How being bilingual can boost your career
Whether you’re fresh out of college or a seasoned executive, insiders agree that fluency in a second language can not only help you stand out among prospective employers, it can also open doors to opportunities that those without foreign language skills might miss.
In today’s global economy, the ability to communicate in another language has become a significant advantage in the workforce. Research has found that people who speak at least one foreign language have an average annual household income that’s $10,000 higher than the household income of those who only speak English. And about 17 percent of those who speak at least one foreign language earn more than $100,000 a year.
A recent survey found that nearly 9 out of 10 headhunters in Europe, Latin America, and Asia say that being at least bilingual is critical for success in today’s business environment. And 66 percent of North American recruiters agreed that being bilingual will be increasingly important in the next 10 years.
“In today’s global economy you really have to understand the way business is done overseas to maximize your potential. A second language equips you for that,” says Alister Wellesley, managing partner of a Connecticut-based recruiting firm. “If you’re doing business overseas, or with someone from overseas, you obtain a certain degree of respect if you’re able to talk in their native language.”
Language skills can also be key for service industries. At the Willard InterContinental Washington, a luxury hotel a few blocks from the White House, a staff of about 570 represents 42 nations, speaking 19 languages. The Willard’s front-of-house employees such as the concierge speak at least two languages. Bilingualism is not an absolute requirement, but it is desirable, according to Wendi Colby, director of human resources.
Workers with skills in a second language may have an edge when it comes to climbing Willard’s professional ladder. “The individual that spoke more languages would have a better chance for a managerial role, whatever the next level would be,” Colby says. “They are able to deal with a wide array of clients, employees.”
So which languages can give you a leg up on the job market? Insiders agree the most popular – and marketable – languages are Spanish, German, French, Italian, Russian and Japanese, with a growing emphasis on Mandarin, given China’s booming economy. So let’s learn Mandarin!
“We see demand from a full range of industries,” says Wellesley. “Actually it depends on which company you’re working for and the country in which they’re located.”

Now check the right sequence:
“O islã, que se encontraria manchado pelo terror de extremistas árabes e iranianos, deveria ser introduzido com uma fisionomia, mas alegre no século XXI, dizem por vezes os turcos. Isso é de se esperar, mas pressupõe que os direitos universais do homem recebam uma clara fundamentação por parte do islamismo e que a questão dos curdos seja resolvida. Os direitos humanos exigem e impõem a igualdade jurídica, tanto de mulheres como também de não-muçulmanos. No tocante a isso, a “Declaração do Cairo sobre os Direitos Humanos no islã”, emitida pelos quarenta estados membros da Organização da Conferência Islâmica, fica atrás da Declaração dos Direitos Humanos das Nações Unidas, de 1948 (também no tocante à integridade corporal).
KÜNG, Hans. Religiões do mundo. Em busca dos pontos comuns. Campinas: Verus Editora, 2004. p. 279.
Hans Küng ressalta a importância de que cada religião pode contribuir na resolução dos grandes problemas da humanidade, contribuindo e somando esforços para o diálogo comum, altero e fraterno. Ao analisar a 2ª maior religião do planeta – e em vertiginosa crescente –, enfatiza a busca das soluções no seio do Islamismo, de suas divisões e das concepções diversas de interpretação do Alcorão.
O texto acima, aborda os seguintes elementos:
“Faz alguns anos, uma frase de Saint-Exupéry foi muito significativa para a minha geração: “Amar, além do encontro de um com o outro, é também olhar juntos na mesma direção”. Para a frente e para mais longe, sem solipsismos. Hoje poderíamos dizer que o que fundamentalmente nos convoca é a salvação do planeta e da pessoa humana.”
TEIXEIRA, Faustino (Org.). O diálogo inter-religioso como afirmação da vida. São Paulo: Paulinas, 1997. p. 23
O trecho acima destaca um elemento importante para a construção de pontos comuns entre as religiões: o diálogo. Entretanto, o texto dá uma outra dimensão, alimentando-se do sonho, mas, no plano concreto, de uma humanidade plena e fraterna.
