Elementos de la Cultura de Argentina Cuando se decide establecer un negocio en otro país se debe tomar en consideración los elementos culturales. Tomando a Argentina como ejemplo y analizando varios de los elementos culturales se puede encontrar que es una cultura muy interesante. El primer elemento cultural a analizarse es la religión. En Argentina el 92 por ciento de la población pertenece a la religión católica. Existen otras religiones como la protestante y la judía pero en todos gozan de libertad para escoger su religión. Además, el estado y la iglesia están completamente separados. La influencia católica está muy presente en Argentina. Aunque la mayoría de los católicos no están envueltos muy activamente con la iglesia, esta influye grandemente en las costumbres sociales y en las celebraciones. El elemento de la economía es otro fundamental. Según la Agencia Central de Inteligencia (2010), la economía de Argentina para el 2009 tenía un producto interno bruto (GDP, por sus siglas en inglés) per cápita de $13,800. Esto representó una disminución de 4.1% ($14.400) en comparación con el 2008 y se distribuye por sector de la siguiente forma: 59.3% servicio, 32.2% industria y 8.5% agricultura. Por otro lado la fuerza trabajadora se compone de 16.38 millones de habitantes, un 40% de la población total (40.9 millones de habitantes). Esta se encuentra dividida en 76% servicio, 23% industria y 1% agricultura según datos del 2008 (ACI, 2010). Para ese mismo año la tasa de desempleo se encontraba en 7.9% pero en el 2009 aumento a 9.6%.
Argentina tiene un balance positivo de su cuenta corriente de $14.43 billones. Esto indica que sus exportaciones están por encima de sus importaciones, un aspecto muy positivo de su economía.
La estructura familiar en Argentina es otro

    • 1331 Words

    Globalization in Argentina has affected the country in numerous ways. There are many positives and negatives. Until 1999 globalization seemed to be the reason the country was so prosperous. Pope John Paul II stated, “From the ethical point of view, can be positive or negative. In fact, there is an economic globalization which brings some positive consequences, as the phenomenon of efficiency and increased production and, with the development of relations between countries in economic, can strengthen the process of unity among peoples and make a better service to the human family. However, if globalization is ruled merely by the laws of the market applied to suit the powerful, leads to negative consequences. Such, for example, the attribution of a va-absolute value to the economy, unemployment, decline and deterioration of public services, destruction of the environment and nature, the widening gap between rich and poor, unfair competition which puts the poor nations in a situation of ever increasing inferiority.” This statement sums up the effects of globalization in Argentina. At first, the country experienced growth and prosperity then fell into an economic crash due to government corruption and now once again the country is trying to recover and crawl out of a recession. Globalization has affected the country socially, economically, and it has created a different culture in which argentines live.…
