Former president of Chile Ricardo Lagos Escobar and Óscar Andrés Cardinal Rodríguez Maradiaga of Honduras, president of the international organization Caritas, will speak about development and environmental protection in Latin America.

Ricardo Lagos Escobar’s lecture on the correlations between social inequality, export-oriented economics and institutional reform in Latin America will take place on Sunday, December 4th at 18:00 o’clock. The role of education and participation of social mobility and sustainable development will receive special focus.

So now the latin american farmers can’t compete, so they lose their farming jobs and come up north to our country for work.
So it’s NAFTA’s fault and we blame the Mexicans. We could just revise our agricultural policy, but no, we have to defend our dumb corn policy with an even dumber plan "Let’s build a wall to keep out the Mexicans and abridge our own civil liberties just to prove a point yeehah!"

Doesn’t anyone get it? If we become a police state, and maintain this stupid corn policy, for what little it is worth considering how it is a risk to our national security directly and indirectly through the destabilization of Latin countries, Maybe Mexico et al won’t want to be our friends anymore: Maybe they’ll drop out of NAFTA, Set up protectionism and stop buying our corn, and we’ll be the ones getting the shaft in the end. If we don’t revise NAFTA, and somehow expect Mexico/Guatemala/Ecuador etc.to take care of its own problems to keep the illegal aliens from flowing in, it’ll hurt us badly! Wake up and smell the coffee.

I know a lot of racists dittoheads on yahoo answers have trouble with words with multiple consonants such as "Unconstitutional" and "Protectionist Policies" but seriously, in your own best interests, consider why Latin America’s problems are so bad that Immigrants want to come to our country of all places. I don’t think an Iron Curtain, or a Berlin wall, or fascist policies of racial profiling have worked before, so why would they work now?
don’t forget, the more we screw over the latin countries, the more vulnerable they are to dictatorships, juntas and druglords. Hint: that’s not good for us. We’re not invincible.

Your reasoning makes sense. Agriculture is a highly subsidized industry in the US. If Mexico can grow its own food, it doesn’t have to rely on imports (which requires money), and more importantly, they won’t seek to make money through drug trade. Without drugs, there wouldn’t be violence or cartels. Without violence or cartels, the kids would not grow up to be potential killers as adults.

However, farmers are a very powerful lobbying force in America. It would be very difficult to cut subsidization to agriculture. Any bill relating to agriculture must be voted on by the Committee of Agriculture before it is sent to Congress. The committee would never allow a cut in government funding to agriculture just for the sake of giving Mexico a chance to compete. They would fight it on the grounds that the US must make sure it can always feed itself, that a basic necessity such as food shouldn’t be relied on foreign countries for. It would never even reach Congress.

La importancia en la gestualidad que tiene un político a la hora de dar su mensaje hacia el público revela aspectos muy importantes de su personalidad. El análisis de la comunicación no verbal de los líderes es una de las materias fundamentales a estudiar en el marketing político ya que se transforma en un componente primordial de su perfil.

Obviamente no todo es arte de magia; el marketing político no puede hacerlo todo y hay cualidades innatas propias de las personalidades de cada ser humano. Sin embargo, existen características que se pueden explotar más profundamente para favorecer a un candidato político: posturas, gestos, ademanes y expresiones. Estas influyen benévolamente o negativamente y en forma inmediata en las personas que perciben sensaciones disímiles de acuerdo al político que tengan enfrente, resultándole más o menos carismático.

El lenguaje corporal revela muchos sentimientos íntimos, ya sea que tengamos la intención de revelarlos o no. Desde el simple contacto visual a un ligero toque en la pierna, los gestos corporales son una forma muy directa de comunicación.

Es imposible para los seres humanos no comunicar sus más íntimos pensamientos. En muchos casos el lenguaje corporal, contacto visual y los gestos sexuales son más efectivos que la comunicación verbal. Aprender a interpretar el lenguaje corporal puede ayudarnos a discernir lo que la gente realmente está diciendo.

Los gestos, las caras y el movimiento del cuerpo suponen el 93% de la comunicación, sólo un 7% del entendimiento deriva de las palabras. Los expertos en el lenguaje no verbal nos cuentan los momentos más icónicos de la historia, desde el mundo de deportes hasta el de las celebridades. Analizan su lenguaje corporal para descifrar lo que realmente querían decir estos famosos personajes. Veremos cómo el movimiento más sutil se puede utilizar para influir en las masas y establecer el poder y, la mayoría de las veces, sin que nadie se de cuenta.

Cross-border coordination of drug policy and enforcement is likely to continue to dominate the U.S.-Latin America security agenda, O’Neil says. “The United States is the largest consuming market for illegal drugs, and the vast majority of those drugs come from Latin America,” she says. “This is an issue that concerns the United States and obviously the countries in which they operate. This issue can only be approached as a regional solution.”

A “fundamental transformation” in immigration trends may provide the president an opportunity to reform U.S. immigration policy, says O’Neil. “In the last year, in particular for Mexico, what we’ve seen is what people call a ‘net-zero’ flow of migrants” into the United States, meaning that “the same number of people that are coming in are going out,” she says.

As U.S. economic recovery woes continue, Latin America may also present new export opportunities for the United States, O’Neil says. “Latin America has over 600 million consumers ready for U.S. goods and more and more are rising to the middle class, increasing their purchasing power, which can prove beneficial to the U.S.,” she says. To take advantage of this, O’Neil stresses, the winner of the 2012 U.S. presidential race will have to work to deepen ties with Latin American countries.
