South America is the southern continent of the Americas, situated entirely in the Western Hemisphere and mostly in the Southern Hemisphere, with a relatively small portion in the Northern Hemisphere. It is bordered on the west by the Pacific Ocean and on the north and east by the Atlantic Ocean; North America and the Caribbean Sea lie to the northwest.

America was named in 1507 by cartographers Martin Waldseemüller and Matthias Ringmann after Amerigo Vespucci, who was the first European to suggest that the newly discovered lands were not India, but a New World unknown to Europeans.

South America has an area of 17,840,000 square kilometers (6,890,000 sq mi), or almost 3.5% of the Earth's surface. As of 2005, its population was estimated at more than 371,090,000. South America ranks fourth in area (after Asia, Africa, and North America) and fifth in population (after Asia, Africa, Europe, and North America).

A. Hello! I lived in South America for a year and I traveled a lot during that time. I got robbed twice. The first time, it was my own fault: I took my camera out in a really poor neighborhood. The second time, I couldn't help it. I was carjacked and taken a hostage for a couple of minutes. Luckily I wasn't harmed in any way. My sister lived in Peru and was never robbed. Her blond friend who lived with her 4 times. I don't mean to scare you, but keep in mind that a lot of things can happen. I can only advice you to carry very very few valuable things or cash... Only what you need. Keep your money on various spots. Some in your pocket, some in your wallet, maybe even some in your shoes... (That's when I did when I carried more than… [cont.]

A. South America is made up of many countries and occupations vary depending on where people live. People who live in cities hold all the same jobs that exist in other cities around the world, from offices to retail stores to restaurants, etc. People who live in the rural areas usually farm and produce crops.
