¿Cuáles son los principales prejuicios sobre los inmigrantes que existen en tu país?

Migrante es el término más general para referirse a toda aquella persona que abandona el lugar en que habita o llega a otro destino para establecerse en él.

Con motivo de los flujos migratorios que afectan en la actualidad a millones de personas en todo el mundo, en los medios de comunicación ha surgido la duda sobre la palabra que conviene emplear para referirse a todas ellas de manera general.

A este respecto, cabe señalar que el sustantivo emigrante pone el foco en la persona que abandona su hogar, mientras que inmigrante hace referencia a esa misma persona, pero desde la perspectiva de quien ya ha llegado a su nuevo destino para radicarse en él.

De modo más amplio, el Diccionario de la lengua española define migrante como ‘que migra’, esto es, ‘que se traslada desde el lugar en que habita a otro diferente’, definición general con la que es posible designar a todo aquel que se desplaza de un lugar a otro.

There are some key differences between negotiating in person versus doing so virtually. When meeting face-to-face, it is easier to build rapport and trust with the other party. Seeing someone's facial expressions and body language helps both sides understand the other's perspective. It is also simpler to have informal side conversations that can move the negotiation forward in a more fluid, organic way. However, in-person negotiations require more planning, travel time and costs associated with getting everyone together physically.

Virtual negotiations conducted via videoconference or phone eliminate the need for travel but make establishing rapport more challenging. Without in-person cues it is harder to read another party's reactions and know when to push further on an issue or concede a point. Technical difficulties can also potentially hamper the flow of virtual discussions. However, virtual formats have increased flexibility as negotiators can connect from anywhere at any time based on their schedules. Exchanging revised offers and documents is also simpler digitally.

While building trust is tougher online, maintaining detailed notes and finding ways to personalize virtual interactions such as using video can help overcome some of the impersonal aspects. With practice and the right strategies, negotiators can develop their virtual skills just as effectively as doing deals in a traditional face-to-face setting. Both in-person and virtual negotiations have pros and cons, so understanding these differences can optimize outcomes regardless of format.

Negotiating in Person Versus Virtual Negotiations - EP 38

This story uses words from '2000 Most Common Words in English'. 

It’s five in the evening and the sun is slowly going down. The sky is a warm yellow colour. 

John is a bundle of pasta. He is held together by a paper band. He is sitting on his roof with his 
acoustic guitar on his lap. In front of him is a pen and notepad. 

Ah yes, thinks John. I’ll use an A chord here. That will make the melody so beautiful. 

The bundle of pasta is writing a love song for his dear wife Karren. She is a bowl of Pho. 

John plays his composition and imagines his wife crying because his song is so touching. He sings about the day he met Karren, about how they fell in love, about how they complete each other. 

Suddenly, John stops playing. He takes his notepad, crosses out some words and scribbles some notes. He has a great idea.
 
The day you found me
I was flying blind
Now I see the light
I’m willing to fight
For you

John is happy with his new lyrics. He takes his guitar again and plays his love song from the 
beginning. Then, he hears a beautiful sound. But it’s not coming from his guitar. It’s coming from inside the house. It’s his amazing, lovely wife calling his name.
