VENEZUELA

Venezuela And The Us

By Victor Gonzalez

Globalization has made countries look more alike and closer. This is due to the use of new technologies, the Internet and Social Networks. Now we see that music, dances, fashion and food (fast food franchises, sweets and ice cream) and many other things are very similar in many countries. For example, between the United States and Venezuela, we have always been united by the love of baseball, basketball, and movies or series of tv, without neglecting the commercial exchange between oil and various goods. But despite this closeness that globalization gives us, each country has its own personality that differentiates them from each other, which is why we see that in Venezuela, families are usually big and the country is small, all events are held in family and friends, births, marriages, birthdays, baptisms, Christmas, New Year, etc. In these holidays family ties and with friends become very strong, so much so that friends are identified as another member of the family and in some cases they are called uncles, cousins and even grandfather, that is why they tell us that Venezuelans are very friendly. On the other hand, since the US is such a large country and the family is generally small, its people are more reserved, calm and serious.

I came to the United States because of the difficult situation that my country Venezuela is going through, politically and economically. I liked the United States and I would take some activities of this country to my country, such as the political organization, its way of life, his love of nature, his founding and contemporary heroes, his Independence Day and more. The US continues to be a country where you can fulfill your dreams, as long as you are hard worked, resourceful and responsible.