O texto alude diretamente para a(o):
Ela significa:
“(...) é o processo pelo qual a pessoa humana se insere em sua própria cultura. Uma criança recém-nascida vai aprendendo os comportamentos, os valores e os padrões culturais de seu mundo. Ela se socializa e passa a fazer parte do seu grupo.”
PALEARI, Giorgio. Religiões do povo. Um estudo sobre a enculturação. São Paulo: Ave Maria Edições, 1990. p. 35
A religião é parte da formação de uma cultura, de um grupo social e, por extensão, do indivíduo. Ritos e rituais compõem a identidade do indivíduo num grupo e, dos quais, são transmitidos de geração por geração.
Esse evento é chamado de:
Se observamos as nações mundiais, cada uma delas foi e é influenciada pela religião. Continentes como a África, a Ásia e as Américas concentram um número significativo de fiéis e, no caso africano, tem-se revelado uma forte expansão do Cristianismo.
Entretanto, o continente asiático apresenta uma vasta diversidade religiosa que, em muitos casos, apresentam conflitos entre si.
Sobre a influência da religião nas diversas regiões do planeta, é correto afirmar que:
“Nós somos bons somente quando praticamos a justiça, o amor e respeitamos nossos semelhantes; também é preciso que sejamos bons com os outros seres da criação. A espécie humana tem usado a Terra como se ela lhe pertencesse, quando é a espécie humana que pertence à Terra, pois, se esta for destruída, não haverá outra morada. O futuro da humanidade estará comprometido se continuarmos utilizando os recursos naturais como se fossem inesgotáveis (...). O preço está sendo cada vez mais caro.
Ser bom significa amar e respeitar todos os seres vivos, semelhantes ou não, porque, como nós, também são criaturas de Deus. Isso, claro, exige uma nova mentalidade para o ser humano. Julgando-nos, hoje, no direito de usar tudo para acumular riquezas e poder – isso não é ser bom.”
BERNA, Vilmar. Deus existe? São Paulo: Paulus. p.17.
Considerando o texto podemos afirmar corretamente que:
“(...) é um dos elementos mais conflitivos do pluralismo eclesial, expressando-se basicamente pelo modo como os agentes de pastoral de uma igreja relacionam-se com os fiéis de outra igreja. Suas estratégias são as mais variadas, e vão desde a abordagem direta até tentativas camufladas de cooptação de fiéis.”
WOLFF, Elias. Caminhos do ecumenismo no Brasil. São Paulo: Paulus, 2002. p.59.
O Ecumenismo encontra obstáculos para a sua efetivação. O obstáculo que o texto acima indica é o(a):
“Os budistas são os seguidores de Buda, que mostrou às pessoas como se libertarem do ciclo da morte e reencarnação, alcançando a iluminação. Para esse fim, ele ensinou aos discípulos as Quatro Nobres Verdades e os Oito Caminhos, que combinam ensinamento moral com regras básicas de meditação e concentração.”
WILKINSON, Philip. O livro ilustrado das religiões. São Paulo: Publifolha, 2000. p.55.
As etapas que constituem os Oito Caminhos no Budismo, são respectivamente:
“O novo Ensino Religioso, nas Escolas da Rede Pública, está de acordo com o novo paradigma que está surgindo. A partir das indicações desse novo paradigma, podem-se apontar algumas características que o Ensino Religioso deve levar em conta.”
SILVA. Walmor da. (org.). Ensino Religioso: educação centrada na vida. São Paulo: Paulus, 2004. p. 31.
Acerca da citação acima, compreende-se o desafio do ministério do Ensino Religioso voltado para seis características que visem integrar o todo humano. Essas características são:
“O mundo atual é marcado por muitas crises ecológicas ou ambientais. Temos aí todo um feixe de problemas. Alguns temas estão constantemente nas discussões e na mídia. São problemas como poluição do ar (...), contaminação química das águas por resíduos industriais e esgotos domésticos não tratados.”
SILVA, Walmor da. Ensino Religioso: educação centrada na vida. São Paulo: Paulus, 2004. p. 52.
De acordo com o texto acima, também cabe ao educador religioso a abordagem de temáticas atuais e que, de certa forma, envolvem as mais diversas religiões, como:
