...Cancun Mexico If it was possible to see 5 years in the future where will Dakota be? Dakota would be hanging out in Cancún, Mexico just sitting back and enjoining life with a dog and maybe a girl friend. The sands are white; the water is blue as the sky as the sun beats down in the everlasting paradise Dakota calls home. Dakota went to medical school to become an E.R doctor. After he got is Bachelor’s degree in medicine .Now he spends his time working on the old boat he bought trying to bring it back to its former glory. When he gets tired of working on that old relic he goes down the coast to his favorite cove to go spear hunting for lobster. Dakota jumps off a rock straight down to the bottom of the cove. When he comes up for air he sees his dog waiting for dinner with a look on his face as if he were stupid. Dakota plops a fish on the rock for his dog to eat. Something that has changed dramatically about Dakotas physical appearance is he is extremely tan now and more built than he used to be back in high school. He is still tall but he is more coordinated than he used to be. Dakota is likely the happiest he has ever been in his life. He’s living life day by day just to get to where he wants to be, in reality he doesn’t know where he wants to be. He is just happy working on his car and boat. Something Dakota thinks about every day is his friends and how he would kill to have them...

...The Yucatan has a very rich history, which led to the success that it has today. It started out being the stronghold of Mayan civilization during the 12th century; however, the Yucatan went through many years of power struggle and war. In 1824 Yucatan became an official Mexican State. Until the mid-1900s, Yucatan’s only contact with the outside world was by sea. As a result, Yucatan’s trade with the United State’s, and the European and Caribbean Islands were far more profitable than that of all other Mexican states. Yucatan was linked to the rest of Mexico by railway in the 1950s and by highway a decade later. In the 1960s, the first commercial jet airplanes arrived in Merida. International airports were built in Cozumel and Cancun in the 1980s,...

...compared to American culture. Is Cancun, Mexico rich in traditional culture or now too Americanized to experience the true meaning of their culture? Traveling to Cancun was the most eye opening experience of my life. Traditional customs and family values of the Mexican people changed my perspective on how I viewed my own traditional American family values. Never traveling out of the United States before I couldn’t hide my excitement and nervousness as the small plane began to descend onto the runway. Dan, my husband having been out of the country a few times before found my excitement to be quite amusing. Grabbing our luggage, my husband and I made our way through customs and headed towards the big glass doors into a seemingly different world. My first thought was how hot and humid the air was in this tropical paradise filled with sweeping palm trees and the salty smell of the ocean breeze. We exchanged our US dollars for Mexican pesos and jumped into a cab headed for the resort we would be vacationing at for the next five days. The cab driver let us out at the entrance to the resort and politely said...

...and Its Advantages in Mexico Regional Integration is described as a process in which states enter into a regional agreement in order to enhance regional cooperation through regional institutions and rules. North American Free Trade Agreement was the removal of barriers between Mexico and the United States. It was the phasing out of virtually all restrictions on trade and investment flows. “The expanded trade resulting from NAFTA has raised the United States' gross domestic product very slightly. (The effect on Mexican GDP has also been positive and probably similar in magnitude. Because the Mexican economy is much smaller than the U.S. economy, however, that effect represents a much larger percentage increase for the Mexican economy.)” (The Effects of NAFTA on U.S. –Mexican Trade and GDP, May 2003). Over the years NAFTA has helped Mexico to improve on their exports and imports trading with the United States. NAFTA has had a positive effect dealing with the international investments. This is because some of the restrictions Mexico had on their foreign investment dealing with the ownership of capital. NAFTA also allowed Mexico to do away with tariffs and quotas. This allowed Mexico to become a profitable place to invest, in plants and assembling of products in the United States. NAFTA eliminating the tariffs in Mexico helped to reduce the different license requirements and restrictions on foreign investment. This meant that it would open the doors for Mexico to invest in private...

