Bolivar: People Never Correlated With Politics
Bolivar believed that people never interfered with politics. He said Americans were politically non-existent. THey’d been harassed by a behavior that took away their rights but kept them unaware of public affairs. He thought that because the people are not fully aware of what goes on in politics. They aren’t ready for a republican form of government. The people do not know what will be happening, so how will they hold power, let alone elect representatives that will help “guide” their country?

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.

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…

    The next perspective that Delbanco utilized regarded politics. He quoted Thomas Jefferson, who once said that, "the basis of our government is the opinion of the people." Delbanco reiterated his interpretation of this statement by stating that, "If the new republic was to endure, it required, above all, an educated citizenry." Delbanco established that Jefferson's concept about educated citizens should be held at a higher importance than ever, especially with all of the misleading advertising techniques, corrupt political campaigns, and differed views that present-day society bombards its constituents with. He also made the…

    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.…

    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…
