I believe the  U.S should offer support the the latin American people. With the U.S money, latin america would be able to build more infrastructure. As well as the U.S could help push out the corrupt officials and bring more police ti lessen the violence. We want to keep our morals as a country and help any country to achieve democracy.

I think that the US should take part in helping Latin America. Mainly this is so they can achieve some of the global goals that they have put set. While sending money would most likely help the most, many of Latin American counties have very corrupt leaders running them, so the money will most likely not end up going to the right places to help. I think what the US should do is set up donations for food for countries such as Venezuela. In Venezuela, many children are malnourished and who would use food. Setting up something like a food donation drive and having something like a boat take over food to these countries would be a good idea for the US.

A large problem in Latin America seems to be corruption found in the justice system, and impractical use of their natural resources. Latin America could benefit monetarily from US aid through funds to support the well-being of underprivileged areas such as Peru where female civilians are subject to unsafe and unethical contraceptive practices, and Venezuela where civilians struggle to find food every day due to the increasing issue of hyperinflation.  in regards to the corrupt justice system, that may be found in Venezuela, civilians subejct to more authoritarian leaders are prohibitted to speak in opposition of their govenement. The US, without force, may have the power to provide refuge to victims of this harmful system.

The US should take an indirect approch in Latin America. Instead of throwing money and resources at the sitution, the government should focus on things that they can do for themselves that will benefit Latin America indirectly. For example, the U.S should continue investing in alternative energy resources to help reduce carbon emissions and climate change. Reducing climate change will help many of the hungry and impovershed countries by allowing their native resources to thrive in their environment. Thus, latin american countries can use these resources for economic activities and food production. Also, not only can the US help reduce climate change, but we can help reduce corruption and violence specifically related to drugs. The US needs to continue to prevent drugs being smuggled into the US and help people get off of these drugs through rehabilitation programs. If there is no longer a demand for cociane or other drugs from these latin american countries, there will no longer be government corruption or cartel violenece because drugs are no longer a powerful economic source.

I feel the US should take a role in social/ economic aspects pertaining to Latin America. Ultimately so that they can spread ideals to these areas that are experiencing extreme humanitarian issues. This could result in Latin American countries accepting ideologies that can better their society. Also aiding in obtaining the UN global goals more efficiently. However, they shouldn’t encroach on the government so that conflict doesn’t arise. For example, setting up programs to receive quality education and providing adequate nutrition. Additionally, utilizing resources that countries already have that do have the potential to be prosperous would be beneficial. Like in Venezuela the oil reserves are one of their biggest economic powerhouses, so it would largely better their economy if the US were to help reconstruct that once prosperous industry. The US could also help provide jobs by sending investors to Latin American countries. In order to reduce poverty and generate income to families. Although in Puerto Rico this attempt failed, the attempt had good intent behind it.

In my opinion, I think the United States should intervene with the issues present in Latin America due to the fact that it is our moral duty to assist those in need. The US could establish different relief programs within the developing countries in order to not only help the struggling population but to also avoid the misuse of currency compared to if we had just granted them large sums of money. Medical aid, refined justice programs, as well as adding additional wildlife reserves would greatly benefit the countries in Latin America. In providing these resources, the citizens of Latin America will have little stress for basic needs such as safety and shelter and can begin building back things like their economy and trust in the government.

I believe that the U.S. should take a less interventionist-based approach and focus more on the domestic principles that negatively contribute to problems in Latin America. For example, the U.S. is responsible for a large part of the demand that encourages drug trafficking in Colombia. Although it is an exceedingly complex problem, the best way the United States can assist Latin America is through attempting to control the drug problem within our own borders, and in turn, decrease the need for intensive coca harvesting. Another way that U.S. domestic activity negatively impacts Latin America is through nation-wide unsustainable practices that contribute to climate change. By implementing environmentally sustainable practices, such as a more expansive public transport system in both urban and residential areas to help combat carbon emissions from cars, the U.S. can do its part to fight climate change. This would therefore reduce the intensity of the natural disasters that endanger the lives of Latin Americans.

