...Cheesy Chicken “Benchiladas” 4-6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts 8 oz. reduced fat sour cream 8 oz. Ranch salad dressing flour tortillas (10-15) – we like Azteca, packs of 10 jar of salsa shredded Mexican cheese (I usually use close to 4 cups, I love cheese!) Directions: Cook chicken breasts by preferred cooking method until cooked through. Set aside to cool a bit. While chicken is cooling, mix up the sauce. In a large mixing bowl, combine half of the sour cream and half of the Ranch dressing. In a small bowl, combine the rest of the sour cream and Ranch dressing. Stir both until well combined. Shred or chop the cooked chicken and add to the large mixing bowl. Mix well with sauce. Preheat the oven to 375°. Grease a 9 x 13″ pan (and possibly another, smaller pan if needed). Take one tortilla and top with a little less than 1 tbsp. of the sauce from the small bowl. Spread over the tortilla in an even layer. Add some of the chicken mixture to the center of the tortilla. Top with salsa to taste. Sprinkle with shredded cheese, to taste. Roll up tortilla and place, seam side down, in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with remaining ingredients (usually makes 10-15 enchiladas). Bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes (30 for a crispier tortilla). Allow to cool a few minutes before serving.

...workforce. There are numerous cultural misunderstandings in this case study between Anglo and Latino workforce. The Human Resource Department is unclear how to address the issues facing in the company. The restroom One of the cultural challenges that company is facing is soiled toilet paper scattered or piled all over the plant’s bathroom floors. In Mexico and other Latin American countries, the sewer or wastes pipes leading from the building are usually small in diameter compared with U.S. standards. In addition, the water pressure or volume generated is also less and toilets are much more prone to clogging. Individuals are taught at an early age to dispose their used toilet tissue into the basket provided. It is very much possible that restrooms at the company sites do not provide waster basket for used toilet tissues disposal. Or there is no sign in the restroom to let Latino workers know that their toilets have plenty of horsepower to flush away anything. Banking The Mexican banking system is much different than most Anglo Americans are used to. Mexicans distrust banking system due to history of corruption in Mexico. Many of them choose to keep their money in their house. Furthermore, many Mexican immigrants, in fact, immigrants in the U.S. are illegal immigrants or immigrants who lack traditional documents such as a driver’s license and Social Security number or just simply lack of any kind of legal identification to even open a bank account in the U.S. The fear being...

...(NAFTA), which is an agreement between Canada, Mexico, and the United States for free trade, that would not only eliminate tariffs but also allow an increase in quota from Canada and Mexico to ship textiles to the United States. Compounding the issues, Martin’s Textiles has been experiencing small losses over the past several years and has received threats of losing long-term customers. Nonetheless, John Martin, Martin’s Textiles CEO, has to make the decision whether or not to move his company’s production, currently based in New York where the company has strong family like relations with its employees, to Mexico in order to reduce labor cost or wait for an imminent bankruptcy. Martin’s Textiles was founded in 1910 and has spanned four generations of the Martin family. However, with the implementation of NAFTA, all tariffs between the Canada, Mexico and the United States would be eliminated within the next 10 to 15 years with most tariffs cut in 5 years. For Martin’s Textiles the plan’s provision that all tariffs on trade of textiles amount the tree countries would be removed within 10 years would be the especially impactful. Yet, what was even more overwhelming for the textile industry was that the quota for Canada and Mexico to ship clothing and textiles to the United States each year would rise slightly over the first five years of the agreement. Thus, the reason why many textiles competitors have moved operations to Mexico in response to increase the cost of competition...

