In 1992, sales units in faucet mounts are 3 times more than those in pitchers. It seems that Brita had tried to take the market share from faucet mounts system at first.

The Mexico City Policy, also known by opponents as “The Global Gag Rule”, was originally introduced as an executive order by president Ronald Reagan in 1984. The policy was made to withhold U.S. family planning, funding and assistance from foreign NGOs (non-profits) that include reproductive health organizations and included private hospitals and clinics that perform or publicize abortions. “In countries where abortion is permitted, the policy prohibits health workers at NGOs that receive U.S. funding from offering abortion as an option or referring women to a provider” (PAI).

There was tension between Mexico and America, for land and who owned it. Mexico had given some land to America, but the Americans had assumed they got all of Mexico, but they didn’t so they all went into a big war just because of a misunderstanding. The U.S. was not justified in going to war with Mexico. One reason they didn’t want to fight in the war was because of all the land they could get to expand slavery. Doc D is a speech by Joshua Giddings the date was on May 23, 1846. Doc D says “...he (President Polk) has been guilty in ordering our army to invade a country with which we are at peace, and of provoking and bringing on this war.” This quote is saying that the president

One of the problems between the United States and Mexico was neither country could decide the border. Another problem between these countries was the Mexican War of 1846 led to Mexico losing half of their land to the United States for $15 million. The United States was justified in going to war with Mexico. One reason is Mexican soldiers appeared to invade territory that did not belong to them. Doc B is a message by James Polk, on May 11, 1846, that gives his point of view on which border belonged to what country. Doc B says “Mexico has passed the boundary of the United States, has invaded our territory and shed American blood upon the American soil.” This quote shows that the Mexican soldiers did cross the American border and caused the Americans

How do people feel when something completely biased is not in their favor? When people are specifically targeted against for doing nothing wrong, is a horrible feeling. This is what happens every day to Mexicans. Mexicans are practically hated if they try to come in our country compared to the Canadians we enjoy having. People are shocked with the eye-opening question, “why Mexico and not Canada”. This is not because Mexicans are any worse but because there is a stereotype problem. . . . This is a major problem buried in our country about the unjust discrepancy between the acceptance of Mexican and Canadian Immigrants. . .

The current United States resembles the 16th-18th century Spanish empire because of the large debt, mixed cultures, military focus, and inflation. The United States has accumulated large amounts of debt since the time of the first World War, liken to the Spanish empire who experienced large amounts of debt due to the wars and trade. The United States debt over time has “snow-balled” 19.5 trillion dollars from wars, consequently the current federal debt per person is $60,601. Military is a major focus between the two civilizations, United States and 16th- 18th century Spanish empire. The Spanish conquered the Aztec and Inca through their excellent military lore. The current United States government built a repuatation for the most powerful military

The Maquiladora program has also been an integral part in the rapid growth of the Mexico-U.S. border region. The U.S.-Mexico border separates four U.S. states (California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas) and six Mexican states (Baja California, Sonora, Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo Leon, and Tamaulipas). These are all called the twin cities, although the border politically separates them they share common air sheds and drainage basins. Seventy percent of all Maquiladoras are located in the border region of Mexico. “Over 1,600 Maquiladora plants in the border area employ over 510,000 workers, about half of which are located in the two biggest Mexican border cities of Tijuana and Ciudad Juarez”. There was a 13% growth in Maquiladora employment in the border region, within the interior of Mexico it was actually 28 %. At

Aumentar el volumen de producción y venta, y crecimiento: Cemex tenía necesidad de expandirse globalmente, dado que su mercado doméstico en México es relativamente pequeño y que en 1989, la empresa ya dominaba 2/3 de la capacidad productiva donde le quedaba poco espacio para crecer . Además, la entrada de Holderbank en México al principio de los 90`s le generaba una fuerte presión competitiva, siendo que esa empresa ya tenía una presencia global importante.

Not to say the fact that right now, Corona is not the only Mexican beer present in the Japanese market, now being under direct attack by a series of other Mexican beer that have high marketing budgets. To maintain the position, Export Brands International is forced to pump heavily in the investment marketing budget , much more than the others as Corona must change and reinvent itself. Export Brands International must come with something new trying once again to differentiate as in the beginnings, now being a lot harder.

A long-term strategic management issue for GM is the increasing global competition due to the mergers and acquisitions of its competitors. The partnership of Heineken and FEMSA (Mexico’s second largest beer company in terms of market share) was formed for the sole purpose to dethrone Corona as the best-selling import beer in the United States. To make matters worse, there were also rumours of large mergers and acquisitions of mid-tier brewers in order to better compete and expand globally. In addition, with the introduction of NAFTA, Canadian and U.S. competitors were slowly beginning to penetrate the Mexican market, which had the potential to chip away at the majority market share GM enjoyed.

Mexico is the top trading nation in Latin America and the ninth-largest economy in the world. No country has signed more free trade agreements – 33 in all, including the two biggest markets in the world, the US and the EU. Altogether these signatory countries make up a preferential market of over more than billion consumers. Much of the FDI in Mexico is attracted by the country’s strategic location within the North American Free Trade Agreement, which has positioned it as a springboard to the US and Canada. Other attractions are competitive production costs and a young, skilled workforce, together with political stability and an open economy.

Access to clean water is a basic human right and yet people around the world don’t have that right and they struggle to survive without it. The many uses of clean and potable water include water for drinking to cooking other daily purpose. It is reported that over 1.1 billion people lack access to an improved water resource and three million individuals, and majority of them children, suffer and die from water-related disease.
