Analysis Of Nieto's Authoritarian Rule Over Mexico

In both essays on whether or not a dog park should be built in Muscatine, Iowa; both authors make good points. While the first one uses a combination of facts and emotion, the second author mixes some facts and what seems like animosity towards dogs. The first one is a very inviting and interesting article which gives the reader facts as well as connecting on a personal level. The second article seems a little cold and negatively charged.

From what I could tell this book teaches about many things about Mexico such as corruption in the church, abuse of power of the wealthy, and how people view the afterlife. It also shows historical background in terms with the “Revolution” mentioned near the end of the book, and how power “elites” would handle these revolutionaries. One can see the corruption in the church when the Father continues to forgive the Paramo family even though they commit many evils deeds (such as rape, murder) because they offer money to him. His own niece was raped by Miguel Paramo, and when the Father mentioned him to her she told him “I know now that he must be in the deepest pit of hello”, however the father never told her that he pardoned Miguel (pg. 28).

Children are taught at a young age learning the three branches of the United States and how well they work however Mexico’s government is very similar to the US. Mexico’s government is a lot more developed than you might think; it has a good structure with three branches also called Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches.

But, another extremely important event occurred in 1821 which strongly affected events in Texas when Mexico gained independence from Spain and declared itself a constitutional monarchy. In 1823, the government of Mexico underwent further change when it became a republic. Both changes in government caused delays for Stephen F. Austin, but he persevered and with some political help from Baron de Bastrop, the Old Three Hundred received their land grants in Texas. Similarly, as early as 1822, Green DeWitt petitioned the Mexican government for permission to settle four hundred families in Texas but was initially turned down. Stephen F. Austin and Baron de Bastrop used their influence with the Mexican authorities and De Witt received his colony in

From the Institutional Revolutionary party (PRI) to the National Action Party (PAN) to the Party of Democratic Revolution (PRD), Mexico has had many political parties in the past and present but many have questioned the fact that how has PRI manage to stay in power and maintain its place as the dominant party in the past. In this short research paper I am going to be talking about Partido Revolucionario Institutional (PRI) and Mexico. I want to discuss the history of PRI and how it came about during and after the Mexican Revolution. I will also touch upon the party’s weaknesses and precursors that might have signaled its loss in the elections of 2000.

The effects of NAFTA on Mexico, U.S, and their economic situation have impacts on political interests. There was main objective of Mexico in pursuing free trade area with the United States or with other countries to stabilize the Mexican economy in sustainable way and promote economic development by attracting huge foreign direct investment means of increasing exports, in house manufacturing and creating jobs. NAFTA would improve investor confidence in Mexico has directly impact to increase export diversification, create job market increase wage rates, reduce poverty, improve standard of living, quality and economic growth

The Spaniards made what we now know as Mexico into a racially segregated country, where the Europeans had priority in the casta. The white Caudillos were at the top of the pyramid, while the middle class, and then the Mexican Campesinos and the Mestizos were on the bottom. Each group of people worked against each other to try and distinguish themselves from another group. After Mexico gained its independence and the colonials went back to Spain, Mexico had to find a way to function as a country on their own. Society, let alone a democracy would not continue to work if all the racial groups continued to fight against each other. The different groups needed to learn to work together, which is what complicated Mexico forming a democracy. Colonial, racial, religious, and economic legacies served as roadblocks to Mexico’s independence and ability to establish a lasting democracy, because Mexicans could no longer compete against one another like they did under Spanish rule.

This has been a topic of discussion on the CB radio every since I can remember. The talk usually consists of the displeasure of the Mexican trucks, Canadian also, that cross our borders every day conducting commercial trade.

Throughout its history Mexico has had many revolutions. The most famous perhaps is the Mexican Revolution from 1910-1920. The people of Mexico were getting tired of the dictator rule of President Porfino Diaz. People of all classes were fighting in the revolution. The middle and upper classes were dissatisfied with the President’s ways. The lower and working class people had many factors such as poor working conditions, inflation, inferior housing, low wages, and deficient social services. Within the classes everyone was fighting; men, women, and children all contributed to the fight for freedom from Diaz (Baxman 2). This revolution proved to be the rise and fall of many leaders.

The end of the war between Mexicans and America marked a new beginning as it became possible for Mexicans to get land in Texas. The process of allocating land to Mexicans was through a treaty signed in a bid to end the war. The government appointed a land commissioner upon which several title deeds were supplied. The Mexican government made it clear to Austin on his responsibility to settle three hundred Catholic families along the Brazos River. The problem that arose later on, however, is the increased rebellion from new settlers in the land (Lyles, 2015). The emergence of rebellion pushed the Mexican government to seek ways of quelling future rebellions. The military played a key role in reducing immigration into the unoccupied lands.

Why is it that some countries are classified as developed and others not? What is the criteria used to determine this? Some people believe that within the criteria to evaluate a country’s development, democracy and economic development must be taken into consideration, and that a link exists between them. Democracy can be defined as a form of government in which people choose their leaders by voting, it also implies equal rights and treatment. (Merriam Webster n.d.) By the other hand, economic development can be defined as the progress in an economy referring to an improvement of living standards, the adoption of new technologies and the transition form an agricultural to an industrial based economy. (Business Dictionary n.d.)

As once put by Mexican Nobel laureate Octavio Paz, Mexico is a land of “super-imposed pasts” (McCormick, p.326). It continues to be and is seen as a melding pot of its European and Native American ideas about society, law and government. Its history has had a major influence on the political culture of Mexico, seen through years of revolution, violence and corruption. Mexico is a considered a new democracy, but there is a tension still seen between democracy and authoritarianism. The country we see today has impressive growth yet is still enduring poverty. It’s a geographically diverse country, with a population of approximately 106million people. Latin American political culture is seen as “elitist,

The first elements Zuloaga points out is that “the protection of the Mexican cultural industry never came up”. (Zuolaga,2001) Indeed, the NAFTA agreements made between major world powers, it is expected that many will question the validity of these agreements on an equality scale for Mexico, known as a weak country on many levels.
