Image result for picture of venezuela risingIn the Venezuela Rising video there are many conflicts being shown. The fight between people and the government. The main conflicts taking place would be man verse society. Students are fighting against the government and each-other. Loss is taking place because people are losing their lives fighting against each other. They are losing  body parts with the weapons they are using against one another. The loss of homes.  Families are now living on the street homeless because either the government took their home or someone destroyed it. "The fight between the rich and the poor," one man has said in the video. The poor are fighting for more justice, they are fighting against not only the government but against big business companies. The economic war.  Isolation is also shown in this video with families living in a family oriented, hardworking environment. There are certain areas where no violence is taken place and families live there that are "working families, retired families, and pensioners." another man also stated that in the video.   During the fights between each other isolation is also portrayed when people start to hideout in stores or in their homes to stay safe. They isolate themselves from all the chaos. Another conflict that is shown is guilt. The man said in the video, "Even with all the problems we are having its still a beautiful country." He knows how messed up the country is during the economic wars and he does feel bad but he stays strong for his country and talks about its beauty. He also feels guilty that the country has to go through this destruction. Everyone feels guilty that are country is slowly falling apart because of these violent protests. In this video what do you think was the biggest conflict that stood out? Loss? Isolation? Guilt?
