Livability In Venezuela

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.

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, 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)

The United States and Venezuela have not had been the best relations with one another. Now that the former President Hugo Chávez has passed away, there are still high hopes for the US that all of that will change. Currently, Venezuela is in a tight struggle right now and if it were not for the US they would be still standing. Venezuela is powerful when it comes to their oil, and have very strong polices: however these policies are not working like before so there are some considerations that might be an eye opener for you. Presenting that Venezuela should be giving with their assets the way the Americans are giving with theirs.

The period between 1813 and July of 1814, known as the Second Republic, is in reality the Terrible Year of Venezuelan History. The “War to Death” decree creates a furor, and the combats and indecisive battles, won or lost, follow one upon the other with increasing rapidity. Despite important victories, Bolívar as well as General Santiago Mariño (who had previously liberated the eastern areas of the nation) find themselves obliged to give way in the face of a more numerous adversary led by the royalist José Tomás Boves.

Venezuela is considered a federal republic. It has five different branches of government; the executive, legislative, judiciary, electoral and citizen. Like in the United States, the president of Venezuela is the head of the executive branch. Although both America and Venezuela elect their president by popular vote, there is one big difference. The 22nd Amendment of the American Constitution sets a clear, two-term limit. On the other hand, President Hugo Chavez won a constitutional referendum to eliminate term limits. Due to this change, he was able to remain in power from 1999 to 2013. When former President Hugo Chavez died, Nicolas Maduro took his place as the president.

“Venezuela reads like a textbook example of the socialist end-game: Social implosion driven by economic collapse, caused by shockingly self-destructive policy making” (Toro 39). “Socialism of the 21st Century” in the end just did not work and had failed. The changes made to the constitution have created a government that runs inefficiently and gives the president too much power. Chavez mismanaged the country's income and caused inflation of the Bolivar Note. Chavez had good intentions, but his programs to help the impoverished failed because of poor management. These people that he was trying to help are now more hurt than they were before because money put into these programs was not used effectively. This money could have been used to invest in the oil reserves and other parts of the economy to set the country up for success. Food is hard to come by and the crime and murder rate continues to raise. The country in debt and cannot even buy imports to sell to its citizens. Venezuela will need outside help if it is to recover from the situation caused by Hugo Chavez and Nicolas Maduro. The only reason Chavez remained popular in Venezuela is because the economy was doing well in the beginning and he was able to control the media so that the public opinion of him was kept

Maduro is endeavoring to pin the blame of all the difficulties on other, external sources when he should be accusing and taking the responsibility for himself. Furthermore, Maduro, at fault, persists on shadowing the socialistic views of the ex-president, Hugo Chavez; however, he does not appear to comprehend that the socialist ideals are not operating smoothly and in a way that is progressive for the country. His following is further cumulating and becoming into a coalesced form that is worrying other nations.

The main reason why I left Venezuela was for of the communist government that my country has had for the past 18 years. Due to the dictatorship, Venezuelans live in misery, there is not enough food or no food at all in the supermarkets. Also, there’s a big rate of delinquency since people can’t afford to buy their own clothes or electronic devices they steal from the people

Venezuela is a country located in the northern area of South America that’s national language is Spanish. It is a very complex and interesting country with many important events in the past as well as some current events that have made headlines. Venezuela has been struggling with development for a long time and it has a landscape that can sometimes make it quite hard to build roads and tracks, thus hindering the forward progress of the nation. Venezuela is a democratic country with a democratically elected president, but that doesn’t mean that everything is going along fine. Even though the people of Venezuela elected Hugo Chavez and Nicolas Maduro in the election of 2012, there have been a lot of recent protests against

Venezuela is a country located on the Caribbean Coast on South America. Research proves that, Christopher Columbus discovered Venezuela in the year 1498 (Coleman, 2015, p.7). The country now consists roughly of about 33 million inhabitants, with about 23 states. Over the years Venezuela has had a large increase in crime in recent years and is now considered to be one of the most corrupt nations in the world. This is due to the extremely high murder rate and the problems in drug trafficking. Ultimately, further examination of Venezuela’s laws, courts, law enforcement, and prison will help to better understand the differences in their criminal justice system and the United States of America.

The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela was officially founded when it declared and won itsindependence from the Spanish on July 5, 1811. They would fall under the influence and become a part ofthe Gran Colombia, a republic created by the man who liberated Venezuela, Simon Bolivar. However,Venezuela, under the leadership of Josè Antonio Paèz, who would go on to become the country’s firstofficial President on January 13, 1830. Although Venezuela would eventually democratically elect its firstPresident, President Romulo Gallegos would be overthrown in just eight months by General MarcosJimenez. However, 8 years later Jimenez would be forced into exile by the Venezuelan people, anddemocracy would reign, until Colonel Hugo Chavez would become President

Chávez was elected president in 1998 and made three main promises to the Venezuelan people, convening a Constituent Assembly to write a new constitution and improve the state, fighting poverty and social exclusion, and eliminating corruption. Now about nine years later corruption is a very prominent issue and government corruption is almost at it’s highest point. The nation is in the tight grip of Chávez and almost no chance of escaping. Director of Human Rights Watch's Americas division, José Miguel Vivanco said “For years, President Chávez and his followers have been building a system in which the government has free rein to threaten and punish Venezuelans who

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,

The main purpose of the following report is to provide information about the profile of The Bolivarian Republican of Venezuela; in order to study the current situation of the country for further investigations in the future that may help to understand the opportunities and risk involve in importing and opening new markets in Venezuela.
