Descriptive Essay On Alexa Moreno

Decent Essays
This country is well now as the surrealist place where nothing never happens; And we don’t mean “this is a boring place full of donkeys and cactus and zarapes” we mean “Is there a massacre? Ignore it.” “Someone needs help? Look to the other side” But the phrase which irritates me the most is “We are fine, we could be like the Venezuela but we aren’t, you should considerate yourself lucky.” WHY are we supposed to be that conformist? Can someone tell why is so wrong to want something better? Why your need to compare Mexico with Venezuela when we are both fighting against a power who looks bigger than ourselves? But by the same time we are doing absolutely nothing to make our countries better, we just complain to everything we can and the perfect example is what hit Alexa Moreno.

Because the expectations on her where too high and the score too low the cruel critics raised but not for her performance. The chicanes were all about her body, she was compared to a pig for days; this people went too far visiting her parent’s house in Mexicali, Baja California, to “make a friendly reminder to her parents that her daughter is a useless piece of pork walking.”
This isn’t the first time we have this kind of issues. In Athens 2004 when Ana Gabriela Guevara Espinoza achieved the silver in 400 meters running, the media spend a month scattering the gossip that she was a man due her flat chest, her wide shoulders and her big nose. I do remember when I was a child and my grandmother watched soap operas, there was a horrible commercial of a “miracle product” that announced that you wanted to do any kind of sport you should bought their girly product or you would end up –as ugly, undesired and manly as Ana-.
What kind of heroes can our childhood

    From this knowledge, on can infer that America has the opportunity to become a better country than Mexico, if we were to become more accepting. This doesn’t mean that Mexico is hopeless, instead it could be a more pleasant country to reside if certain cleanup measures were taken.

    Laura Garcia de la Torre does not have a favorite story for her daughter Sandi, unlike the rest of her daughters; and unlike the rest of the daughters, from early on Sandi experiences a sense of unexplainable loss. This elusive quality seems to defy interpretation in its foreshadowing of Sandi’s breakdown in her adult years, and reflects the mysticism around Sandi’s character as a whole. In Julia Alvarez’s novel How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents, the doll figures largely during the pivotal moments in Sandi’s life, whether they are the static representations of the Virgin Mary statue, or a Barbie. In an attempt to pinpoint how Sandi has “invented what [she] needs to survive,” I will argue that during the moments in Sandi’s life where she…

    I believe that Moreno had this dream because she was subconscious about her experience with the gunshot gave her an emotional reaction. To begin, Moreno states, “It was my first GSW and I was very much a rookie at the time, but even I could’ve told the cop to put his notebook away” (605). This quotation shows that when the police officer takes out his notebook to interview the patient. Moreno wished that she could have said something, but she didn’t say anything which she regrets.…

    Even though the three candidates running to for president in Mexico had a fair shot “A sudden computer crash stooped the vote tallying for several days. When the result was announced, Salinas was declared the winner […]. Salinas managed to embezzled millions of dollars from the Mexican treasury to fund other politicians, and drug lords. A president oversees running a country, to see flourish, and defend it against the enemy threats, yet to Mexicans demise, it was in fact housing one of them in their own country, one of their own no less. This is what is wrong with the political system not only in Mexico, but in every country where opposing sides of a body of government decides to protect internal interest rather than the interest of the many.…

    I believe this can be attributed to the different influences of individualistic and collectivist cultures. The documentary alludes to Mexico divided into two parts, one rich and the other poor. This was further complicated by the views of the ruling class knows as the “Cientificos”, this class had an individualistic view that set them apart…

    After reading the entry “Sexuality and Sport” it is argued that sports as a socio-cultural institution is behind the times compared to the rest of western society (Fusco 2011:545). The existence of a variety of different types of sexuality, does not appear to be openly discussed, explained Fusco (2011:545). It is uncommon to hear about an athlete coming out as gay, and there are some theories as to why this is: One theory, Fusco (2011) explains, is called the “conspiracy of silence” where it is assumed, not discussed, that everyone is heterosexual in sport. (545). This assumption creates an unwelcoming environment for athletes to openly identify with their sexuality if it is not heterosexuality.…

    The citizens of this country do not get to practice their right to vote and elect a president they believe will be good for their country, so they do not get to expand their cultural horizon and find out what truly will be good for their country. The crisis in Venezuela has happened in several other South American countries such as Colombia and El Salvador as well. Another example of the government interfering in people’s lives and preventing them from learning who they, as people, truly are is North Korea. North Korea is one of the countries that participates in a dictatorship for a government and has strict laws against what the…
