Migration Advantages

     Migration is a contentious topic, but for us it has three main advantages. The first advantage is that immigrants do jobs that local people are not willing to take, for example we know of several foreigners in our towns working in agriculture and construction. The second advantage is the cultural integration which increases diversity as the different foods; like “pupusas” from El Salvador and the “nacatamal” from Nicaragua, also the language is enriched because each country has its own forms of expression for example people in Costa Rica use the word “mae” to refer to another person and in  Panama they use “pana”. The most  important advantage for us is the economic aspect, it significantly improves the income of the country, according to a study by CATO Institute which says that migratory legalization will cause $ 180 000 millons in benefits for American families. To sum up, we believe that although migration is a contentious topic it has many advantages which we  agree with.

Globalization of infectious diseases

 

 Migration is closely related with the globalization of infectious diseases. According on an Article Globalization of infectious diseases: The Impact of Migration by Brian Gushulak and Douglas McPherson, of The University of Chicago Press "With up to 20% of the World Population Living Outside of Their country of birth, The Potential Impact of Population Mobility on health and on the use of health services of host migration ITS Nations is Increasing in importance "A year ago the world experienced the consequences of the Swine Flu H1N1,  according to World Health Organization (WHO), the number of cases with this disease was much higher than the 4379.
 There are countries that are much more vulnerable for example, according to Executive Summary - The Globalization of Infectious Disease (1998) "Africa and India Both Population Suffer Significant Losses Each year from infectious and parasitic diseases. Approximately 5 million people in Africa and 2 million people in India - Mostly Children and young adults - Die Each Year Because Of These diseases. Africa and India's 7 million Deaths infectious disease account for 70% of infectious disease Deaths worldwide and 13% of all Deaths worldwide.
Infectious diseases worldwide are caused by many factors one of them is migration of people, it does not respect class or condition that is expected to take all

Committee Organizer

Dear Sir/Madam

First that all, I would like to thank you for these activities

Last Wednesday  I went to two interesting expositions about The Globalization the  topic of the first one is "The impact of verbal logical in the context of globalization" it was exposed by Mr. Federico Gutierrez and Mrs.  Ethel Pasos both are important professionals   of the communication and also are writers.  This exposition was so important because in a globalized world we should communicate correctly.

The second exposition was at 4:00 o’clock the name of that exposition was "The Chance", well in my personal opinion I didn’t like it because it was too boring actually I didn’t understand very much.

For me the biggest speaker was Ethel Pasos. I had more expectative of Federico Gutierrez and the other one but they didn’t are bigger than Ethel.

I hope you will continue with this kind of activities that are so important.

Sincerely,

   Cinthya Villanea

Domestic Violence

Every single person has rights and they have to be, respected. When a person suffers domestic violence its rights are not respected. I know a woman she lives near of my house, her couple is addictive of drugs and alcohol, he hits her every day especially when he is under the influence of drugs and alcohol. She is the mother of three children; for them she prefers to keep the relationship with  her couple, despite of the violence physical and psychological. I think she is a good mother because she is very worried for the education of their children, and they are good guys, also she works a lot because her husband has not work for his problems with drugs and alcohol. It is important that institutions against domestic violence such as in Costa Rica INAMU combat this social problem.
