Introduction Both Colombia as a country and the whole Colombian ethnic group each have a slew of stereotypes to conquer when dealing with other culture groups. One of the more popular and beautiful cities, Medellin, is often portrayed as a dangerous place to visit—full of drug cartels, kidnappings, and homicides. The popularity of cocaine and the illegal drug trade have both left the uninformed public with the opinion that the citizens of Colombia are all drug fanatics and/or murderers. While strong, united family values exist and there is a solid drive for education shaping the workforce, Colombian culture has remained a relative mystery to the people too nervous to experience Colombia on their own. As tourism to the main cities of Bogota, Cartagena, and Medellin continue to rise, it is important to learn more about what makes the Colombians so exciting and Colombia so attractive.…

For example, population growth in developing countries such as Africa and Asia, is estimated by the United Nations at between 4 and 6%, compared to between 1 and 2% for Europe and North America. World health is improving and consequently life expectancy is increasing; as the global population increases at unprecedented rates, the demand for food is beginning to outweigh supply. Compounding this problem is the fact that like population growth, food production worldwide is imbalanced. Extreme weather, wars and other geopolitical shocks, have resulted in food crises’…
