83. CNN's Soldiers Of Peace, Educational Guide: Activities - Before Viewing What kinds of situations would cause you to risk your own safety to prevent violence? What do your students know about Colombia s geography? http://www.turnerlearning.com/cnn/soldiers/before.html

LOCATOR: home activities ACTIVITIES - Before Viewing What can be learned by studying people's values and beliefs? Students can discover the answer to this question with the following experiment: Download and print enough copies of the Human Rights Ballot for each student to have one. Discuss the meaning of all 12 rights; then have students secretly cast their ballot for the two that are most important to them. Tabulate the results and place the data in the form of percentages. Write the results on the board and have students create a pie chart or bar graph to visually represent the data. Ask the following questions: How many students selected survival rights such as life and peace as opposed to quality of life rights such as education or free expression? Under what circumstances would students be inclined to vote for life and peace above all else? Print, copy and distribute the Children's Mandate for Peace results. Examine the differences between the class results and those of Colombian children. Ask students to infer what the situation in Colombia must be like based on these differences. Below are several quotes from Colombian children involved in the Children's Peace Movement: Children here do not grow up in freedom. They grow up in fear and knowledge of the killing that has happened and continues.... I dream that one day I will wake up and my father will go to work and I will not have the fear that he will be shot. This is the dream I am trying to build, that we are all trying to build. - Farlis, age 17

World Factbook 2000 [B] by the CIA Presented by Auth o rama Public Domain Books Search through book: COLOMBIA Colombia: Introduction Background: Colombia was one of the three countries that emerged from the collapse of Gran Colombia in 1830 (the others being Ecuador and Venezuela). A 40-year insurgent campaign to overthrow the Colombian Government escalated during the 1990s, undergirded in part by funds from the drug trade. Although the violence is deadly and large swaths of the countryside are under guerrilla influence, the movement lacks the military strength or popular support necessary to overthrow the government. While Bogota continues to try to negotiate a settlement, neighboring countries worry about the violence spilling over their borders.

Now with billions of dollars in military aid from the United States, Colombia faces continuing war, with people facing displacement from their communities and rampant human rights abuses. In the midst of this, the Mennonite Church of Colombia is attempting to be a light on a hilltop, preaching and living an alternative of peace, justice, dialogue, and respect. As Mennonites in the United States we want to support the work of the Colombian Mennonite Church. In the summer of 2001, in Nashville, at the request of the Colombian Mennonite Church, MC and GCMC delegates passed a resolution asking our government to halt military aid to Colombia and to provide more social and humanitarian aid instead.

@import url(/styles/standards_menu.css); Store Contact Us Careers ESRI Press Release October 21, 2003 ArcGIS software and ArcCadastre The IGAC is Colombia's national mapping and cadastral agency. It wanted to replace its existing INFOCAM system with a modern one that would provide a comprehensive GIS-based information management solution for the national cadastre. In the first phase of implementation, the new system will be installed in the IGAC headquarters in Bogotá as well as 47 of its local and regional offices. ArcCadastre is a cadastre workflow management software system that is used for capturing, processing, maintaining, and using survey and cadastre information within the ESRI ArcGIS applications environment. It consists of a core ArcGIS software-based product and customer/country-specific extensions. The core product is the basic cadastral software that covers the majority of the functionality that is common to the cadastral workflow of different countries and customers. ArcCadastre is intended as a multipurpose tool for creating and maintaining geographic data with nonspatial data from other databases. The ArcCadastre system is built from the core technology of ESRI’s ArcGIS desktop products and the ArcGIS Survey Analyst extension along with Feature Manipulation Engine (FME) data conversion software from Safe Software. ArcGIS Survey Analyst is a new extension to ArcGIS that includes tools that allow professional surveyors and GIS technicians to work together in an integrated system. Surveyors can use ArcGIS Survey Analyst to store and manage survey measurements collected in electronic or paper field books. GIS technicians can use survey measurements stored with ArcGIS Survey Analyst to incrementally improve their GIS data and evaluate the accuracy of features.

Information Technology in Colombia Software Manufacturing Facts: Distribution! The electronics sector of Colombia is made of approximately 350 small companies with total 1994 sales of US$ 50 million while the software sector is formed by 400 small companies. Colombia has both the location and the experience to offer regional distribution systems and stands poised to make a strong stand in the distribution, service, and support of electronic and software products. ( The geographical dispersement of Colombia's major cities as well as its varied geographical settings have caused local companies to develop highly sophisticated distribution systems. Also, because of the geographical disparity and isolation, extensive service and support options have been made available. People! Colombia has a large pool of engineers who have become known for their problem solving skills and innovative tatics, due in part to the geographical despersement. It is a lack of experience with up and coming technical advancements and complex automation that have caused large multinationals to direct work to foreign engineering firms. With training and experience, however, Colombia has a ready pool of engineers to promote future technology developments. While other countries lack the personnel, Colombia lacks training for its talent pool. By training its workforce, Colombia stands to gain much in future advancements. Colombia's privatization and deregulation to permit foreign entry should further this cause.

Colombia Colombia is: Colombia is the size of Texas and California combined. Its 42 million people make it the third most populous country in Latin America. More than 70% of Colombians live in just 10 cities. Colombia is one of the most ethnically diverse countries in the Western Hemisphere. The country has 85 different ethnic groups, creating a true melting pot of European, indigenous and Afro-Caribbean populations. Indigenous peoples own 24% of the national territory. Colombia has vast mineral and energy resources, which are being explored and developed for economic benefit. Colombia has over 37 billion barrels of oil potential and is currently the largest foreign provider of coal to the United States. Colombia is the fifth largest supplier of foreign oil to the United States. Why are most of the things you hear about Colombia so negative? The truth is that Colombia has "two faces." One is a country of extraordinary natural beauty and hard-working, warm and industrious people – people who succeed at growing some of the world’s finest coffee and fresh flowers, who are renowned artists, writers and musicians. Colombians have created a stable democracy and a strong, growing economy. They have courageously stood up to the violence and terrorism of guerrilla groups and drug traffickers. But Colombia is also a country with problems stemming from a complex and difficult history of violence. Colombia’s troubles can begin to be explained by the vast, underpopulated "frontier land" that characterizes the eastern and southern regions of the country. These are difficult to access and historically there has existed very little, if any, State presence in the form of public institutions, roads, schools and utilities. This creates a breeding ground for the international illegal drug trade that fuels Colombia’s situation today.
