CONCLUSIONS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 174 References Annexes iv Presentation As a sort of presentation of this study, rather than a dedication, I would like to assert that this study was not carried out under the aegis of any institution, therefore, the concepts, comments and opinions, if any, are the responsibility of the writer, who solely is responsible for the content of the entire work. Neither the institution (UMSA) nor the supervisor are by any means liable for the contents. i Acknowledgments First of all, I want to thank my Maker for giving me the senses and the capacity for producing and doing ‘things.’ Thanks to the Lord. I would like to thank Lic. M. Virginia Coronado, my supervisor, who in spite of being so busy made room in her agenda for seeing me. The exchanges of ideas we have had have been so productive and inspiring that I will always remember them. Then, I would also like to thank Lic. Gregorio Calisaya and Lic. David Aduviri, members of the committee; whose observations helped to shape the final edition of this study into the traditional format of a thesis. Finally, I might thank all the people that somehow, with their behaviour, led me to delve into the fascinating world of human behaviour, not only those in government but also people in general whose attitudes really made me think about the society we live in. ii PREFACE The following qualitative study was developed under the scope of Critical Discourse Analysis, and in order to fully understand its real dimension, the following aspects should be considered. First, as the reader will notice, this study is not the sum of separate sections which need to be articulated, rather, it should be taken as a whole entity. The presentation might look a bit like a book, in fact the narrative form has been chosen because it reflects how the study developed itself (Creswell; 2013; 4). Thus, although it is divided into sections and chapters, there is a continuous chain of events. The introduction is related to the first section which is related to the next section, and so forth, until the conclusions section. Then, as a characteristic of this type of study, most of the questions, research questions, arose gradually and led to make new associations. For instance, the section concerning the French Revolution is not just a historical review because the analysis of the data showed some similarities which led to a specific review of some facts of the French revolution. Moreover, after the review of some uprisings, it was necessary to highlight some facts of the uprisings as a summary, which was not planned a priori. Keeping this in mind, the reader might benefit not only from this study, but also armed with this critical perspective, the reader hopefully will profit from other texts written about similar topics. iii ABSTRACT The following qualitative study has been developed under the scope of Critical Discourse Analysis. In order to get a real and scientific perspective, a brief history of the origins of language has been developed, followed by a short description of language which goes beyond

    La Paz, Estado Plurinacional de Bolivia 4 de agosto de 2014 EN DEFENSA DE PALESTINA La Red En Defensa de la Humanidad (REDH), ante los trágicos sucesos que está viviendo el hermano pueblo palestino en Gaza, cumple con su deber de manifestar lo siguiente: Declaramos nuestra adhesión a las palabras del compañero Evo Morales, fundador de la Red En Defensa de la Humanidad y Presidente del Estado Plurinacional de Bolivia, por las que se declara a Israel como Estado terrorista. Manifestamos nuestra absoluta repulsa al genocidio que sufre el pueblo palestino a manos de un Estado fundado sobre el despojo y la ocupación colonial de los territorios palestinos. Reconocemos y expresamos nuestra solidaridad con la heroica lucha del pueblo palestino y de sus organizaciones de resistencia, especialmente en Gaza, contra el intento de Israel de exterminarlo y arrebatarle los jirones que quedan de lo que fue su patria. Condenamos el rol imperialista de Estados Unidos que alimenta y apoya política, financiera y militarmente a Israel ante la insólita inacción del Consejo de Seguridad de la ONU, cuyas resoluciones sobre la cuestión Palestina son violadas sistemática e impunemente por Washington. Unos Estados Unidos que muestran la hipocresía y el cinismo con el que han venido actuando a lo largo de su historia, amenazando con sanciones e intervenciones a pueblos de América Latina, África y Eurasia que defienden su soberanía al mismo tiempo que respalda la acción de Israel. Denunciamos la complicidad con estos hechos, por omisión en algunos casos, de los gobiernos de la Unión Europea, así como la subordinación incondicional de los oligopolios mediáticos a los dictados de Washington.

  • Bolivia 2015 Human Rights Report
    BOLIVIA 2015 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Bolivia is a constitutional, multiparty republic with an elected president and a bicameral legislature. On October 12, 2014, in a process deemed free but whose fairness was questioned by international observers, citizens re-elected President Evo Morales Ayma, leader of the Movement Toward Socialism Party (MAS), for a third term. Civilian authorities maintained effective control over the security forces. The most serious human rights problems included widespread corruption and inefficiency in the country’s law enforcement and judicial system, leading to arbitrary arrest or detention, denial of a fair and timely public trial, and harsh prison conditions. Government officials actively promoted restrictions on freedom of press and association and used legal mechanisms to limit political opposition. Additional human rights problems included abuse by police and military officials, lack of government transparency, violence against women, trafficking in persons, vigilante justice, poor labor conditions, and child labor. Societal discrimination continued against women; members of racial and ethnic minority groups; individuals with disabilities; indigenous persons; lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender, and intersex (LGBTI) persons; and those with HIV/AIDS. Although the government took steps in some cases to prosecute security service and other government officials who committed abuses, inconsistent application of the laws and a dysfunctional judiciary led to impunity. Section 1. Respect for the Integrity of the Person, Including Freedom from: a. Arbitrary or Unlawful Deprivation of Life While there were no reports that the government or its agents committed arbitrary or unlawful killings, several cases of arbitrary or unlawful deprivation of life remained unresolved.
