Language Problems

I think that the language is the biggest problem to the immigrants, specially if they go to countries that the language is totally diferent from their origin country.

It would be much better if the languages were all the same. The kids have much more facility to learn faster the another languages but adults can't because they are accustomed to their language.

Some years ago a project were in devolopment to "build" a international language but it failed.

Child Slavery

Child slavery consists in the selling of children (to work or to go to war) by their parents, just to achieve money. UNICEF, considers all forms of child labor working under 12 years of age, in any economic activities, all work between 12 and 14 years than light work and all work below the age of 18 supported by the ILO in the worst forms of child labor.

Portugal was a country that has contributed for the end of this crime. It launched a children's book and a CD called "Infância Roubada" where actors and journalists sang the hymn "Filhos do Coração". The purchase of the cd gave half of its value to help to save children from child slavery and most of the people in Portugal was sensitized and bought it.

This is the proof that even a small country can make a big difference!

This video gives us an idea of how serious child slavery is...

Multiculturalism

The term multiculturalism generally refer to an applied ideology of racial, cultural and ethnic diversity within the demographics of a specified place, usually at the scale of an organization such as a school, business, neighborhood, city or nation.

The biggest fun in our lives is that everyone is diferent and we MUST respect everyone even if they are from other countries ou cultures.

Xenophobia

Xenophobia is an intense dislike and/or fear of people from other countries. It comes from the Greek and it's typically used to describe a fear or dislike of foreigners or of people significantly different from oneself.As with all phobias, a xenophobic person is aware of the fear, and therefore has to genuinely think or believe at some level that the target is in fact a foreigner. This arguably separates xenophobia from racism and ordinary prejudice in that someone of a different race does not necessarily have to be of a different nationality.

People don't need to be afraid...

Xenophobia main problems

For xenophobia there are two main problems:

- The first is a population group present within a society that is not considered part of that society. Often they are recent immigrants, but xenophobia may be directed against a group which has been present for centuries. This form of xenophobia can elicit or facilitate hostile and violent reactions.

- The second form of xenophobia is primarily cultural, and the objects of the phobia are cultural elements which are considered alien. All cultures are subject to external influences, but cultural xenophobia is often narrowly directed, for instance at foreign loan words in a national language. It rarely leads to aggression against individual persons, but can result in political campaigns for cultural or linguistic purification.
