NORTH KOREA DOCUMENTARY

The documentary was really interesting because it showed part of the reality of NK, by part I refer to the negative intentions of the reporter because he focused all the investigation in the negative side of this country, during the film we could appreciate how repressive and radical this government is, people is not free and they are obligated to do what the dictatorial regime wants, people earn one dollar per month and they are not able to the free use of internet, movies, or tv because everything is filtered and controlled, the civil society sees the dictator as a god thinking that everything that he does is correct, this NK regime claims to be socialist that consist in equality among all, what is weir is that regular people ride bicycles and the elites ride Mercedes Benz, I don't agree with this kind of government because there is not freedom at all and they live in constant fear thanks to a ghost that is going to attack the in anytime making all the citizens paranoids and spiteful; what I can rescue about all this critics is that the 99% of the population know how to write and read, that they are very disciplined and clean.

HOSTILE RECEPTIONS AND INFORMAL ORGS

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NORTH KOREA AND SOUTH KOREA (QUESTION)

After the war between NK and SK, NK stayed communist and SK did not, over the years NK and SK have developed separately from each other.After years of difficulties for SK they have finally emerged as a thriving nation. However NK is sinking further and further into trouble, as they face mass starvation and economic problems; SK has experienced econmic success and christianity, NK has been given starvation and their former leader to worship. The two countries face the most miltarized border in the world.

given NK refusal to join the internatinal community who support religious freedom instead they put their faith in militarism, they are unlikely to find peace

EXPATRIATES AND MIGRATIONS

EXPATRIATES

An expatriate is a person permanent or temporarily residing in a conutry and culture other than that of the person´s upbringing or legal residence.

An expatriate in a company becomes ambassador of te culture, the knowledge and he philosophy of the organization.

Having an expatriate employee is really expensive thats why its possible to talk to an expatriated about quality and not quality; they have to be trustworthy employees and to ave all the support of the organization.

MIGRATION

Population phenomenon in which an individual or groups of individuals move from it´s habitat towards a new location implying permanence in the new place.

Reasons: roads construction, media development, rural economic difficulties, armed conflict, health and education conditions, growth of public administration.

In the case of transnational migrations: polotical social religious and racial persecution, lack of resources, environment conditions, armed conflict

ANSWERING THE QUESTION:

The position to govern towards inmigration should be of undertanding because it is NOBODIES FAULT, in this case we have to be cozy (it could happen to any one), and try to help in any case it could be looking for job alternatives, giving food, clothes, health care etc.

TYPES OF MANAGEMENT

SUMMARY OF THE CLASS:
We saw the different types of management that exist.
Manager as a hero: including the "super power of choice", supposily never makes mistakes in the organization and the manager always gives the money.
Absolute power makes absolute dictators: managers have to take this into consideration because it could crate problems inside the organizations.
Manager as a sex symbol: it happens when some people see that, "power is sexy".
Sacred cows: Do everything they want, and are arrogant.
Wise boss: everyone in the organization thinks hat the boss is the most wisdom person in the world and in the company, but this is not true all the time, this happens when there is a gap or distance between the employee and the boss.
In class there were two presentations: Traditional managen\ment in Brazil was about the types of management that could be authocrathic (unilateral decision, focused on control), the otherone was permissive that is abot freedom or a combination of both types.

WHAT IS A MANAGER TODAY AND WHAT DO YOU THINK A MANAGER SHOULD BE?
I think that today it depends on the type of person (belives, values, behaviour) in every company you can find a lot of types of managers there are permissive ones or autocrathic ones, it depends on the politics of the company; but in my opinion a manager should be a combination of both, a person who let the workers express their ideas and making them feel an importan part of the company but a manager should demonstrate that he is the person with power and should claim respect because it's a high authority in the organization.
