My generalization for Costa Ricans was that a good president is someone who could better the conditions of the country and who know the guidelines to manage the country.
1. What parts of the country would you all like to see change; what could a President do to better the conditions of your country?
2. If you could set guidelines for a president to follow, what would they be?
1. Bueno en mi opinion me encantaria percibir un cambio en el manejo de los recursos economicos de mi pais ya que la pobreza, la falta de buena infraestructura, las crisis economicas que sufren muchas instituciones estatales, van en aumento.
Que sugerencias haria yo para mejorar dicha situacion? Mejorar la recaudacion de impuestos en mi pais definitivamente! es decir, que los ricos paguen como ricos y que los pobres paguen como pobres.
2. puntos a seguir segun mi criterio:
Que mejore la recaudacion de impuestos
Que destine los recursos a los mas necesitados
Que mejore la infraestructura de las carreteras
The Costa Ricans want a president that won't steal money from others. The U.S. students didn't specifically mention this trait. This is interesting because corruption in government offices (and even with other organizations, such as the police) is very common in CR, but not as big of a concern in the states.
Also, the U.S. students had several mentions of trying to reach peace, but the Costa Rican students had less of an emphasis on this. Without an army, and not being at war with other countries, this is much less of a concern for them.
tambien es importante dar la cara por el pais en todo momento,y reconocer si en algun momento ha fallado
