...E-government Experience in Mexico In just four years, Mexico prepared, launched, and implemented an e-government strategy that put the country among the top performers of online services in the world. For President Vicente Fox Administration, innovation is a priority. Citizens have been placed at the center of government daily activities in order to regain their trust, and the challenge is that every public institution has to contribute to build a government that works like all Mexicans want. This creates a gap of need for methods, procedures, and new culture to drive the changes. The Mexican government is searching for ways to integrate e-government in a broader reform that defines e-government as a tool to improve the quality, transparency, and efficiency of government and public services. The government’s vision: “A Government that works how we all want” seeks for modernization of delivery of government services and information, and, more importantly, transformation of the citizen-government relationship. The objectives set were: transparency and accountability, quality, and efficiency that would facilitate the strategies of anti-corruption, public service improvement, regulatory reform and cost efficiency, all of which will create a sustainable e-government. Mexico began by focusing on the widespread application of ICT, the dissemination of information and the production of as many online services as possible. This contributed to an international...

The National Population Council of Mexico estimates that one in 10 Mexican families is dependent upon money sent home from Mexican workers in the U.S. In October 1994 the Immigration and Naturalization Services launched Operation Gatekeeper to crack down on people entering the country through San Diego, California. This Gatekeeper forced immigrants to cross through the Imperial Desert. Several thousand had died along the U.S. Mexico border since this operation. Mexican had drowned in canals and rivers and had died of dehydration. In July 2001, the Mexican President Vicente Fox asked President Bush to consider granting legal status to three million undocumented Mexicans. U.S. Congressman Luis Gutierrez backed the bill that would legalize immigrants who could prove U.S. residence since 1996. Political issue after September 11, 2001, U.S. officials told the Mexican government that because the terrorism fears the immigration laws were unlikely to change anytime soon. The government needs to decide if the laws we have in place are the right...

...In-N-Out Burger History and Overview. The history of In-N-Out Burger starts with the company’s founders, Harry and Esther Snyder. Harry was a WWII veteran who worked as a caterer of baked goods. Esther was a surgical nurse in the Navy, and later got a degree in Zoology. They met each other at the restaurant Esther was managing after she graduated from college. Neither had experience in the fast food industry, which was just starting at that time, but in 1948, the couple opened the first In-N-Out in the Los Angeles, California. Harry was the first to allow drivers to make orders over a two-way intercom system, creating the first Drive-thru experience. Snyder had a simple goal for his restaurant, to give the customers “the freshest, highest quality foods you can buy” while providing “friendly service in a sparkling clean environment”. Soon people started to become interested in this idea. Two years later the couple opened the Second In-N-Out Burger. The chain had huge potential to explode but the couple was very focused on quality control. This resulted in only 18 restaurants being opened over the next 28 years before Harry Synder passed away in 1976 from lung cancer.

...Arthur 1 Morgan Arthur April 23, 2009 Final Essay Prof. Medlin English 1020 United States-Mexican Border Wall Immigrants founded the United States of America and ever since then there have been people from all over the world coming to America for a chance at a better life for themselves and their families. Immigrants from all over the world come, some legally and some illegally. A majority of these immigrants come from southern-border country Mexico. Everyday, the United States has hundreds of illegal immigrants come into the country. They cross over from the Rio Grande into Texas; they cross over into Arizona, New Mexico, and California. With all of the problems that the United States is facing from illegal immigration, maybe it is time that the American government should have a stronger form of border control. For years there has been talk of a stronger border and in some cases there has been action. However, with the opinions in favor of a stronger border security, such as a border wall, there are also strong opinions against the idea. A border wall would help the United States with security issues; it might also slow down the number of immigrants coming across the border every year. The fact is that something must be done to slow down illegal immigration before this country becomes over populated. Illegal immigrants are taking jobs away from American citizens, who at this moment during the recession need those jobs more than ever. The United States government...

