“With 64% of the votes counted, there was no longer room for doubt” ( Marcano 3) Chavez had won the election of 1998 against his opponent Henrique Salas Romer. As the new president of Venezuela, there were many challenges that he was going to face. But despite the lack of knowledge of the government or being a politician, he began pursuing this career always wearing a military uniform. “Invoking the memory of the Latin American Libertador Simon Bolivar, Chavez vowed to end corruption” ( Marcano 3) Many of his followers were from the working population who were able to identify themselves with the active military president. Chavez had expressed his dream, since the beginning of his election of having “ a country free of poverty” ( Marcano 3) which will continue to raise support from those who were in the working class. Many people saw him as the ideal candidate because his appearance of a strong military yet charismatic president entices the part of the population that were tired of…
Both scenarios vehemently loathe capitalism; the idea of one profiting independently with very limited interference from the government. Venezuela, a de facto Socialist nation, plainly supports the idea of the government providing numerous necessities to its citizens. Therefore, little government action in businesses is a hinderance. In Anthem, it is a similar situation; based on collectivism, society determined the occupation of citizens. These jobs consisted of products beneficial to everyone in the society, and any object not accepted by all is blasphemy. Also, both governments are in denial that their policies will bring them forward, and those who think discretely are vacuous. When in fact, these administrations’ laws are stagnating society and the citizens themselves. These leaders are essentially assuming their roles as dictators; as a result, they have the authority to enact any laws, whether they are progressive or stagnant. With this greater influence, they perceive themselves as intelligent and the right leader for the civilization; as opposed to the people themselves. It is quite evident that Venezuela and Anthem possess leaders meeting these criterias. In Venezuela, President Maduro used his power to obstruct opposition claiming his laws are ineffective and actually destructive. Also, when criticized, President Maduro made numerous excuses, stating that the administration is not the source of the issue. One country being the main target of threats: the United States of coup attempts and oil conflicts. As for Anthem, the citizens basically are unintelligent from birth. With the society brainwashing generations of their people, it resulted in people stalling in development and knowledge. Only those who “shine” in the eyes of the council will flourish in their collective civilization. Also, when Equality presented the council with electricity, they referred to the…
(Chavez, 2009). He returned to Venezuela in 1807, where the country’s emancipation began after the coup of the 19th of April 1810. They obtained their independence on the 5th of July 1811, and Bolivar begins to show his military strengths against the Spanish’s allies in Latin America. But the population was not convinced of why they should fight for their independence. He then multiplies his conquests in Colombia, enabling him to gain more troops to go on and obtain independence for the Western part of Venezuela.…

Do you know that Venezuela could be one of the richest countries in the world? Venezuela is one of the countries that has one of the most profitable products in the whole world. Venezuela depends mostly in the price of oil to keep their economy afloat because it is one of the products that makes countries economies high. Surprisingly economy in Venezuela is really terrible because there’s not globalization. They are too many problems going on there: some of these problems are affecting the majority of Venezuelans because there is not education for everyone, the children are forced to work, there is a food crisis and the oil prices are really low. My solution to fix Venezuela’s economy is that the government have to create a new system to…

The yellow is for land wealth, the blue for the sea that separates Venezuela from Spain, and the red represents the blood shed by the heroes of independence. Moreover, they allowed…

Even though I had enjoyed all the Hispanic traditions of my family, the current situation of my country has led me to immigrate to U.S. I am sure that all of the lessons and traditions that I explained above will always be an important part of who I am. Nevertheless, the political and economic situation of my country has led, not only me, but also millions of Venezuelans to emigrate looking for a better future. In my opinion, this is a sad situation and I hope that with a lot of effort and hope, Venezuela will once again the country my grandparents and parents once lived in.…
