Reflection Paper On UN Simulation

This report provides data on Mexico which includes the economy, geography, its society, and government. It also discusses how Mexico’s economy is becoming orientated toward manufacturing. In addition, it shows that the GDP rate is not growing. The report explores the transnational issues facing the country which are international conflicts, refugees and domestically displaced persons, and drug trafficking. This source will contribute to my final project because it provides facts on the measures I am using to determine the development of a country.

Mexico’s population is rising swiftly with a prediction of 135 million by the year 2051. Mexico’s agricultural output does not meet the needs of a growing populace. A majority of these families can't grow enough to feed their own families. Mexico maintains close to a steady 25% unemployment rate. But those who do work, work for very low earnings , and some families survive on money that their immigrant families send them.

Currently eighty-nine percent of Mexico lives in poverty. The average Mexican worker slaves all day for a pathetic forty pesos. (Mexico Child Link. http://www.mexico-child-link.org/mexico-factfile-statistics.htm). That is two dollars a day in America.

Economic opportunity is probably out of reach in Mexico, but that’s is why Mexican migrants relocate to the U.S. Security plays a big role in the decisions Mexican migrants relocating to the U.S to find better security and better living conditions. The Mexican people migrate to the U.S in masses, because poverty in Mexico hurts everyone they see no progress in staying at home. Mexico has its issue and hard time keeping its people but change is coming slowly but surely. We know now what needs to be done to help Mexico thrive into the next

Mexico is the eleventh most populated country in the world with a $2.2 trillion economy (CIA, 2017). It is also an extremely popular tourist destination for Americans and Europeans alike. Moreover, its people have had the highest average annual hours worked in the world every year for the last three years (OECD, 2017). Despite this, their unemployment rate is estimated to be 3.6% and their underemployment at 25% (CIA, 2017). I am going to expand on this country’s issues with corruption, organized crime, violence, the economy, and how I assess their future will affects us here in the United States.

According to the HIPAA, several laws have been introduced to protect the rights of individuals with regard to accessing their personal information. Proposals such as patient’s having the right to control their personal files while at the same time, medical professionals can have access to pertinent information on a need to know basis. Controlled access gives the patient an opportunity to control disclosure of select information in the Electronic Health Record so that certain information can be available to health providers.

Some background facts about Mexico: The place of advanced Amerindian civilizations, Mexico came under Spanish rule for three centuries before achieving independence early in the 19th century. A devaluation of the peso in late 1994 threw Mexico into economic turmoil, triggering the worst recession in over half a century. The nation continues to make an impressive recovery. Ongoing economic and social concerns include low real wages, underemployment for a large segment of the population, inequitable income

We were four in our group and we were given a scenario of a patient who was having an anaphylactic reaction from bee sting venom. The group agreed that I will be the primary nurse. As the primary nurse, I knew that I had to lead and supervised our group in responding to the emergency situation at hand. Having played the role of a primary nurse in this simulation, I have gained meaningful experience, which I can use in my future nursing practice.

Within the western hemisphere, neighboring countries United States and Mexico have established an interesting relationship since their rise of independence. Within this relationship, several differences appear. These nations have had their fair share of struggles; yet both manage to coexist fairly well. When comparing both of these countries on the basis of commerce, education, and political stability the commonalities, discrepancies, and relationships become evident. As well as, the factors for the mass Mexican immigration to the United States and the harmful effects that result the country of Mexico as a whole.

Mexico, much like the United States, is composed of free states that add up to thirty one in total. The people of Mexico trace their heritage to that of multiple nationalities that range from Native American indigenous to individuals with ancestry to European nations. This fact maybe due to the Spanish conquest of Mexico and the shipment of ethnicities that are not usually endemic to the region making Mexicans what they call “mestizos.” Again like the United States, Mexico has a presidential system with legislative, executive and judicial branches. Differences arise from the length of terms of office such as the President of Mexico is elected for six years with only being able to serve one term instead of the usual four years in office in the United States and the possibility of re-election. Mexico has a bicameral legislature made up of senators and deputies like the president they are prohibited to be re-elected to the same government position but they are able to be put in office for the other opened government positions. For example a deputy may not be elected twice to be a deputy but can be elected to be senator or president of Mexico. In terms of economy Mexico has entered into the North American Free Trade Agreement, NAFTA, a legislation implemented between Mexico, Canada and the United States that removes most tariffs on trade between its members. NAFTA looks to increase trade within all countries involved. Since this trade agreement Mexico has been oriented towards manufacturing becoming United States second largest source for export and the third largest for imports. Though Mexico has made large strides toward becoming a developed nation there remains substantial income inequality that affects the Mexican citizen’s opportunity for getting health care. In an article in the World Health Organization website it describes

Mexico has a poverty rate that’s reported to be around 46.2% between 2012 and 2014 translating into an increase of .07%. During this time, the Mexican Government reported that two million Mexicans slipped into poverty. The poverty level has risen slightly due to access to education, health, clean water and income as the basis of the problem.

Because of Mexico’s large manufacturing industry, the country produces and exports the same amount of goods as all other Latin American countries combined (Amadeo, 2017).

This paper has shown that there is, indeed, a gap in Mexico that needs to be closed. But the reader might wonder, How did this gap come to exist in the first place? There are multiple answers to this, but only the three major possible causes will be explored. The first cause deals with the conditions of the poor citizens. It has been shown that the levels of education, skill, intelligence, health, and race all provide factors for poverty; there is simply not enough access to education, and too few job opportunities. The second possible cause of this has to do with location. Poor areas develop due to a lack of communication and transportation in rural areas. Because of this, the government has no way to provide food and water, health care, or education. People that live there are virtually isolated from the rest of society. The third, and most plausible cause, is the economy and government of Mexico. Institutions interested in decreasing poverty do not have to the chance to do this, because the government fails to carry out sufficient policies to encourage positive development. (The Causes of Poverty in Mexico, Eslbee.com) All three of these causes

Over the past three weeks in the University of Phoenix Marketing Management class, I have completed three simulations based on real life marketing situations. The first simulation was titled, "Forecasting Market Demand." This simulation discussed the importance of determining the future demand for your product in the voice commanded software industry. The marketing team for the new Listensoft software needed to accurately forecast the production capacity of the new product and the pricing strategy. This task is especially difficult because human behavior is difficult to predict. Forecasting behavior "…is about generating numbers out of expectations, opinions, statements, prior patterns and a host of other subjective elements" (Forecasting
