Venezuela is one of the richest oil countries and one with potential in many industries. Recently, Venezuela is being watched worldwide by its political decisions in the efforts of developing other dormant industries that have been neglected over time. Not because these industries do not have potential, but more due to the government main focus on the crude oil industry and refining of petroleum as well. Venezuela has much oil, and naturally it has centered its attention to this reserve. The government has nationalized many industries in an effort to take control of the growth and development in a campaign that strongly suggests the nationalization of many other industries. The political atmosphere in Venezuela has always been tied to its economic development, despite the many resources and potential that this country has.
However, Venezuela is also one of the most bio diverse countries on our planet. This is something that every Venezuelan should be proud and grateful, as not only this country has many potential industries and resources to be awakened, but it is also blessed with such biodiversity. Unfortunately, the environment has not been on the Venezuelan government’s agenda, and this beautiful country’s ecosystem is being threatened by the heavy industrial development without regards for the environment. The rainforests of Venezuela are endangered at a fast speed and many areas are now permanently destroyed. Industries such as mining, oil extraction, and logging are some of the culprits. The exploitation of these industries has taken priority with disregard for the environment in this ecologically blessed country.
With the now focus on exploitation of Natural gas, the Amazon, and the waterways are endangered, with pollution of the waterways being a concern of many environmentalists. Environmentalists consider the electricity project, which will connect with Brazil, another ecological disaster that will affect the environment in a big way. Some of these treats are government projects while others are illegal, not government sanctioned, but happening anyway.
If the government of Venezuela takes an active role in protecting the environment along with all the ecological resources of the country, it will become one of the most prosperous nations to marry the exploitation of resources and industry with the conservation of the ecological balance on the planet – this will certainly make this country a leader worldwide.

The typical medical uniform in Venezuela is one in which the person can find almost anywhere in the advanced world. However, for many doctor offices and hospitals that are in the world, they have strict restrictions on just what the uniform is like. For example, most of these are going to requires that doctors and nurses wear scrubs. This is done in a way to let patients know just who is who in the building. For doctors, they may require that a certain color of scrubs be worn along with a lab coat. Nurses may have no restrictions on color yet they cannot wear the lab coat since they are just a nurse.
For many places in which doctors and nurses work, they simply demand that they wear scrubs. Yet, they give them the creative opportunity to choose whatever type of scrub that they want, as well as choosing the designs and the like. This means that the person can have much more opportunities to show their personal side and the like. Something that most medical professionals are eager to find in a workplace.
As part of the medical work uniform, not only are scrubs mandatory, but certain types of shoes are also mandatory. In most cases, the nurses are required to wear some type of athletic shoe, in order to ensure that they can get around quickly and the like. The shoe type that the person wears is determined by the place in which they work. However, in most cases, they simply allow any type of athletic shoe to be worn. Other place may require that people wear white tennis shoes with no writing on them.

Venezuela, along with its President Hugo Chavez has been a topic of discussion lately. Especially, due to his approach to revamp and take control of the many industries of Venezuela which have lots of potential, but have been dormant for most. This due to the first priority that the Venezuela government has put in the development of the oil industry. Venezuela is rich in oil and in exports most of petroleum, crude. However, it also has a strong industry in the refining of oil. This has been the main focus of the government of Venezuela as far as industry development and growth of this country. It seems that the government is trying to revitalize the other dormant industries and promote growth of other industries such as manufacturing, steel, automobile assembly, shipbuilding, metal, ore, whiskey, water, and natural gas. This last one, being a big reserve in Venezuela, however, not yet developed.
The President of Venezuela has nationalized many industries including the steel industry, the cement industry, the electricity and telecommunications industries as well. This move has been criticized as we all know that the nationalization of industries were the government has the majority of shares or input is considered a dangerous zone for any country to be in. However, Venezuela government will benefit monetarily with having control of these industries and maybe some growth in other areas will occur. This is something for the world to watch, and for the people of Venezuela to strive for in the near future. Venezuela industry is influenced heavily by politics, and although this country has many resources and is rich in many areas, it must learn to deal with its internal affairs, and then, with its international affairs to be able to obtain the growth and development that its people want.
Venezuela has much potential, but this potential is closely tied to its political development as well. The world will be watching for this oil giant to tie its loose ends and turn into a rich and prosperous country.

Venezuela has been a topic of interest with the recent oil demands and the many oil related conflicts worldwide. Venezuela is rich in oil, and it exports its oil in crude form mostly, but the refining of oil is also a major industry in this country. The oil industry has taken over and more developed in the country then other domestic industries, which may have seen neglected for a while. However, Venezuela government is catching up on that fact and is now encouraging the development of many domestic industries. This is being done by encouraging diversifying and by putting many tax exemptions to promote this growth.
Industries such as manufacturing are starting to grow. The steel industry is another industry with much potential as well as the other metals such as aluminum; being that at one point Venezuela had the largest aluminum smelting capacity in the region of Latin America. Other industries of Venezuela are automotive parts, the assembly of automobiles, shipbuilding, and the manufacture of fertilizers. Other industries that are showing much potential for this country are chemicals, whiskey, water, and natural gas. Venezuela has a large reserve of natural gas, but it is underexploited.
However, the government of Venezuela seems to have taken an interest in the other industries and is trying to relocate resources to best promote the exploitation and growth of these industries. It is relocating industries to cities and trying to jump start many sectors. Politics in Venezuela determine in much part the development of this country in the industrial sector. Much of the future of many of these industries with much potential will be determined on how Venezuela continues to do in the political arena and how the country learns to deal with its internal affairs, as well as international affairs. There is much potential for this rich in reserves country, but hardly developed in many of these areas. At this point, the future of the industry of Venezuela looks promising, but that is something to be observed.
