Compare And Contrast Mexico And Usa

On July 4, 1776. An unprecedented event occurred that will change the world forever. A colony successfully won its own war against their mother nation, and became a newly formed independent country. The idea of nations breaking apart and forming new countries took the world by storm. Soon after, countries residing in Latin America also began to break away from their mother land. By the 1900’s many Latin American countries were form. One of these newly formed nation is Mexico. I will be comparing the American Revolution to the Mexican Revolution The American revolution was fueled by the rage of the colonists in retaliation against the way King George the Third was ruling.

America was unjustified because of the disputed of the territory. (Hook) Texas and Mexicans aren't being far to each other, or not letting one another have an equal part in the territories because Texas and the US believe their border was on Rio but the Mexicans thought theirs was the Nueces River they both want more land than the other causing a fight or a war. (Doc D) They are rude and disrespectful to the Mexicans when they lived in the Mexican territory, Because they think that since they live in mexico and we aren't Mexican we don't have to obey the laws/rules that they have made.Texas and Mexico both want big land masses so they fight over who gets what causing war between the two of them.

There is taxes on food, clothes, electronics, bills, cars, and even on pay checks. On the other hand in Mexico you do not get taxed on anything. Also, they do not have many bills. They only pay for water, electricity, food, cable, and phone every two months. The average house in the US has good flooring, walling, rooms, and doors. Also, the furniture is stable and the lawns have grass. It is alright to live in an average home in the US, and you do not worry that much about your water or hot water running out. The average homes in Mexico are not that appealing. There might be flooring, but it is usually cement. The houses are small about the size of an apartment, sometimes even smaller. Depending on what part of Mexico you live in depends on when you have water. Another big problem is that you have to take approximately 10 minute showers so that you do not waste the hot

America. Schools in Mexico may not have computers like most schools in America do. Some schools in Mexico do not even have access to a cafeteria or school buses.

In regards to the social/cultural approach to nationalism, Gellner states that nationalism is essentially the “general imposition of a high culture on society, where previously low cultures had taken up the lives of the majority”, showing that the culture belonging to one nation is distinct from that which belongs to any other. This also falls into accordance with the ethnosymbolist approach where the nation cannot be properly understood without taking their ethnic lineages into account. When looking at the neighboring states, the United States and Mexico, this is especially true. Examining their colonial roots and the legacies of their independence movements, both were radically different countries “in terms of social conditions, economics, politics and culture”.

The United States of America and Mexico compare and contrast their differences when it comes to education, homeless rates, and their overall standard of living. The U.S and Mexico compare when it comes to homeless rates seeing as the numbers are increasing each year. As for education, Mexico lacks standard education, where as the United States has a higher standard for education. The overall standard of living in both countries is probably the biggest difference the two countries have. Mexico has many prosperous areas to it, but for the most part people who live in Mexico, live poor and on the streets. Children in Mexico usually have to get street jobs in order to help their families with poverty. The United States has its own level of

Mexico is a famous country which is located in the southern part of North America. I went to Cancun in spring 2012. It was an amazing trip. I really enjoyed the nature there. Most of Mexico 's land is covered by mountains, with only about a third of the land being flat. Moreover, there are five main areas in Mexico. The first one is The Central Plateau which is located just south of The United States. It increases in altitude from the north to south from more than 910 m and 2,440 m near the border of United States. Furthermore, approximately half of Mexico 's population live in this area. The second area is Sierra Madres which consists of three mountains ending with V shape near the Plateau edge. These mountains are the Sierra Madre del Sur on the south, the Sierra Madre Occidental on the west, and the Sierra Madre Oriental on the east. The third area is Chiapas Highlands. The land in this area is high and rough, especially near the Pacific Coast. The fourth area is Gulf Coastal Plain. The land in this area is low along with the eastern coast. Near Texas boarder in south, it narrows and almost disappears. The last main area in Mexico is Lower California-Sonoran Desert. This area consists of the peninsula of Lower California and the Sonoran Desert. Another physical feature in Mexico is Water. Most of the rivers in Mexico are short and too shallow for navigation. The third physical feature in Mexico is climate and temperature. The differences

