Political Conflict

Most of the people around the globe know there are conflicts in some countries, but they really don't know the reason of them. Disagreement and different ideologies are the main cause of political conflict. This arrises whenever at least two distinct powelful political groups disagree over a way of doing things. Not always people care about what happen in other countries, but according to Colombia's geographical position, lastly we are hearing about conflict in Venezuela. 

After many years of Chavez controling Venezuela and the unconformity of the society the situation went chaotic. Around one year Hugo Chaves died of a cancer. Maduro counts with the support of the army to confront civilians that are protestist against his ideology. Leopoldo Lopez is the lider of the opposition momevent and he went to jail because of leading the movement. The streets are full of protesters that are tired of false democracy. As time passes the situation is getting worst. People are being killed and mutilated by the police.  

In my opinion Venezuela people shoud arm themselves in order to make stronger their protest. The need to talk the same language as the government to be at the same conditions. Maduro, Venezuela's actual president, is a very ignorant man who used to be a bus driver. According to his way of razoning things it would be impossible to get to an agreement between the crowd and the president.

Refugees

Flying their countries
Looking for a better place 
Running of situations 
that make them unsafe. 

Hoping to find a place 
That keeps them safe 
Ignoring the obtacles 
That wait them there.

About me

My name is Alejandro Giraldo Serrano and I am 17 years old. I was born in Bucaramanga, Colombia, on February 7, 1997. After I am done with school, that it will be in a few months, I plan study business administration. Something I haven't decided yet is to go one year for  exchange or begin university right after finishing school. I really like traveling and I think it is the best thing you can do in life. I love sports, that is why I enjoy them the most and maybe that is what makes a very active person. I attend to Portuguese classes for about 7 months but I do not speak it well, but i am very interested in speak this language perfectly.
