Describe About Mexico

Decent Essays
Have you ever tried something new then liked it that's what I did in Mexico. First, When I went to Mexico with my family I went swimming in the ocean near the beach at the resort.The water was really salty and had big waves. If you stood really still long the fish would start to surround you.My family saw a stingray in the water that started to move towards the people and that got me really paranoid about going into the water.

Next, We got hungry and there was a restaurant right above the ocean, so we went up to the restaurant and they gave us are seats with the menu, there was nothing that I liked that was on the menu. There was some pottery and sculptures all around t he restaurant that were really cool. There was an ocean view by the tables

    This week’s readings discusses different aspects of the Mexican war. In “Mexican Views of the Mexican-American War discusses the origin of the war between Mexico and the United States, it states “To explain then in a few words the true origin of the war, it is to say that the insatiable ambition of the United States, favored by our weakness, caused it”, the weakness that it’s referring to is the Mexican government. Like we discussed on Thursday, Mexico has always had a chaotic government that contributed the loss of Mexican land. It can be lead to think that if Mexico had a secure government, the loss of the land wouldn’t have happened. Mariano Otero’s “Considerations Relating to the Political and Social Situation of the Mexican Republic in the Year 1847” relates to the previous reading because he explains the Mexican government and weak army contributed to the loss of…

    History is known to be created only by the victorious, thus what many thought once was the fabric of history is now the remaining threads placed by the needles of conquerors. History can easily be manipulated by people in power, and silence those who were not successful in standing up for themselves. Individuals need to know how history works before analyzing the results; one needs to revise all the sides of history, from the conquerors to those who were the conquered. In this case, the United Statesians (the victorious), Mexicans (the conquered), and the Texans, were the ones who underwrote most in the, western frontiers, manifest destiny, to the Mexican-American war. Their history, though similar, provides different aspects of how present…

    Focusing on a culture can clarify unknown things we are ignorant about. Choosing a new society to evaluate and discuss is very hard because of the cultural diversity in the current world. Also, each culture is unique and distinguished from others in many things. However, Mexican culture is highly intriguing and it is highly affected today by the violent drug Cartels, criminal organizations that deal with narcotics. In addition, Mexico is the main drug supplier for the United States; drug cartels have become increasingly lucrative and militarized, “Most of the adult urban population of Mexico, 10.4% of them (representing 5.2 million people in total) had used illicit substances at some point in their lifetime”.…

    Snapping your fingers can have a different meaning in different countries. In my country which is Mexico, when you snap your fingers to someone it means that you need to hurry up, or do the task that you are doing a little faster. Depending on the situation you are in, the person can take it either like a habitual mannerism or it can be a bad education mannerism. When you snap your fingers to a friend, they normally take it as a habitual mannerism; however, something you cannot do is snap your fingers to your professor. Comparing Mexico to America, I can say that both countries are very similar on this subject.…

    What Is Mexico Realism

    • 2 Pages

    By definition realism believes that “..the beginning and the end of international politics is the individual state in interaction with other states” (Nye, 5). Since realism believes that each state should act according to their best interest, from a realist point of view due to the fact that Mexico’s economy is dependent on the U.S and that the U.S. is known for their strong military, Mexico is in no position to go to war with the United States. Mexico’s best interest is to ensure that the U.S.-Mexico relationship is in good standing in order for their trading agreements to continue without any problems. A realist could say that Mexico decided that it was in their best interest to make the consumption of drugs and the growing of drugs illegal, in the 1900s, because the U.S. was insisting for the prohibition of drugs and Mexico wanted to make sure not to lose U.S. support and…