The U.S. should help with struggling areas in Latin America but should stay out of all other domains. I believe this because Latin American countries are thriving in many domains, things like a high abundance in energy and mineral resources help them be successful, meaning some don't need the United State's help. On the other hand, America should help the people who are in major need, for example, the people who are hunger stricken and poor in Venezuela due to the corrupt government. Instead of providing aid to countries that don't require it, we should provide aid to the few that actually do.

I think the US should provide a sense of government and stability in Latin America. They could do this by pressuring the government there to enforce better laws that will help the citizens better access their essential needs. The US could also send some resources to them that would help the economy. Probably not money, incase the government decides to use it on themselves or purchase drugs, but if actual resources are sent it could help the environment and the people there greatly.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that the U.S. should take a role in Latin America similar to that of a guiding but not controlling parent. We should help stabilize Latin American countries via trade and manufacturing as well as fostering potential morally good, strong political leaders for said countries. That being said, we should not hamper with the election process. Specifically, more manufacturing companies should try to establish factories in Latin American countries to promote economic growth and to provide jobs to the many that are unemployed at this time.

I believe, the U.S. could take a little more of an active stance in preventing or helping fix detrimental situations. Of course we don't want too much involvement like with the wars in Korea and Vietnam where our goals failed to come in fruition. But, we could have a blockade for certain issues, for example, the illegal extraction of gold in Peru. The U.S. buys more than 2 Billion dollars worth a year, and 20% of that gold has caused so many problems in Peru. In order for the practices to change blockading a major export of theirs may cause that first domino to fall. With economic and environmental issues it's a bit easier to challenge and fix than other countries' social issues. For example, in Trinidad women face constant fear of murder, kidnapping, domestic abuse, and other violent crimes against women. Gender equality is lacking fundamentally in society. The U.S. can't just show up with a tank and demand change, or just blockade goods till change happens (cause that would just cause tension). The U.S. could, However, just not ally or disassociate with Trinidad like other countries (Russia). The U.S. can "play nice" by holding relations but other than that no commit more till reforms happen within their society. The more reform then more of a relation, trade, and alliance with Trinidad could happen.

The United States should take part of the collective efforts taken by the United Nations to aid and better the systems and states within Latin America; such as sending aid to Venezuelan citizens, and sending medical aid, both in form of people and supplies, and etc. State-side efforts and policies of action that should be taken include ensuring the mobility and ability of migrants from such countries when they arrive to America, as well as making the journey of such migrants and asylum-seekers an easier and more accessible, more accepting, process; one that does not make 12 year olds travel from Guatemala to the border of Texas and Mexico without any guardian, due to the small chance that the guardian would be admitted along with the child. However, military troops, arms supplying, and enforcing policies that only further victimizes the migrants and makes their process of immigrating and fleeing more detrimental to their existence and their livelihoods; such as practices, as aforementioned, that allow for 12 year-old to pass the US/Mexico border without any guardian or place to go within American borders.

the us should help with poverty,deforestation,and many more, the children need education for a growth in the economy and they are skipping just to feed them selves

The US should help Latin America in only certain ways which are the social and economy aspect but not in a way where the US encroaches on that country government or people. Economically, the US could help develop companies that benefit the country with resources they have there that hire local citizens to work to provide an income for a family and even the economy out. These new companies can provide jobs, money, resources, needing to import less, exporting things that bring in more money and more jobs, etc. The US can also help provide resources to these countries to start up the economy again. Also the United States can help socially by providing jobs to locals which provide an income and more stability for a family helping reduce the amount of poverty and people struggling with money. An example is Puerto Rico where the US sent investors to start up companies there and hire at least one local, while this failed at providing jobs for the citizens, if this idea is done right with people hiring local citizens and providing things for the country and people the effect on the social and economic aspect of the country would greatly improve life for all.

