Caracazo This article discusses "Caracazo," a nine-day riot in the city of Caracas, Venezuela in the year, 1989. The article discusses the “Bogotazo:” another riot which happened in Colombia in 1948 (40 years prior to “Caracazo”). Some distractions within the article are pictures of the riots in Caracas, picture of stolen goods does not necessarily reflect how bad or dangerous the riots were. The article is mostly neutral. The article claims that the main cause for the riots were the government’s economic reforms. Also, the article discusses the 1988 election and the majority of favoritism going towards the “Democratic Action” political party. There are no viewpoints or opinions that are over or under-represented. One of the links does not work (page is no longer available). Yet, the sources do support the claims made in the article. One of the sentences is paraphrased from a non-cited source. Fortunately, the sources referenced in the article are neutral and unbiased. The information regarding “Bogotazo” is about a similar event, but it occurred forty years earlier. There are not many conversations that discuss the topic in a different way that was represented in the article. It is rated pretty well, and is apart of over thirty WikiProjects. We have not discussed this topic in class yet.
