In
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?

I believe that loss is the most important conflict in this documentary. Losing loved ones, or seeing someone lose a body part can be very traumatizing. War is a very traumatic and tragic thing in life. This loss that we see shows us to not take things for granted.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you and Dominic. Loss is evident in the nation of Venezuela as seen throughout the documentary. Not only in the loss of loved ones but as a nation as a whole. The once beautiful country has fallen into shambles due to a corrupt government who is pushing the blame onto all but themselves.
ReplyDeleteI agree with what you are saying about loss and how it is a main idea of this documentary. I would also say isolation could play a big part too because if you lose someone close, it could cause you to have a traumatic experience and want to be lonesome.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the man vs Society because through out the video they showed a lot of situations where it took place. The students are going against one and another. It's also a shame how the poor has to fight for their ow justice when the rich doesn't have to worry at all.
ReplyDeleteThe biggest conflict that stood out to me would be loss. The Venezuelan citizens were losing their country, their money, their sanity, and etc. But once they would be able to stop the flow of loss they would be able to begin rebuilding. But what would all of you say the Venezuelan people are losing most?
ReplyDeletereally good question to end with and such a hard one to answer. I think it is a combo - little bit by bit taken away until they find they have nothing left. I wonder if a government plays this game with its people - how much can they take away before a revolt?
