Globalization

I think that the one that express better how is globalization is the second paragraph because transnationals doesn’t care about the country in which they operate or even about their employers, they care in the production they can develop. Also the competition between this industries and the poor countries is very difficult because the most powerful industries have the capacity to produce a lot of products in a lowest prices so many other companies may go bankrupt. For example in Limon there´s a lot of transnationals that exports bananas, they overwork the lands, make a lot of contamination and also they treat their employers as animals, the employers don´t have vacations, sometimes they don´t receive all the complete salary, they have to work very hard, sometimes they begin to work at 4 o´clock.. it sounds as a lie but is true and the most unbelievable thing is that is happening in our country.

Fall seven times, get up eight…

I like this proverb because is kind of positive and I think is the way we have to live our life. I understand it as if you think that this is the worst day of your life because maybe you had any problem you have to know that everything in this world have a solution except death, and that you have the capacity of give up and continue because everything  happens for a good reason and you can learn from your bad experiences.

 I don’t have an specific example cause sometimes I have problems (some of them worst than others) and  I think that I’m not going to handle any situation very well, but then I just say to my self that everything will be find.
