How Did Hugo Chavez Change The World
“The devil himself is in the house. The devil came here yesterday and it smells of sulfur still today." Hugo Chávez said on September 10th, 2006; defying President Bush in the United Nations (U.N.) assembly. Chávez as president of Venezuela since 1999, he defied the world by insulting Bush and other high rank political leaders. He has influenced governments of other countries by the power gained by oil such as Bolivia, Peru and Iran that has also defied the U.S. by selling military supplies to Iraqis. Chavez and his ideology have changed the world that we see, and was named by Time magazine, one of the 100 most influential people in the world.
As the spokesman of imperialism, he came to share his nostrums to try to preserve the current pattern of domination, exploitation and pillage of the peoples of the world. An Alfred Hitchcock movie could use it as a scenario. I would even propose a title: 'The Devil's Recipe.'
Chávez has not only made commentaries about Bush, he has also commented about Mexican President, Vicente Fox, on November 2005. "Gentleman do not put with me, because you get out stung”. He said that because many of the 28 countries that they endorsed the proposal of the Área de Libre Comercio de las Américas (ALCA) (English: Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA)).

    The impact of one single speech can essentially affect the entire world. Granted, there are different degrees of impact felt: those present at the speech, those who watched/heard the actual speech from somewhere else, those who heard some things about it from someone else, and so on and so forth. As the speaker’s message experiences a sort of ripple affect, it calms and becomes less and less dynamic. The main point, or gist, of the speech endures but potentially valuable details; those pertaining to the speaker himself, the location, the timing, current social, political, and economic climates, flake off. Understanding the context is vital when one wishes to understand a speech. Therefore, using Cesar Chavez’s “The Mexican-American and the Church” speech from Sacramento, California on March 8, 1968, I will demonstrate my contextual analysis.…

    Roorda uses abundant detail and careful research in describing the United States’ paradoxical relationship with Trujillo, relying heavily on government documents, personal papers, the contemporary press, and a large number of secondary sources. While The Dictator net Door assertions are not groundbreaking (recent diplomatic history is harshly critical of U.S support for brutal dictators), it is well-written, with concise prose and well-constructed arguments. On the whole it is an excellent diplomatic history. For scholars seeking an explanation of U.S. relations with Latin America, and who do not mind its sharp criticisms of U.S. foreign policy’s ethical lapses and oversights, The Dictator Next Door is well worth one’s time.…

    Chavez mentions that apart from the Black Americans who were "...beginning to assert their civil rights..." there was little to no recognition for Hispanics. Which is important because like Martin Luther King Jr., he became a influential person fighting to unite and organize many farm workers to raise awareness. In his closing paragraph, he makes a memorable quote in which he says, "The day will come when the politicians will to the right thing for our people out of political necessity and not out of charity or idealism." This quote, in my opinion, highlights what he was fighting for, which was political freedom and equality that the farm workers deserved.…

    The United States, in simple terms, was built upon a group of people who wanted change. These people knew that if they did not act, then they would not receive the change that was needed. When asked if peaceful resistance to laws positively or negatively impact a free society we must look at the past for an answer. And as the United States of America our history shows that peaceful protest positively impacts a free society. In the years of 1954-1968 African-Americans peacefully fought for the end of segregation and various forms of oppression, including race-inspired violence. Laws barred them from classrooms, bathrooms, theaters, and train cars that were used by "whites." Leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr. peacefully fought for freedom by speaking out to the public that all…
