“In the Mexico we want; there is no room for corruption, for cover-ups, and least of all for impunity.” On December 1 2012, in the country of Mexico, a new president entered the office. Upon being inaugurated, Enrique Peña Nieto vowed to increase welfare in Mexico as well as terminate drug cartels throughout the country. Although well-known for divulging scandalous confessions, the current president of Mexico has had both positive and negative influences on the citizens of the Spanish-speaking country, from his meritorious effort at capturing notorious drug dealer “El Chapo”, to the unmitigated crowds protesting his negligence when 43 students go missing.
The future president of Mexico was born on July 20 1966 In Atlacomulco. He was born

While studying law, he became affiliated with the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), Mexico’s top political party. He worked as a delegate for the Organization and Citizen Front (OCF) and also as the chief of staff for the Secretary of Economic Development. After being administration secretary for Mexico (2000-2002) and congressman (2003-2004), he ran for governor and was sworn in on February 12, 2005. Incidentally, he ran for president in 2012, and won with 38% of the vote. His largest contributions as president of Mexico have been the reduction of drug cartels and the deregulation of Mexico’s energy industry. As a matter of fact, Peña Nieto was widely acknowledged for sending a team of skilled Mexican marines to capture the infamous drug dealer, Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman Loera. Ironically, the flagrant criminal somehow managed to escape from the maximum-security prison he was being held at, undermining the inadequacy of Peña Nieto’s presidency. Despite his continual efforts to reduce drug cartels, illegal drug dealing continues to be a disruptive problem in Mexico. His approval ratings are lower than Donald Trump’s, and many Mexican citizens consider him to be a corrupt

The arrest of Joaquin ‘El Chapo’ Guzman was a victorious circumstance for the Mexican government, who have been closing down on his presence for the recent past years. Mexican authorities began taking down high ranked members of the Sinaloa Cartel including two of Guzman’s main associates. On February 22, 2014, the world’s most wanted man had also been captured. Although the biggest drug lord has been captured, the crime and violence left behind cannot be forgotten.
“To understand this sentiment, consider the fact that out of the 120.8 million people who call Mexico home, over half—52.3 percent, or roughly over 63 million—live at or below the country’s poverty line. Couple that with a declining confidence in government (only one third of all Mexicans trust elected officials), and you create a window for the population to turn elsewhere for role models” (Martinez). A large part of mexico lives in poverty because the lack of job opportunities the government offers to the people. In a letter written to explain why they marched in favor of El Chapo explain how Guzman helps people get jobs “El Chapo and the drug trade provide employment opportunities that pay well. A dream come true, in places where the government does not lend a helping hand”(Rueda). The drug business creates many jobs for people to survive in such a corrupt country that cannot provide enough jobs.“That drugs destroy. Unfortunately, as I said, where I grew up there was no other way and there still isn’t a way to survive, no way to work in our economy to be able to make a living”(Somaiya) El Chapo told Pen in his interview as Somaiya explains. El Chapo began working in the drug business at a young age. His family's poverty is what made Guzman join the cartels. Guzman started from the bottom and worked his way up. Now he is incharge of the Sinaloa cartel and is a very rich man. Altho he is in jail he has managed

The changes in key government leadership positions have had significant implications on Mexico 's drug trade business (Lupsha 1995). Take the example of one of Mexico 's leading drug traffickers, Juan Garcia Abrego who is widely known as the inventor of Mexican drug trafficking. Abrego 's drug smuggling operations flourished under former President Salina 's administration. When former President Zedillo entered office in December of 1994, Abrego lost the high-level protection provided under the former President Salina. Without this level of protection, Abregos influence in the drug trade industry decreased dramatically to the point of bankruptcy, in a traditional business sense. During this transformation, other well-connected cartels gained uncontested access to large drug trafficking corridors once controlled by Abrego. Despite Abregos deteriorating drug influence in Mexico, President Zedillo put a large bounty on him, making Abrego the most wanted drug smuggler in Mexico. Nevertheless, Abrego 's eventual capture was highly celebrated by the United States as a sign of Mexico 's increasing efforts and dedication to the elimination of illicit drug smuggling operations. In my opinion the example of Abrego 's lost influence and highly celebrated capture directly relates to the politic rhetoric and corruption that is associated with
In the Shadow of the Mexican Revolution by Hector Aquilar Camin and Lorenzo Meyer tells a chronological story of contemporary Mexico from the fall of Porfirio Diaz in 1910 to the July elections in 1989. The time period that Camin and Meyer portray in Mexico is one of corruption, civil war, and failure. While Mexico would undergo an era described as the “Mexican Miracle” where the Mexican country would begin to see a positive output in the country, it would be short-lived and Mexico would continue to fall behind as other countries progressed. While In the Shadow of the Mexican Revolution is comprised of facts throughout history, one cannot help but feel a sense of sympathy for Mexico. While their corruption, political, and economical,
Thesis Statement: How Joaquín Guzmán Loera became a mythical figure in Mexico, both a narco folk hero and a villain
During the Mexican Revolution there were many prominent figures that emerged during the long struggle. Some of the figures had a positive impact on the region, and some others a very negative impact on the people of Mexico and their quest for an uncorrupted government. One figure that stands out in the border region between Mexico and The United States during this time is General Francisco “Pancho” Villa. To understand Pancho Villa’s significant role during this uprising it is important to understand who Villa was prior to the revolution, and what acts lead to his rise to power.
Introduction Accounting is divided into three major areas: financial accounting, managerial accounting and cost accounting. Each big organisation like the NHS has several costs and to ensure efficiency a breakdown of these is necessary. The breakdown will lead to indirect and direct costs. In this essay we are going to look at managerial accounting inside of the NHS.
inventions that seem to be forever changing is technology. More specific, automobile technologies. For instance, the Ford Model T when created in 1908, was mostly a metal shell with the basic controls for movement with no other technology. Throughout the years there were conveniences such as air conditioning, heaters, radio, and power windows and power locks. Nowadays it seems automakers are more concerned in technology than anything else. These technologies now range from accident avoidance systems to even wireless internet, but at what point do we say it has gone too far? I believe these technologies have already gotten out of control. There just seems to be more distractions being created than being taken away.
