that drugs are bad. This ultimately secures the war-on-drugs mandate. If the war-on-drugs mandate were to be repealed, drug prices would drop significantly which would have severe impacts on the economies of Mexico and the US. While violence rates would also…

My own understanding of La facultad is an instinct reaction that we used for protect ourselves from threat or unknown. For example, people will freak out when they see a person who act wired in the bank because this person look like a suspect robber. When people encounter something or someone that whatever look suspect or unknown to them, their actions would be without unconsciousness. Rios illustrates this concept in "Translating Translation" by the stories that he states in his essay. First…

progressed really quickly. The “narcocorridos” talk about a variety of topics. These are about drug lords, arrests, operations within the mafia, shootouts and betrayals. Corridos have had a negative impact as well in Mexico. The “narcocorridos” talk about different cartels within Mexico. This makes it difficult because it builds controversy with artists and…

Mexico Mission Trip Can one weekend change your whole life? For me one weekend did change my entire life. It was the weekend I went to Imuris, Mexico to an orphanage for a mission trip. Before that trip I was only thinking about myself and was caught up in getting everything that I want. I would have never thought that it would all change after I went on one mission trip. I decided to go to Mexico because my sister had gone on mission trips when she was in high school and I wanted to do the…

The word mestizo is popularly known as a man of mixed race, who is often the offspring of a Spaniard and an American Indian. This simple word brings two unique cultures, two different races, and two different set of values, and merges them together to create a unique and culturally diverse person. Many have heard the word, many have used the word, but did we ever stopped to think about the real social value and controversy this word carries in its meaning? The history of mestizos and mestizaje…

There are even Spanish accounts of what Oñate did to the Indians and he was ultimately exiled from present day New Mexico and sent back to Spain where has was charged and found guilty of excessive cruelty against the indigenous population during his conquest north from Mexico.

have a low unemployment rate of only 4.9%. Their inflation rate is 4%. They also have a GDP of $2.1 trillion. Mexicans have a moderately free economic freedom. Even though Mexico's economy may seem pretty stable they have a big problem with drugs. Mexico is slowly being taken over by mexican drug cartels like El Chapo for example. Just last week the mexican government released data showing some interesting death rates. Between 2007 and 2014 more than 164,000 people died from encounters with the…

With the family surnames of Rasmussen and Anderson it is clear that the beginnings of my Family of Origin are mainly Danish, so describing my family as a taco might be shocking. Both, my family and a taco are structurally cohesive. (Olson, 2000) We have boundaries, yet we aren’t enmeshed. Often the ingredients try to slip out of the tortilla and some ingredients can be eaten without anything added or taken away from them, such as cheese. When each ingredient is included and stays in the taco…
