The Quality of Life of Latin Americans in New Zealand and globally. A Literature review

By: Alfredo Jose Lopez Severiche

Literature Review from the year 2022 in the subject Sociology - Politics, Majorities, Minorities, grade: 10, Auckland University of Technology, language: English, abstract: This review analyses the theoretical concept of quality of life in light of the existing literature on this topic. It describes quality of life as seen from Latin American migrants' perceptions and the factors impacting the quality of life for migrant and refugees not only in New Zealand but worldwide as well. Finally, this review explores the complexity of migrant and refugee status from the political, cultural, social and economic perspectives associated with their quality of life. Extensive research on the settlement and experiences of refugees and immigrants has been conducted in New Zealand and globally. Nevertheless, there is a significant gap in the research related to Latin American migrants and refugees in New Zealand and their perception of quality of life. Although, some postgraduate studies have been conducted, those studies are based on the stories and experiences of Latin American immigrants and refugees as two different groups. For example, the first research with Latin Americans in New Zealand was conducted in 1996 by Barnard (1996), on "Chilean refugee women's experiences in reconstructing their lives around a future in New Zealand". The most recent study on Latin American people in New Zealand was conducted in 2019 by Nodesco (2019), about exploring the motivations of Argentinean women to embark on a self-initiated expatriation to New Zealand.

Collaborative teams as the key to achieving successful projects

By: Alfredo Lopez

Essay from the year 2016 in the subject Sociology - Communication, grade: B+, UNITEC New Zealand, language: English, abstract: This essay will demonstrate the role of collaborative teams for the successful planning and execution of projects. Nowadays most companies around the globe implement projects to achieve their business goals. To achieve those successful business projects, however, it is necessary to have teams in the company. In the United States, for example, the majority of companies are using teams in their projects, regardless of whether the organisation is small or large. Furthermore, some surveys and researches have shown that the most important organisations in America are implementing the use of teams, for this reason it is common that 50 per cent of their workers are part of a team. The complexity and scale of some business projects requires to be executed by qualified personnel who need to form a team that can be able to successfully run these projects. On the other hand, the simple fact of having a team does not automatically guarantee the success of the project, there are many factors to take into account to achieve success, which is why it is essential to have a collaborative team.

The discourses of development. Mechanism of power and control?

By: Alfredo Lopez

Essay from the year 2018 in the subject Politics - Topic: Development Politics, grade: 2,3, Massey University, New Zealand, language: English, abstract: The essay describes three important aspects of development: development theories that have not contributed to the international development, other concepts about development and benefits and drawbacks of modern development. Finally, a summary of this essay is presented. Despite all the existing development discourses and although hundreds of institutions work for the development of the third world, it has not been possible to free vulnerable people from poverty, hunger, unemployment and social inequality. In fact, Escobar, suggests that discourses of development serve as a mechanism of intervention and domination of the third world. Thus, this essay responds to the next question: are the discourses of development a mechanism of power and control used by the first world to keep their domination over the third world?

Extreme poverty among Venezuelan refugees in Colombia? Exploring media perspectives

By: Alfredo Lopez

Master's Thesis from the year 2020 in the subject Sociology - Individual, Groups, Society, grade: B, Massey University, New Zealand, course: Master of International Development, language: English, abstract: This research report focuses on exploring how the media describes the level of poverty among Venezuelan refugees in Colombia. Very little research has been conducted on the poverty experienced by Venezuelan refugees in Colombia. Thus, the purpose of this research is to explore how the media (newspapers) describe the level of poverty and living conditions of Venezuelan refugees in Colombia. This study also aims to explore what the media report about the support given by Colombia to Venezuelan refugees. Furthermore, the research report investigates how the media describe the socio-economic situation of the Venezuelan refugees in Colombia and how poverty impacts their living conditions. The media analysed in this research report suggest that according to the media newly arrived Venezuelan refugees in Colombia face extreme poverty. But the media also suggest that over time these people can improve their living conditions. However, in the process of adaptation in Colombia, these refugees face the economic poverty of Colombia, unemployment, discrimination, health problems and violence experienced by Colombia for 60 years. The media describe these issues as factors that impact the living conditions of these people in Colombia.

Colombian refugees in New Zealand and their resettlement stories

By: Alfredo Lopez

Master's Thesis from the year 2018 in the subject Sociology - Politics, Majorities, Minorities, , course: Master of International Communication, language: English, abstract: This research focuses on Colombian refugees and their resettlement and integration stories in New Zealand. According to New Zealand Immigration, Colombian refugees have been arriving in the country since 2007. By the end of July 2016, New Zealand had 809 Colombian refugees resettled from Ecuador where they were recognised as urban refugees by the Ecuadorian government. An urban refugee is a refugee who lives in an urban area rather than in a refugee camp. It is important to note that in Ecuador there are no refugee camps. Therefore, all refugees in Ecuador are considered as urban refugees. Thousands of Colombians have fled from Colombia to Ecuador because of the armed conflict that the country has faced for almost six decades. Once recognised as refugees in Ecuador, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees makes the recommendation or referral of some refugees to the New Zealand government, for them to be resettled in New Zealand. This research collected the experiences of 13 Colombian refugees in their process of resettlement and integration in New Zealand. The study used a qualitative methodological approach of an oral history methodology (ethnographic- a collection of oral stories). As data collection methods, I have used oral history interviews, a focus group and participants' personal diaries.

Intercultural communication issues faced by the Colombians refugees in Ecuador

By: Alfredo Lopez

Essay from the year 2016 in the subject Communications - Intercultural Communication, grade: 7, UNITEC New Zealand, language: English, abstract: Colombia and Ecuador are two brotherly countries of South America, which share the same colours on their flags, like shields and the same political liberator Simon Bolivar, and the two countries face a very complex problem: Intercultural communication issues created by the refugee crisis. The problem of violence that Colombia has faced for over fifty years by illegal armed groups and the national army forces, has led to thousands of deaths, most of whom were not participants of the conflict plaguing this undeveloped South American country.

Application of Andersons theory of "imagined communities" to the Colombian Diasporas in Ecuador and United States of America

By: Alfredo Lopez

Essay from the year 2016 in the subject Politics - Methods, Research, grade: 7, UNITEC New Zealand, course: Master of International Communication, language: English, abstract: This essay discusses and analyses briefly the theory by Benedict Anderson of "imagined communities" and the theory of "scapes" by Arjun Appadurai. After that, these theories by Anderson and Appadurai will be applied to the Colombian Diasporas in Ecuador and United States of America. Finally, the conclusion of this essay will display a summary of how Colombian Diasporas have created their own identity according to Anderson and Appadurai theories. Nowadays, there are many Diasporas scattered around the world. All of them have their own identity, culture and thoughts. It could be said that Diasporas have been formed by migration of tourists, refugees, expatriates, occasional workers, communities and overseas exile. Although Diasporas differ in culture, beliefs, background and thoughts, all have things in common such as a clear vision of their homeland, their feeling of belongingness to their homeland, their hopefulness to return to their country and their willingness of keeping their cultures and traditions. Due to those reasons, diaspora communities create their own identity which distinguishes them from other Diasporas. But the question is, why diaspora communities create their own identity abroad. Could the ideas of Benedict Anderson and Arjun Appadurai provide a clear explanation of this issue?
