The Andean country of Bolivia, on the other hand, is known to be the poorest country in South America as well as one of the most politically unstable ones in the world. “Throughout its 184-year history, it has had 82 different rulers or ruling coalitions, and heads of state have routinely arrived at the highest office in the land via coups, counter-coups, revolts, and popular protests.” However, from 1985 until 2003, Bolivia tried hard to break from this pattern by having five consecutive free…

Animal’s frantically running back into the forest fearful of heavy machinery and chainsaws destroying what they once called home. Tree stomps and logs and dead trees as far as the eye can see. These are probably the heart-breaking images one would see going into the Amazon Rainforest today. The Amazon Rainforest is home to 40,000 plant species, 427 species of mammals, 1,300 species of birds, 378 species of reptiles, 400 or more species of amphibians, and close to 3000 species of fish. This means…

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.

Venezuela’s…

The word snuffles is synonymous with the action of sniffling and snivelling, meaning the sharp intake of breath or mucous which results in an audible sound. This word is supposedly not a commonly known English word, and is often replaced by its more common synonym “sniffling”.

To be more specific, the modern day definition of the term snuffling refers…

country people are standing up for what they believe is right. Americans are fighting against oppression, the inaction of government, and corporations who don’t seem to care who gets hurt in the name of progress and profit. In other countries like Brazil and Venezuela protesters fill the streets pleading for their political change as they starve. It would be nice to think that this is something rare but the truth is the world’s societies are constantly growing and the only way for us to grow is…

As a Brazilian, I am very familiarized with violence and its consequences, therefore, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a familiar expression to me. Differently from the U.S, where PTSD can be related to psychological scars of the war(s), Brazil has its’ rates most associated with street violence and crimes, and this became a trigger to increase mental health issues all over the country. However – despite being acquainted with the theme – it was only after reflecting on Chapter 5, the…

neonatal issues, as they affect the daily lives of children, teenagers, men and women. The complications of prematurity are the leading cause of neonatal deaths and the second most frequent cause of deaths in children younger than 5 years of age. In Brazil, health policies and strategic actions in the field of maternal and child care have been implemented over the last decades with the purpose of minimizing maternal and child morbidity and mortality, especially neonatal and early neonatal.…

Food availability in Brazil is enough to provide and distribute among it’s population, therefore, the lack of access to receive food isn’t because of the lack of availability but their wage they receive. This then serves another problem in Brazil as 16 million people throughout Brazil are malnourished and without food, they’re inability to afford food is suppressing them from getting the supplies…