Growing up in a Mexican household means being surrounded by hard working individuals. Many did not have the same opportunities that their children have today, but they have persevered from their hardships, and strive to give their children the experiences that were not offered to them. For example, as a teenager, my mother worked three jobs, and attended night classes to obtain her GED, in order to contribute to the household. To this day, my mother is still a hard worker and passes on her knowledge of the working life to my sister and I. Also, my father worked in the fields, in Mexico for any wage, in order to make sure there was food on the table. He grew up in a family that did not emphasize the value of education, which is why there is

The overall culture I see, is one of confidence, equality, and the pursue of maintaining a comfortable environment fro everyone. The US has many different religions, practices, and people. The people make the US culture acceptable to many. The US is also very fast paced, and outgoing with many events, concerts, and reconstruction of technology and events. Mexico, is very much so based off of family, rather than entertainment like the US is.

The country of Mexico has a rich history full of diverse cultures and many unique traditions; because of this, Mexico has been traditionally among one of the most visited countries in the world. However, when discussing the country there are several concerns that jump to forefront of any conversation. Such concerns include homeland security, immigration, and drug control. Mexico has many pockets of poverty, lack of sufficient health care, quality education, and low unemployment rates. These factors combined will make for a tough living environment, and it is no secret that many Mexicans feel that they have one of two options, resort to crime (gangs and drug cartels), or find a way into the U.S. in search of better opportunities. The succeeding assessment will not only discuss these topics, but also go in depth on how these issues will impact the Mexico and U.S. relationship going forward.

In the early twentieth century, Mexico and Russia both had nationwide issues that led to revolutions that would forever change their countries. While both countries hoped that these revolutions would end in a government that supported and benefitted the working class, the method of revolution and final government outcomes differed. These two countries also faced different ideologies in the early 1900’s. In Russia, the main focus was to end communism which is when the government controls all resources and properties. Meanwhile in Mexico, the main focus was socialism in which the government only controls a part of the resources.

In this discussion I will compare and contrast the GDP per capita of the Mexico and the U.S.A during 1900-2010. According to this graph, in general, the GDP per capita of the U.S.A higher than the GDP per capita of the Mexico between 1900 and 2010.

Mexico City is one of the largest cities by population. It’s in a highland basin called the Valley of Mexico, the valley sits at about 7,000 ft above sea level. The first people to arrive at the Valley of Mexico showed up a couple thousand years ago, back then the valley had a very large amount of big shallow lakes covering its floor. One of the first groups to settle on the islands were known as Aztecs, who live on an island in Lake Texcoco which later became Tenochtitlán. By 1519 when the Spanish arrived Tenochtitlán was one of the biggest cities in the world with a population of more than 200,000 people.

Another reason, Mexico educational system is hurting in several ways. The graduation rates are low in comparison with the United States according to OECD "In Mexico only 36% of adults aged 25-64 have earned the equivalent of a high-school degree, much lower than the OECD average of 74%....44% of 25-34 year-olds have earned the equivalent of a high-school degree...". However "In the United States, 89% of adults aged 25-64 have earned the equivalent of a high-school degree, higher than the OECD average of 74%.... 88% of 25-34 year-olds have earned the equivalent of a high-school degree, also higher than the OECD average of 82%". When looking at the reading literacy scores Mexico scored at 420, the United States scored at 496 a 76 points difference,

Both countries have a judicial review of legislative acts. “Judicial review is a process under which executive and (in some countries) legislative actions are subject to review by the judiciary. The power of courts to assess whether a law is in compliance with the constitution (wiki).” In the U.S., the legal system appears to provide everyone with a fair trail as well as safety and security. This is not what is given to those that reside in Mexico. Like stated before, the main problem in Mexico is the links to government officials and the cartels. Before political officials are voted into office, they should be vetted for ties to the local cartels, and not allowed to serve within the government if they have previously worked with the cartels.
