Also, Venezuelans do not really have a “Own space/Privacy” concept. Generally speaking, for us it is necessary to have certain contact with people. This concept is also reflected in the way Venezuelans maintain their relationships with others. Keeping constantly in contact, visiting family or friends, making reunion parties, and gathering together are very common things between Venezuelans.

The crisis in Venezuela has happened in several other South American countries such as Colombia and El Salvador as well. Another example of the government interfering in people’s lives and preventing them from learning who they, as people, truly are is North Korea. North Korea is one of the countries that participates in a dictatorship for a government and has strict laws against what the…
