I understand that you may have heard some views, but I would like to remind that it is an inaccurate stereotype to describe South American culture as a whole as "barbaric." South America is rich in diverse cultural traditions and history, including great ancient civilizations such as the Inca and Maya. Regarding the development situation, South American countries do have various socio-economic challenges, such as the gap between rich and poor in some regions and political instability. However, many South American countries also have well-developed urban centers, modern infrastructure, and an active cultural and artistic life. The level of development varies between countries, for example, Chile, Argentina and Uruguay perform better on certain development indicators. When understanding a region, it is important to avoid simplistic perceptions, but to recognize its complexity and diversity.
