The studies are important for all and the most countries have education in different ways but always with the same value. In Venezuela exist the education is public and private as in U.S. But have a different because U.S is a country more develops that Venezuela and the public education is better in U.S that Venezuela. In our country the education is on the contrary because the private education is better and the people like more. This happen with the education in school and high school.
The universities are different because in Venezuela the most important universities are public. The private universities are good also but more expensive and not all are good. In U.S the majority of the universities are private and expensive. The people guard money to pay the university or ask for scholarships.
In my opinion both methods of education are good and important.




The most people know Venezuela by the baseball that is the most important game in the country. The professional baseball exists for 53 years in Venezuela. In United State of America the baseball is important game and has a lot fans. Some persons think that baseball is only for one group. The sport more famous in U.S.A is American football because anyone can play. The majority persons identify whit this sport.
The baseball represents Venezuela and Football represents United State. This icons chance with the culture of the people and represent internationally the countries.
Venezuelan people don’t play football, because not is part of our culture and don’t know it. This wants say that is own of the country. In Venezuela we have own games but is not famous like baseball. This is a reflection of the different cultures.



The economy of ours countries is very different. The U.S has an economy strong and advance. Venezuela though has a lot oil but don’t have a good administration and the governments don’t take care the money.
In Venezuela the name of our currency is “Bolivar”. The name of the currency in U.S is “Dollar”. The dollar costs more that the Bolivar because has a better support economic.
United State has a better economy because has more industrialization with high technology. Has a better trade worldwide scale. Venezuela has only a support of oil and doesn’t develop other economic forms.
Both countries have international trade but U.S is more better and has more money.

Venezuelan Stereotypes


I want to begin saying that I proud to be Venezuelan and live there. Venezuela has different cultures and a mixture of race, for this combination we don’t have racism in our country, and we believe in the equality.

When the must people listen Venezuela thing in happiness and party, this is truth because the Venezuelan people the majority of the times are happiness and do its jobs with optimism, but this can be bad because the people think that all is a joke and can be a problem between persons.



In Venezuela we have a problem that the people know, is the disorder, which brings bad consequences to order of country, this cause a wrong reputation with the people that come to our country.





Internationally our country is famous for the baseball, because this sport is the most important in Venezuela, the men that practices are famous and go to other countries to play. Other sports are not important because don’t play good and don’t have necessary practice. Other things because we are famous in other countries are the dance and the beautiful woman, it is because we love dance and we dance in everywhere and every time, this is a reason for which they consider us happy people.

We are considerate like we have pretty woman because we have won many contest of beautiful internationally.


One of our bad reputations is that we never respect the law. Nobody respect the semaphore, the stop sign, and the turn of another person, this causes disorder, fight and danger in the country.
The Venezuelan always is there for you, if somebody needs help, the Venezuelan helps you. We are friends of all, and the people can trust and entertain with us.

American Stereotypes



According to the book Cross-Cultural Contact with Americans, the stereotypes are “exaggerated beliefs and images about groups and people are often based on a lack of information or contact”. The stereotypes happen everywhere with all persons.




In my opinion the Americans have a particular stereotype that represents in other countries and its own country. When I think in Americans, I think principally in fast food, because they are created a lot food for microwave that is dangerous for the health and cause obesity in the people. I believe that this happen for other stereotype of American, because they are good and hard works but give a lot important and forget other things more necessary like the family.




I have appreciation for the respect that they have to the law, the Americans obey with yours duty, and the care its property publishes and private, this surprise me because in my country this don’t happen.




In America the variety of culture exist, because live people of other countries or person’s different classes, the Americans respect the different persons and they created laws for the equality. In my opinion this is a good thing but the cultures don’t integrate and they support distance between them, this happen in the most cases but not in all the case, and they have always respect.
In this summer I had the opportunity of new friends know and the majority they were so friendly and respectful. I going to home with nice memories and with a lot friends.
