About Uribe's successor

The situation in Colombia nowadays, for some of us, is pretty exciting. All this do to great expectations that all colombians has about who is going to be Uribe's successor. This topic really put us in an interesting position because we have to think who will be better for our country, and in this way we have to think in those topics that are the most important for the development of the country; the most important ones are:

• Security (FARC)


• Economics


• Education


• Corruption

About security, the most important topic for some of the candidates, an article of the economist says that the great work doned by uribe should not be forgotten in the past, that the next president of Colombia sholud be one that carries on the same labour i order to achive more and more results in the war against FARC.

Much has been done, but there's a lot more to be done.

Here I give you an image of the article a just told you.

What can they do?

The facts happened in the past to the indigenous popilation of Australia cannot be forgotten in the past, and most importantly cannot be simply solved with an "I'm sorry".
That's why we should think in the answer of this question: what can different organizations & the privates sector do to avoid the abuse of minorities?

And the first thing we should think in order to answer this question isn commitment, commitment from all the private sector and all the companies, because if they are not committed to the cause, all the efforts are in vain. Another step to follow is to create an organization that defend the rights of all minorities, create an organization that would be responsible for fighting for the rights of those minorities who are being neglected by the society. We have to make the world to understand that minorities also belong to the society and in fact they are an essential part of it.

Finally, and most important, is to consider their own culture, this means that we have to let them express themselves freely and not try to adapt them to the culture that has constantly tried to reject them from the world.