...organizations also involved in kidnapping, extortion, cargo robbery, smuggling, and piracy (Marketline, 2012). Moreover, drug trafficking and other criminal activities launder billions of dollars into the Mexican economy through a fine network of bankers and business figures. With many cartels branching into other crimes, the problem has compounded, expanding into US territory. For instance, North Carolina-based Wachovia Wells Fargo Bank recently had to pay USD160 million to settle federal investigations on allegations of laundering Mexican drug money (Marketline, 2012). Table 1 Mexican Drug Cartels Main Areas of Influence, 2010-2011 Source: Nieto, 2012 Mexico’s Industrial Chambers Federation informed that the cost of insecurity in Mexico reached 7% of the country’s GDP, the equivalent of 9,640 pesos per person (El Universo, 2010). An estimate of lost money due to the fight against drug traffic and crime in general represents 154 billion pesos (El Universo, 2010).

...Media Reaction SOC315 June 13, 2012 Media Reaction Filmmaker, Roy Germano, interviewed over 700 households in Mexico, where he looked into why so many people leave the Mexican countryside to work in the United States and what happens to the families and communities they left behind. He interviewed small farmers, fathers and mothers, small business owners, community leaders, politician and return migrants. Many of the people in this community agree that the government is corrupt, they say they will give to the people, help them, but they are only looking for a vote, many politicians say that these people are uneducated and knowing this it helps them to per sway the locals to get the vote they need. Then they leave the people without any thing that they had promised. In this particular piece, the filmmaker is giving us a look into why immigration hurts the people of this Mexican countryside and will happen to the land. People leave to go to the U.S. because they can make more in a day then they would make in several days in their own community, before NAFTA came into Mexico, farmers where able to farm and sell their product and actually make a profit, but today many who still farm barely make enough to actually farm the land, this is why they migrant away from home, many have families and must come to the U.S. to provide money for just the basic necessities to live. I feel that he is given an unbiased look, he did not make this documentary to hurt these people, and he wanted...

...Todos los gatos son pardos es una obra literaria que relata la historia de la conquista de México. Fue escrita por Carlos Fuentes, escritor que se caracteriza por plasmar en sus obras la identidad mexicana. Aunque nació en Panamá y vivió parte de su infancia en Suiza, Fuentes se identifica con la filosofía “de lo mexicano”. Esto se puede apreciar por el hecho de que el autor escribió Todos los gatos son pardos como una forma de expresar su descontento hacia el gobierno mexicano, por la matanza de un grupo de jóvenes en 1968. Según se dice, el gobierno autorizó esta matanza y es por eso que él denuncia este hecho a través de su escrito. En una parte de la historia, aparece la escena de un joven que está siendo sacrificado por las autoridades religiosas sin ningún motivo, haciendo alusión a dicho suceso. Me parece muy creativa la manera en que Fuentes transmite su desagrado, una manera indirecta pero con un sentido profundo. Creo que es propio de un artista el expresarse a través de su creación, pues posee la libertad de moldearla a su antojo, con el fin de transmitir un mensaje y penetrar en la mente del receptor. En cuanto a los personajes, el que más me llama la atención es la Malinche. Ella fue una mujer considerada como traidora del pueblo mexicano por proveer información Hernán Cortés, quien la utilizará para llevar a cabo la conquista. La Malinche tiene tres identidades o nombres: Malintzin, nombre que le dieron sus padres; Marina, nombre que le dio su amado Cortés;...

...Discussion 2 Locke wrote that all men have a natural right to life, liberty, and property or the fruits of their labor which Jeffersonchanged to "the pursuit of happiness" when he wrote the Declaration of Independence. Locke also wrote that government is an instrument of the people's will, and the people have the right to rebel if the government proves to be tyrannical or defective. This argument has been used by many revolutionaries, but Jefferson was one of the first to use Locke's ideas to justify revolution. 6. How did industrialization change the work environment? How did industrialization affect cultural exchanges and social change around the globe in the nineteenth century? After the industrialization, the work environment was very harsh and tragic. Laborers were paid very low and had very few or even no any benefits for working with dangerous machines. Their lives were dark and terrible. For example, the work conditions were recorded: "The process of purifying iron, demanded that workers toiled amidst temperatures as high as 130 degrees in the coolest part of the ironworks. Though the hours worked by people did not change, the labor force was poorly paid and made to work harder without rest. They had to work for about 10 to 14 hours a day, six days a week, in harsh conditions. The monotony of the job made them even more unbearable. The relationship between the employers and employee became impersonal and cold, making the employers unmindful of the condition of...