I believe the US should take a role of safeguarding or overviewing the protection of people in Latin American countries. This ensures the safety of all the innocent lives being destroyed amidst the corruption affecting all aspects on one´s daily life. Such as extreme food storages, lack of basic human rights, high unemployment, and rising violence. Majority of the power within their current government is used for self interest with complete disregard for the countries and society affected. For example, the US could directly send aid/supplies to specific US controlled bases/organizations to ensure the security of them, showing the people are supported by such a large source of stability.

The United States could help benefit Latin America by providing resources and money to build sustainable communities. Also, because the amount of immigration between the United States and Latin America is so high, the U.S. could strengthen the borders and make them safer while providing shelters and opportunities for migrants. Giving those in Latin America opportunities to better their lives and well-being of their families allows them to make their living conditions better and their enviroment safer.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the U.S. should take a role in Latin American countries depending on what problem they are facing. For example, U.S. should be able to take a role in Nicaragua's supply of beef because the beef ends up going to the U.S. anyway to be sold and eaten. If the U.S. wasn't a part of this trade, then the U.S. shouldn't have to care about the beef. Another example is the Mexican border. Since the Mexican border overall ties in with the U.S. border, the U.S. should be able to take a role here. The U.S. ended up sending money and troops to Mexico's southern border in order to make it stronger. It really just depends on the situation and whether or not the U.S. has any involvement in it.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe the US should assist Latin America with its issues only if its outcome involves the US. For example, if a large number of immigrants are coming to America due to violence and corruption in their country, then the US should try and rally a group that would help overthrow the corruption. The US should also prompt a more qualified leader in that country. Additionally, if the US provides aid for countries facing natural disasters or limited resources, then the country will return the favor by trading resources that the country is known for. This will help create a strong diplomatic relationship and increase the status of the US as a world power.

I believe the US should intervene in Latin America and lift Sanctions imposed on Latin American countries. The United States sanctions on Venezuela affected everyday citizens while the President remained unaffected. The Sanctions harmed those with no say in government who were already struggling to survive.The US should try to help the citizens of Latin America approach the UN Global Goals of Sustainability by sending produce, fruits and vegetable to help aid the starving population in each country.The United States should make peace with as many Latin countries as possible to not agitate officials and create a war that would be more harmful to the people of Latin America.

# data[].attributes.body
the us should help the people struggling to eat everyday for reasons out of their control. However I know that that cannot be the only reason for stepping in. Thankfully Latin america has an abundance of valuable resources such as oil in venezuela, and the medicine in the amazon rainforest. Latin America has so much to offer to the world however due to things such as corruption, political means, or other selfish people causing everyone around them to suffer, has made Latin America to what we know today.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe the Us should take a role in ending hunger in Latin American countries. The Us is more economically stable than most Latin American countries specifically Venezuela where children are malnourished. The US can help the people of this country by donating money to help buy food for Venezuela. However, they could also take a more direct approach and starting food drives to be sent over to food deprived communities in Venezuela.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the US should take a hands off approach to handling Latin America. For example they should try to help them politically and influentially doing things such as pressuring their governments into making changes and fixing infrastructure or pressing for free and fair elections. The US shouldn't send money to these countries as most of them are run by corrupt leaders who would either funnel the money to themselves or invest it in businesses that would only make the top 1% richer.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe the US should offer aid but refrain from sanctions as much as possible. Sanctions tend to affect everyday people and industries more than leaders which can prove ineffective when dealing with corruption in government or leadership. Perhaps, instead of monetary aid, which can be used for personal gain, we could offer aid in food or medical supplies. This would ensure that the aid was used for its intended purpose, an important failsafe when dealing with corrupt governments. I believe Latin America should accept this aid since it would help their people, especially in countries like Venezuela where basic supplies like food are needed
