Introduction
Venezuela is a constitutional republic that allows the people to vote for the president, and politicians into office. If the people of Venezuela see something that is wrong in the government, then they can protest, or vote out the politicians in office. Cuba is the complete opposite. Cuba is a communist country and the government is ran as a dictatorship. There are no elections, or different politicians which allow the same people to stay in power throughout the years. Venezuela’s economy has been heading toward a downwards in the last couple of years and recently it has led to protest, revolts, and hyperinflation. Venezuela used to be one of the best economic nations in the world, due to their oil imports. This led them to believe …show more content…
The way he describes the economy is different from other economist. Campbell uses a graph to indicate that the growth of the economy has been on the rise since the collapse in the 90’s “(Campbell, 277). He uses the GDP as just a minor factor of the economy, but his main arguments are proposed on what Cuba has done to improve the problems they have faced in the past to describe if the economy is improving, the same or getting worse. Campbell reflects that Cuba’s success in health care and education are ones that are always talked about. He fails to talk about those two issues in his article that creates a flaw in his writing. The four main points he talks about are housing, electrical blackouts, food and transportation. Within those points he described Cuba’s past and how they have improved those issues at hand today. Cuba had to improve their health care and education in some form throughout the years. Health care and education are an important to a nation’s economic growth so Campbell’s failure to talk about two of Cuba’s best qualities shows some bias. Campbell’s methods to view Cuba’s economy has to do with an observation method. For every point he brings up Campbell has some measurements to compare the old and current measurements of the article which seems to be in 2006. The measurements he uses are not all in the form of a table, or graph. His claims would …show more content…
As seen in the literature review Venezuela used to be a nation that was economically great, and trying to become better. In an article “The Corruption of Democracy in Venezuela” by Gustavo Cornel describes what went wrong and how corrupt the politicians of Venezuela are. Some examples of corruption were “the policy decisions that are made, at the level of government bureaucracy, and systematic corruption. This type of corruption is evident due to the fact that in at the end of March the Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro and the courts stripped the National Assembly of their powers. In the article Gallon states “all powers vested under the legislative body would be transferred to the court, which is stacked with government loyalists” (CNN, 2017). When the ruling took in effect, it sparked an outrage. The people were not happy since they knew by stripping the national assembly of its power then the United Socialist party would have all the power (CNN, 2017). This resulted in to some violent protest. Maduro wisely revoked his decision days later which is important because Venezuela is a “constitutional-Republic so the people are able to choose the politicians, but the politicians that run are not always the best one. Even though Venezuela is declared a democracy since it allows for the citizens to vote, it does not mean that the next
