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.