...Mexico It’s Friday, I've got no job, I've got no class and I’m headed down to Mexico! I am a freshman attending the University of Arizona in Tucson and the second semester is coming to a close in a couple short weeks. I must have done something good because I had recently been granted permission from my parents to bring my pickup truck to campus to use for the remainder of the year. My parents had previously been against me driving anything that wasn't powered by my own “Chevro-legs". I am driving South on the SR-85 in my blue 1995 regular cab Chevrolet with my roommate Chris and good friend Sean sitting beside me on the cloth bench-style seat. We’re loaded with a cooler full of snacks, beer and water, a sleeping bag per person, and around $300 between us. We reach Why Arizona and I pull into a Mobile gas station to fill up on American gas for the weekend; I think we bought Mexican insurance here too, but not worth describing. I remember the gas prices fairly reasonable still in the summer of the 2003; so gas ran me probably thirty five bucks for my eighteen gallon fuel tank. Mexican insurance was twenty dollars a day and we paid for coverage for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Fully loaded and ready to get rolling with this entirely spontaneous vacation that was only happening because the previous night I learned that my seventeen year old brother was going to be in Rocky Point for his first time that weekend. Upon hearing this news, I gathered up Sean and Chris...

...Padilla 1 Alejandro Padilla Español 125 Octubre 10, 2013 Mi Herencia Cultura Hola mi nombre es Alejandro Padilla, mi herencia cultura que yo me defino con es mexicano americano. Ay varias razones que me identifico con estas dos culturas. Para empezar estaba nacido en Los Estado Unidos de América en la ciudad de Fresno en el año 1992. Mi primer idioma era español porque mis dos parientes son de México y son nacidos en Guanajuato. Este ejemplo es unas de las más importante razones que me identifico con la étnica mexicana. Estoy consciente que algunas personas no se quieren identificar con étnica mexicana por que no estaban nacidos en México pero cuando era niño menor mis padres me ensañaron de la cultura mexicana a llevando me a las fiestas, escuchando la música, comiendo y preparando la comida, y también vistiendo me con lo ropa identificada con la cultura mexicana. Una grande razón que yo me identifico también americano es que estoy nacido aquí, la mayoría de la música, televisión, y actividades están establecidas en los Estados Unidos. Por ejemplo mis dos favoritos deportes futbol americano y el baloncesto están preferidos. Un grande parte de mi infancia era a atender y participar en las fiestas mexicanas. Las fiestas incluyeron Las Posadas y Quincenarias. Cuando tenía 9 años era mi primera vez participando en las Posadas y participe hasta que tenía 12 años. Eran muy divertidas, siempre había varia comida, piñatas para abrir, y juegos. Mi familia siempre estaba en atendencia...

...the Bottom of the Pyramid CEMEX: Innovation in Housing for the Poor CEMEX is a multinational cement manufacturing company operating out of Mexico. It is the largest cement manufacturer in Mexico, the second largest in the United States, and the third largest in the world. The company has operations on four continents and recorded global revenues of $6.54 billion in 2002 with a gross margin of 44.1 percent. THE INNOVATION. . . CEMEX leads the paradigm shift of companies profitably providing housing for the poor, the Tier 4 population, instead of governments or not-for-profit organizations. CEMEX manufactures and sells raw cement, ready-mix concrete, aggregates, and clinker (used to make cement) under different brand names. As the largest cement company in Mexico, CEMEX operated in a highly protected legal environment with little competition until the 1990s. It competed mainly on price and controlled 65 percent of the market share in Mexico. However, during the 1990s, the legal barriers in Mexico broke down, paving the way for international competition. CEMEX found itself operating in a highly competitive open environment. Starting in 1987, under the leadership of Mr. Lorenzo Zambrano, CEMEX experienced explosive growth, mainly through acquisitions and global expansion. Today, the company has 235 cement and ready-mix plants in Mexico, 60 in the United States, 85 in Spain, 45 in Venezuela, 4 in Indonesia, and 4 in Egypt. In the new competitive arena and under new leadership...

