Venezuela vs Vancouver

In both countries, Venezuela and Vancouver, you can find a lot of different cultures, and a lot of tourism. You can find people from all over the world which is a positive point because it helps to improve the economy of the country and also you can get to know other types of food, music, religion and cultures. One difference between Vancouver and Venezuela is that here in Vancouver you can find more Asian people and culture than in Venezuela. Also a point in favor could be that other cultures from other countries are more identified than in Venezuela, it means that you can see all the traditions and all the typical things from that country. But this fact also has a negative consequence because the Canadian culture is losing importance or the people from the other countries are more interested in their own cultures than Canadian. Another good merit could also be that in Vancouver the English language avoids clash in cultures because everyone knows how to communicate.

In my opinion in the last 10-15 years globalization had changed my hometown bringing different types of foods, music, politics and cultures. An advantage could be that people will get to know other cultures from other countries and many different opinions can be shared. A negative point might be that the immigration will cause overpopulation. Also investors from other countries do business, and without knowing destroy Venezuelan culture and Venezuelan property. It could also be a positive point because the economy will boost.
