Culture of Mexico

By the looks on the faces of some of the men and women, while they were captured in Mexico, the police had obviously done some terrible things to them. Each and every culture believes that their culture, way of life, values, beliefs, etc. are superior to those around them. Many have the belief that all Latin Americans and Central Americans are of the same nationality and ethnicity- that they’re…

Mexico and United States relations are vastly intertwined however; the major interaction between United States citizens and Mexican immigrants began in 1917. The first bracero program took its form under the Immigration Act of 1917. This act allowed immigrants, under various provisions and expectations, to migrate the United States as laborers in factories, fields, and mining. The Act specifically asked for a tax to be paid for every “alien” who is not traveling with parents and is under the age…

Hispanic Heritage Month: Starting September 15th, and to October 15th our Spanish class celebrated Hispanic Heritage Month. It was an interesting learning experience overall, and it made for some unique days in class that could’ve otherwise been what seemed like days of more paperwork and material to study. (Which isn’t exactly a bad thing either.) There were some things that I enjoyed, but also some things that could’ve been improved upon. So, what about our celebration in class of Hispanic…

the world sees him. In the Mexican state of Sinaloa, Guzman is not always seen as the world’s most wanted drug lord. Many poor residents see him as a folk hero. The Sinaloa Cartel boss made a daring underground escaped from a max security prison in Mexico over the weekend. His flight has Mexican and international authorities livid. But the impoverished inhabitants Sinaloa likely have celebrated the breakout. El Chapo is beloved in poor areas of Sinaloa for giving back. He allegedly invests…

Alma Flor Ada and Francisco Alarcón lives were enriched by two cultures. They both have access to memories of their families, thus their books are born out of real experiences they had. Both authors value the importance of learning from two societies with different traditions and customs. In addition, I found that these two authors see the importance of children heritage and bilingual education. Ada expressed that “knowing two languages has made the world richer for me” (“Alma Flor Ada's…

One of the societies the Europeans encountered were the Aztecs, the last of three great Meso-American Empires, an empire that that made up much of modern-day central Mexico and as far south as Guatemala. Sadly, Spanish adventurers known as conquistadores saw these people as being barbarous and…

Jacob Ashcraft 24 October 2016 Texas Revolution Was Inevitable In one of the first major scholarly works on the Texas Revolution, historian Eugene C. Barker in 1928 described the conflict as a “clash of cultures.” Barker maintained that Anglo-Texans and Mexicans had little in common and, as a result, concluded that the rebellion could not have been avoided. Barker is correct in his statement about war being inevitable. Some believe it was because the Anglo colonists wanted overrun Texas and…

this sort of power because of oppression, Mexico is a valid example of this. Mexico is well known for its sparkling beaches, lively culture, crooked government, and exotic food. It’s government acts aimlessly and without care of the issues surrounding their citizens, in response, this leads them into the arms of the, willing to listen, drug lords. Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán, is internationally seen as a miscreant who murders for money and drugs, but in Mexico he is known for his charisma and…