...El texto argumentativo, hace referencia tanto a la expresión corporal o escrita como a la teatral. En ambos casos, el texto argumentativo tiene como objetivo "atacar" o defender una opinión mediante justificaciones o razones con el fin de persuadir o convencer al receptor. La finalidad del emisor puede ser probar o demostrar una idea o tesis, refutar la contraria, o bien persuadir o disuadir al receptor sobre determinados comportamientos, hechos o ideas no razonables. La argumentación, por importante que sea, no suele darse en estado puro y suele combinarse con la exposición. Mientras la exposición se limita a mostrar, la argumentación intenta demostrar, convencer o cambiar ideas. Por ello, en un texto argumentativo además de la función apelativa presente en el desarrollo de los argumentos, aparece la función referencia, en la parte en la que se expone la tesis. La argumentación se utiliza en una amplia variedad de textos, especialmente en los científicos, filosóficos, en el ensayo, en la oratoria política y judicial, en los textos periodísticos de opinión y en algunos mensajes publicitarios. En la lengua oral, además de aparecer con frecuencia en la conversación cotidiana (aunque con poco rigor), es la forma dominante en los debates, coloquios o mesas redondas. Los textos argumentativos son aquellos en los que el emisor tiene como intención comunicativa prioritaria la de ofrecer su visión subjetiva sobre un determinado tema. En tanto que argumentar es, por definición, un procedimiento...

...Vicente Fox, the President of Mexico, is at best known as a racist against the blacks in Mexico. In March 2005, during one of the much-publicized projects in Arizona, the Minuteman, Fox made arrogant remarks touching on blacks. Then in May 2005, President Fox made it to insult African Americans again. He was making a speech in which he made claims that implied that African Americans comprise society’s lowest rungs. Fox made these statements stating that immigrants coming from Mexico do work that not even black people would want to do. About a month later, there came the inauguration of Mexico's most recent series of postage stamps. These postage stamps featured a black character. This character appeared in the postage stamps with a background that made a portrayal of a minstrel show. The popularity of the Memin Pinguin series of postage stamps in Mexico made racial sense in that the character in it was thick-lipped, flat-nosed, bug-eyed, and dancing with vigor. Memin Pinguin is among Mexico's most adored comic strip characters. He has been positively acclaimed by Sixto Valencia Burgos, the cartoonist. Sixto portrays Memin in his description as "this funny little kid. And nice. And generous. Oh, and black, too." Such portrayal of Memin in the postage stamps series by Fox was apparent. Despite the racism in these stamps, Fox went on the defensive again and was fervently defended by Rubén Aguilar, his spokesman. Aguilar denied any racism in that character. He even went further...

...The founding of La Opinión took place in 1971, amidst an accelerating heavy government hand within the press as a result of increasing dissidence by groups across Argentine society. In the prior decades, rather than a strict focus upon dissidence, the relationship between media and politics was that of using the former to pursue the ends of the latter. In other words, Colonel Juan Perón, elected president in 1946, was the first of his kind to use the Argentine media in order to sway the public “through direct expropriation, selective advertising, propaganda, nationalization politics, censorship and at times, thuggish intimidation” (Samples, p. 6). Many of these approaches were used in Perón’s well-known expropriation of La Prensa, a newspaper backed by publishers dedicated to preserving the social status quo and aligned with agricultural interests. Perón, in pointing out the deepening social inequalities ravishing the country, sought to bring about instrumental change to address these ills, but with its traditional, preservationist stance, which deeply opposed Perón’s rhetoric, La Prensa eventually became confiscated in 1951. Until 1955, when it was returned to the Paz family, the original founders, the newspaper served the function of being the Perón regime’s spokesman (Kundson, p. 97). The newspaper’s confiscation and subsequent use as a tool for propaganda remains a foreboding hint to the press’ true use in the coming decades. Although a military coup forced Perón’s exile...

...Eva Peron Who would you say has made a big impact on the world? The first person that comes to my mind is Eva Peron. Evita they call her, it’s amazing who she turned out to be. She started from nothing, but became someone Argentina would never forget. She has done the unthinkable and the unexpected again and again. Who knew such a degraded girl immersed in poverty would rise to become Argentina’s first lady? Eva Peron was born on May 7, 1919 in Los Toldos, Argentina. At a very young age, Eva’s father, Juan Duarte died in an automobile crash sending Eva’s family into even more poverty due to one less working parent. Eva’s mother now had to take care of five people not including her. Some of Eva’s siblings got a job that didn't pay much while others tried to marry into riches. However, Eva had a dream. At age 15, she dreamt of fame and fortune. She wanted to be seen in movies and to be heard on the radio. Little did she know that she’d turn out to be so much more than she ever imagined. Competition and popularity in the cinema was increasing in an alarming rate. She arrived at the city where the dreams of the Argentina’s youth come true. Eva faced many years of hard work and tiresome nights of periodic hunger and feebleness. An endless feeling of trying to survive accompanied her. Eva’s biggest accomplishment in the industry was in 1943 where she participated in a radio series called “Heroines of History”. Along with this amazing opportunity that changed her future came those who...