...BP's Ethical Culture and the 2010 Oil SPil The explosion of 2010 that occurred at the “Macondo” oil reservoir is to date the largest oil spill in history of the United States of America which resulted in 2.5 million gallons of crude oil to pour into the Gulf of Mexico daily. The death of thousands of marine animals, the damage done to the habitats, the lives of the 11 oil rig workers and many other consequences have been laid at the feet of BP. Such a crisis has raised further questions regarding BP’s ethical practices and has urged enquires into what aspects of BP’s ethical culture would have contributed to this disaster. BP (formerly known as British Petroleum) has had a long history of questionable ethical conduct. The Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico is not the first incident that BP has been involved in but it is certainly the largest. After some previous incidents, BP issued a code of conduct to all of its employees around the globe entitled “Our commitment to integrity”. While this was a valiant attempt by BP to change course and to instill a clear code of conduct within its employees, it did not take effect which is apparent in the Gulf of Mexico incident. Research into this most recent dilemma has shown that BP did not place safety and security as a priority in their drilling activities. There is evidence that BP have conducted this operation with the intent to save costs and expenditures. BP included numerous safety systems in the oil rig and have complied with...

...CORN AND CULTURE: THE INFLUENCE OF ZEA MAYS ACROSS CULTURAL AND HISTORICAL BOUNDARIES BY GINNY MARIE MUELLER Undergraduate Thesis presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the University Scholar distinction The University of Montana Missoula, MT May 2011 Approved by: James C. McKusick, Dean The Davidson Honors College Kathleen Kane, Faculty Mentor English David Moore, Faculty Reader English 1 Mueller, Ginny, B.A., May 2011 English Literature Corn and Culture: The Influence of Zea mays across Cultural and Historical Boundaries Faculty Mentor: Kathleen Kane Second Faculty Reader: David Moore Corn's status as a critical food crop, and its location within indigenous new world cosmographies, illustrate the important sociocultural role the plant has played for millennia. However, modern society has elevated Zea mays far above the status of mere plant, fashioning it into a commodity intimately connected to systems of control and capitalism. Consequently, corn has played an essential role in colonization, industrialization, and the advent of overproduction. The beliefs and literature of numerous new world cultures, along with the literatures of modern Western cultures, offer a striking analysis of corn's current position in western society. The far-reaching impacts that corn has on our socioeconomic and subsistence systems reveal a great deal about globalization, commodification, and dominance. This paper examines corn through a cultural studies lens, documenting...

...profiling and getting low pay work. This movie points out the problems caused by an immigration policy that makes everyone of Hispanic origin suspicious until proved otherwise. In the movie, Rudy pick up his cousin Javier at a factory. Rudy arrives shortly before immigration officials raid the factory looking for undocumented workers. But once they got there they was racial profiling everybody that was a Mexican, including Rudy who is an American citizen; Because he is carrying no identification, and his mother and sister are not available to verify he is a US citizen. Do to this Rudy is deported with the undocumented workers to Mexico. This issue is still going on today with Arizona. They are living in the past by discriminating against everyone that is Mexican descent as illegal immigrates, regardless if they are U.S documented citizens. President of Mexico, Calderón said “Arizona new immigration law, gives the police the right to stop anyone they suspect is an illegal immigrant, "opens the door to intolerance, hate, discrimination and abuse in law enforcement” (Arizona Immigration Law Encourages Police Abuse, Says Mexican President). Rudy meet jimmy outside his bar. Jimmy gave Rudy a low paying job to save up enough money to pay for his trip back to LA. Jimmy was taking advantage of Rudy by giving him a job that only pays him ten cent per person that came in the bar.
