To keep the government working towards the general good of the people, Rousseau believed that any governing body should be elected by the individuals of a nation. In the American republic, mayors, senators, even the President, are elected by the citizens. In this fashion, the general good is put before individual interests.…
We can quote one sentence taken from his tome one, “Democracy in America”, published between 1835 and 1840 (translated from the French): “ the democracy draws its force from the fact that people have the possibility of organizing themselves, to make known their point of view, to produce results and to…
He is known as, “The Liberator” of Gran Columbia or the one who declared northern south america’s independence. Gran Colombia was a title given to the modern countries, Venezuela, Peru, Ecuador, Columbia, Brazil, and Panama which was his ideal unity of Latin America. He was originally born in Venezuela and at a young age, was influenced by the Age of Enlightenment. After several tragic events in his life, he sworn to achieve the independence of venezuela from Spain’s authority. This eventually lead him to write this letter to accomplish his mission. This letter is biased because Bolivar was born in Venezuela, which was his home country, meaning he wanted the best for it; if he would not have been from there, then his motivation would not have been so high, nor would the letter emphasis how much they were being mistreated by foreigners. If this were to be written by a Spanish man on witnessing how conditions where in Gran Colombia he would not have explained how harshly people lived, but try to go around that topic. Bolivar cared for his country, that is why he tried to help it; the letter is…

By the late 1700s, colonists in Latin America, already aware of Enlightenment ideas, were electrified to hear of the American and French Revolutions. The success of the American Revolution encouraged them to try to gain freedom from their European masters. A simple example of this can be Air Alert. Air Alert is a workout that trains you to jump higher. When other people hear of your success using this workout, they will be interested. The same happened with the colonists in Latin America. Individuals such as Toussaint L’Ouverture, Simon Bolivar, and Miguel Hidalgo, played huge roles in leading nationalist movements.…

“I can concede that the government has no knowledge of the people, but I believe the people know less of the government. There are useless officials, evil, if you like, but there are also good ones, and these are not able to accomplish anything because they encounter an inert mass, the population that takes little part in matters that concern them.” ― José Rizal, Noli Me Tangere (Touch Me Not)…
In Latin America, most countries suffer of repeated economic crises, unacceptable levels of poverty and increasing levels of inequality, as Judith Teichman mentions in her work “Redistribute Conflict and Social Policy in Latin America”, and Bolivia is no exemption. All the problems the country has gone through reflect in the political instability since 1982, when the military dictatorship leaded by General Luiz Garcia Meza ended (Luis Garcia Mesa Tejada, 2010). Since then, Bolivia has elected many different Presidents, who have completely different visions of the future for Bolivia, which might be a cause for the low capacity Bolivia has.…
It was a genuine victory of people's power in the first open clash of social classes in the oil-rich South American country. But the victory also lays bare the fundamental question of the Venezuelan Revolution: how to organize the popular classes--the workers, peasants, soldiers and students--to defend the revolution against further assaults by the propertied oligarchy and the weight of U.S. imperialism.…
Since 1998, when Hugo Chávez won the presidential elections of Venezuela, the relations between this country and United States have worsened. Hugo Chávez has been president of Venezuela for fourteen years and was reelected for another six years the past October. During this time, he has implemented many changes in order to establish the “Bolivarian Revolution” and has stressed his opposition to the United States and the imperialism of its regime. Therefore, the relations between this two countries has become more and more tense due to the comments and decisions that Chávez has made, for example, supporting Cuba and Iran, Known opponents of the United States. Consequently, Chávez has become a rival of the USA and some people have considered that Obama should intervene in Venezuela in order to remove him from power. Nevertheless, United States should not try to topple Hugo Chávez because it would disrespect a democratic decision, would violate Venezuela´s sovereignty and would affect the commercial and economic relations between the two countries.…
‘Those who manipulate the unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country[sic]. We are governed, our minds molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized. Vast numbers of human beings must cooperate in this manner if they are to live together…
“to the mass of the people I gave the power they needed, neither degrading them, nor giving them too much reign: for those who already possessed great power and wealth. I saw to it that their interests were not harmed. I stood guard with a broad shield before both parties and prevented either from triumphing unjustly”…
As a writer of the Guardian newspaper, Lopez seems to have the same views. The Guardian is recognized as left wing, they aim to support those who cannot support themselves and are idealist who believes in equality, thus supporting Lopez’s view. This left wing approach is presented in the subheading, as it reveals “Venezuelan president blames CIA,” situating this as a subheading infers that the author also agrees with the president, hence the article includes elements of being bias. Lopez seems to support former president Hugo Chavez, as he used The Food and Agriculture Organisation figures to prove that famine indicators have more than halved “to less than 5% since Chavez came to power,” stating that Chavez assisted in the decrease of starvation within the Latin American nation. The article targets political and economic readers, which is displayed through the praise given to Chavez and the reason why current president Maduro is blaming CIA (for concocting a plan “to destabilize his government, sabotage the oil industry and trigger power cuts.”) The purpose of this article is to…