...Tania Trevino English 1302 Johanna Hunt Nov 1, 2011 Mexican Drug War In 2006 Mexico’s current president Felipe Calderon declared war against drug cartels, since that day Mexico has not been the same. This declaration created a storm of violence throughout the country, and has left Mexican people hopeless and desperate to find a solution to this problem. Mexico has become a vulnerable country that fear drug cartels, and that lives surrounded by violence. It is essential to comprehend how this situation started, what effects it has had on Mexican society and what actions is the Mexican government taking to overcome this problem. It’s no surprise to say that the drug cartels have been around for many years, there has always been a great demand for drugs and Mexico following the Colombian steps has been up to date with selling drugs and transporting them to other countries. Its’ location has been very convenient and has created a connection between the southern countries and the Unites States. Everything started to deteriorate when Mexico’s president decided to declare war against them, the many arrests and deaths of cartel leaders lead to bloody conflicts between the Mexican Federal Police and the drug cartels. There are several main cartels that domain the country these are separated into alliances that are composed of two groups: The first group is formed by Juarez cartel, Tijuana cartel, Beltran-Leyva cartel and the Zetas, the second group is composed by Gulf cartel...

...conquistado y colonizado por los equipos españoles, por ejemplo México fue conquistado por Hernán Cortés en 1523. A continuación el comercio triangular se estableció. ¿Pero qué es el comercio triangular? El comercio triangular fue una ruta comercial que se formó en el Océano Atlántico y en pocas palabras, los equipos españoles tuvieron las riquezas de Latinoamérica como el azúcar de caña, el algodón, el ron, el cacao, y los metales preciosos como la plata y el oro a Europa donde estos materiales fueron manufacturados. Pues se usaban para intercambio en África con los esclavos negros. El destino de ellos fue Latinoamérica, donde las colonias usaban a los africanos para hacer los trabajos duros cuales los indígenas no fueron capaz a hacer. Por ejemplo tenían que colectar el algodón en los latifundios en el calor extremo. En parte a cause de este acto historial Latinoamérica está dependiente demasiado de sus recursos naturales porque no podría fomentar economía en otros sectores. Verbigracia Chile fue y aún depende del cobre, qué se puede trovar en este país, la economía mexicana y la de Perú depende de la plata cual se puede trovar en estos países. Además se puede decir que por esa razón la economía en muchos países latinos sólo ha crecido y crece con la explotación de los recursos naturales y muchas veces estos no son renovables y desparecen con el tiempo más y más/ cada día más. Debido a este hecho pienso que México, Centroamérica y América del Sur deben hacer algo para salvar...

...Oil Spill The disaster that occurred in the Gulf of Mexico on April 20, 2010 was a huge deal to our nation. I'm sure that everyone old enough to understand heard about the oil spill. The spill was very bad, but I believe we got lucky because it could have been even worse than it ended up to be. The oil flowed into the open ocean for over three months, but it was originally thought that it was going to take even longer to stop. A oil spill of that magnitude could severely damage any environment that it was spilt into. The corporation BP took much heat from the government, along with everyone around the country for causing the leak, and not fixing it quick enough. The fact is, once the leak started as it did, it was a very hard problem for them to stop. My paper will cover three elements of this horrible disaster: First, the ecological impact on life in the gulf after the spill, Second, the current economic life of the local communities, and lastly, what is being done to mitigate future consequences. First, obviously the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico left an ecological impact on life in the gulf, and surrounding areas. On July 15, the leak was stopped by capping the gushing wellhead, after it had released about 4.9 million barrels,^ or 205.8 million gallons of crude oil. That is a whole lot of oil being released, so the impact that it had on the environment was a big one. Actually, it was the largest accidental marine oil spill in history. Obviously the marine...

...century the Mexican culture has changed rapidly. The contemporary life in the biggest cities has, in many ways, become similar to United States and Europe. However, most Mexican villagers follow the older way of life more than the city people do. There are a few etiquettes that are valid around Mexico when it comes to social relationship, greeting, dining, attire, opposite sex, shopping, and bargaining. In Mexico, the greeting and meeting formalities are very important, it is considered rude to fail to follow social protocols. It is essential to use physical contact to build trust and respect with others. Mexicans often hold a gesture (hug or handshake) longer than Americans and Canadians do. In social situations man shake hands until they know someone well, then they progress to more traditional back slapping and hugs. When women greet each other in social situations they usually do not shake hands, instead pat each other on the right forearm or shoulder. Men bow when greeting a woman in Mexico, and shake hands only if she extends her hand first. But, in business situations women usually offer a handshake. Mexicans are all about physical contact, it is essential. Dining etiquette in Mexico is important to follow if ever dining at a restaurant or in a Mexican home. When dining at Mexican´s home its necessary to remember to always show up 30 minutes or later in most places. Because arriving on time or earlier than planned is considered inappropriate. If you are invited to somebody’s...
