South America is one of the most biodiverse continents on earth. Brazil is the largest country in South America, encompassing around half of the continent's land area and population. The remaining countries and territories are divided among three regions: The Andean States, the Guianas and the Southern Cone. This continent is built up from 12 countries and 3 dependencies.
I have decided to talk about our country Colombia, about Venezuela which is it’s neighbor and about Argentina in this essay.
Colombia’s government is a republic with the separation of powers, that is divided into legislative, executive, and judicial branches. It’s legislative has a congress, it’s judiciary has a supreme court, and it’s executive branch has it’s president. One positive aspect that Colombia has is that there have been more movements and groups because before it was only divided into the liberals and conservatives, and by time this has changed and progressed. Our country has its problems, sone examples would be the corruption the country has and the peace process conflict. These two conflicts mentioned before are a big problem our country faces since it has its controversies. The peace process has its negative and positive aspects. We all know that if that contract is signed, then the displacement of people because of violence would end, and lands would be given back to their own farmers. Its negative side is that when that contract is signed, then the participation of the guerrilla groups in the politics would be made and no one would want that. Colombia is a society characterized by its deep social exclusion. More than 60 percent of the population is poor—more than 11 million Colombians do not even earn a dollar a day and cannot maintain minimal levels of nutrition. Furthermore, 80 percent of the rural population is poor and nearly 60 percent is destitute. Our economical situation is a problem since teachers and workers are not being paid the fair amount of money they should be winning, and I believe that all of these problems would be resolved of the government does something about it for the better of our corrupted country.
Venezuela is a country of natural beauty, ranging from the snow-capped Andean peaks in the west, through the Amazonian jungles in the south, to the beaches of the north. It is also among the most highly urbanized countries in Latin America. The country has some of the world’s largest proven oil deposits as well as huge quantities of coal, iron ore, bauxite and gold. Yet many Venezuelans live in poverty, often in shanty towns, some of which sprawl over the hillsides around the capital, Caracas. Venezuela is now in the midst of an unprecedented economic and political crisis marked by severe food and medicine shortages, soaring crime rates, and an increasingly authoritarian executive. It was once a rich country held together by strong leadership and heavy social spending, and it is now in economic disaster and could slide into widespread social disorder, triggering instability throughout Latin America. I believe that this country can get back to where it was before all the chaos and crisis there has been.
Argentina is the 2nd largest country in South America that is best known for it’s tango, the elegant architecture, steak, wine, and soccer. The country remains locked in a territorial dispute with Britain over the Falklands Islands, which are governed as a British overseas territory, but have been claimed by Buenos Aires since the 1830s. Despite recent economic struggles, Argentina continues to play an important role within the global economy, especially with regards to its agricultural production.
I conclude from everything said that every country has its own economical, political and social problems but the citizens of the countries try to deal with these circumstances and try making it a better place to form a better living in.
