such variation it is impossible to claim that Latin America as a whole aligns with one attitude concerning family planning and abortion. Additionally, both systems are simultaneously present in countries creating a complex and intriguing system of reproductive health. Due to this variety, this paper focuses on Chile and Cuba as examples of two opposing extremes. In Cuba abortion is legal under all circumstances as compared to Chile, where abortion was historically criminalized. These two country 's situations ask the question of how family planning programs and abortion rates connect with and influence one

Hispanic’s in America, much like many other groups of immigrants, are not always welcomed when they arrive in the United States. They are often seen as inferior or as illegal. Many Americans believe that Hispanics should be deported and that they come to America to take their jobs away from them. Additionally, many Americans consider all Hispanics to be Mexican and fail to recognize the differences between different Latin American countries. In spontaneous situations, people may be quick to negatively judge another based on their appearance and their perceived stereotypes of a certain group of people.

Venezuela and the United States, two countries vastly different economically. One of them is one the biggest economies on the world; albeit with many problems, the other, a crumbling state facing the harsh difficulties of the drop in oil prices; its main source of revenue. For either of them, young people represent the future. But whether they are newly graduated in Venezuela or in the United States, young people must face an array of problems when it comes time to join the workforce and become one of its country’s productive citizens. In the US, a large amount of debt, lack of work experience, low wages, and underemployment are some of the problems they face. In Venezuela, it is not much different, you just need to add great economic instability and high emigration rates to the mix in exchange for debt.

Venezuela and Great Britain were in the middle of negotiations for years over the boundary of British Guiana when a dispute erupted because a gold nugget weighing 509 ounces was discovered in the territory that was causing the dispute. Each country claimed the gold belonged to them. The debate went on for many years and Britain became aggravated because Venezuela wouldn’t compromise.

The three areas that Ariana and I might clash are really the only areas that we differ in, and they are: Low/high Uncertainty Avoidance, Competitive/Cooperative, and Being/Doing.

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,
