· That work cannot be done by a local worker.

· They became ambassadors of the culture, the knowledge and the philosophy of the organization.

What is your role towards migrants?

I think that in this globalized world, migrants are not a problem anymore; they used to be because of the differences between cultures, languages, religions, etc. But now a day people do not focus too much on these things, almost everyone respects a lot the different ways people do things.

One of my major dreams as a student of international business is traveling and working in different countries, so I wouldn’t like that in those countries people treat me like a stranger or discriminate me. In this sense I can say that I never do to others what I do not like them to do to me. I respect people’s dreams and happiness.


The presentation:

They brought a guy from China and it was very interesting, because he explained all the differences between Chinese people and the Colombians, I learned a lot of new things about their culture that I did not know, I also liked the way he sees the life here and the comparison that he did, saying that most of the time people in China does not enjoy life at all and that the Colombian people is more relaxed and we can enjoy life in all it ways.

Then their continued with the presentation; First they talked about China (like an introduction), the most important things like the president, the capital city, demographics, kind of government, education, religion and culture.

finally, they give us some tips in order to have good relations and goos business with Chinese people.
