...the United States I decided to do my research paper on drug trafficking methamphetamine in the United States. I chose this topic for two reasons, one because I have had a history of drug trafficking methamphetamines myself and another reason is because I am currently working on my BA in applied behavioral science to further my career in substance abuse counseling. A little bit about methamphetamines being transported from Mexico to the United States is DEA (drug enforcement administration) is trying to put a stop to Americans transporting drugs from Mexico to the United States. And with the DEA doing this Americans think that it would be safer to make methamphetamines in their own homes instead of taking the chance transporting the drugs from one state to another. So I plan on doing my research paper along the lines of the DEA cracking down on Americans transporting methamphetamines and Americans making or “cooking” methamphetamines in their homes, otherwise known as “meth labs”. My hypothesis is that Mexico is the major supplier to the United States for methamphetamines and many Americans are going to Mexico to get methamphetamines and transporting the drugs back to their city to distribute the drug to make money. After doing some research on the topic I found that “DEA has concluded that Mexico has become this country’s primary source of a category of drugs now flooding it”. (Interiano, 2008) Also I found from another source that “Mexico-based groups are now believed to control...

...of Mexican drug cartels in the United States? Andres F Urueta Dr. Maugh LIB-495-GS001 December 5, 2014 Abstract This research paper examines the impact of Mexican drug cartels in the United States. Most Americans are not aware of how far reaching these cartels are in the United States. Their power has an influence in our government and communities. This project examines who the Mexican Drug cartels are, what their purpose is, where they have influences, and when did they start to become a problem for the United States. This paper also touches base on the impact of the drugs that are illegally brought into the United States by these cartels and their methods for justice. These cartels generate billions of dollars at the expense of Americans who become addicted to the drugs that are transported in the United states. Are these cartels a problem of the past or an indication of the future. Contents Chapter 1 Introduction Chapter 2 Literature Review Chapter 3 Research Design and Methodology Chapter 4 Results of Study Chapter 5 Summary and Discussion Table 1 Table 2 Table 3 Table 4 Table 6 Chapter 1: Introduction Introduction The Mexican drug cartels have been a cancer that has grown throughout Mexico. Influenced by Colombian cartels, such as the Pablo Escobar’s Medellin Cartel. In 2008, over 5,600 people were killed in Mexico. Many of them were tortured or beheaded (Hixson, 2009).

...communication between the United States of America and Mexico is how the communication significantly affected foreign policy and international commerce between the two countries. Mexico is a country of intercultural significance and neighbors the United States of America. The United States of America is traditional and within the country, many cultures exist. The work ethic and language, within intercultural communication in Mexico and the United States of America, are similar. The population of the United States exceeds 313 million people and this statistic results in America as the third largest country in the world. The diverse population of the United States is 64 percent Caucasian, 16 percent Hispanic, 13 percent Black, five percent Asian and Pacific Islander, and one percent Native American. One could state that the United States of America consists of a plethora of cultures. The population of Mexico is 113.7 million people and increasing 1.10 percent annually (Huntington, 2005). Mexico’s population is an estimated 60 percent mixture of with indigenous heritage and Spanish. The multiple indigenous groups are approximately 30 percent, and the European ancestry is approximately nine percent. The largest city in Mexico is Mexico City and New York is the largest city in the United States of America. The two cities are over 17 million, another similarity between the two countries (Rosenberg, 2013). The United States of America and Mexico differ in values, patterns in language, beliefs...

Executive Summary. On August Sixth and Ninth in 1945 the Japanese Island’s two cities Hiroshima and Nagasaki were bombed with a new type of weapon. The Atomic bomb created to end the Second World War, and to showcase The United States in becoming a Superpower. After the Atomic Bomb use it would affect the cities of Japan for years to come, but also the world leading to a new arms race that still affects us today. II. Essay How can one describe the power of the Atomic Bomb? With the power to bring two cities to its knees and kill thousands of people and affect people for years to come. The Atomic Bomb was used to bring Japan’s unconstitutional surrender. The used of this weapon is still under massive debate, even to this day. Was it ethical to use the Atomic Bomb not once, but twice on one nation? In using the Atomic Bomb on Japan it showed the world the deadly weapon the United States had created it. In the use of the Atomic Bomb we show the world and more importantly Russia what we developed. Now this Atomic age had begun as we enter the time known aa the Cold War. In the late 1930’s European and American physicists discovered how the fission of atoms could create a powerful an explosive weapon.

...Segovia 11/30/2015 ENG 1302 Dr. Cunningham Taking Control of Air Pollution in Mexico City In 1992, the United Nations described Mexico City’s air as the most polluted on the planet. Six years later, that air earned Mexico the reputation of “the most dangerous city in the world for children” — a reputation Mexico has been working hard to improve. But despite more than a decade of stringent pollution control measures, a haze hangs over the city most days, obscuring the surrounding snow-capped mountains and endangering the health of its inhabitants. Many factors have contributed to this situation: industrial growth, a population boom (from three million in 1950 to some 20 million today), and the proliferation of vehicles. More than 3.5 million vehicles — 30% of them more than 20 years old — now ply the city streets. Geography conspires with human activity to produce a poisonous scenario. Located in the crater of an extinct volcano, Mexico City is about 2,240 meters above sea level. The lower atmospheric oxygen levels at this altitude cause incomplete fuel combustion in engines and higher emissions of carbon monoxide and other compounds. Intense sunlight turns these into higher than normal smog levels. In turn, the smog prevents the sun from heating the atmosphere enough to penetrate the inversion layer blanketing the city. Because of this and the extreme number of vehicles on the road Mexico City implemented “Hoy No Circula”. Hoy no Circula was started in late 1989, and consisted...

...was signed by the Canadian legislature in order to prevent football leagues from other countries interfering with the Canadian Football League and punishes players with fines. This law will be quite a hurdle to jump if the NFL is serious about putting an NFL team in Canada. One potential solution to this would be to merge the NFL and CFL, a logistical nightmare by any means. A much simpler solution would be to pay the players the excess in order to pay for the fines, an easy fix because the NFL will be garnering that much more revenue. One needs to look no further for expansion cities than the US itself. There are untapped markets almost everywhere one looks. San Antonio, Las Vegas, Memphis, and Oklahoma City are front runners for domestic expansion. Other cities include Portland, Salt Lake City, Louisville, Honolulu, Birmingham, Hartford, Sacramento, Virginia Beach, and Columbus. Any potential city would have to have an airport and an existing stadium, but it is plain to see some of the most untapped markets for potential NFL franchises are right here at home (Toney...

...Country Report; Mexico Eric D. Crivello 09/11/2011 City University of Seattle Abstract This paper is examining the decision of Guitar Center to begin opening franchises in the country of Mexico. The following pages examine the cultural, legal and economic issues that are associated with such a decision, detailing the current situation in Mexico and considerations that an organization such a Guitar Center must be aware of. Overall, the purpose of this paper is to provide the reader with some insight into the specific details that a firm like Guitar Center must take into consideration when deciding whether to move into Mexico or some other emerging market nation when planning on internationalizing their business operations. Country Report; Mexico The country of Mexico seems like a convenient choice for any firm considering nationalization. The United States shares a border with Mexico, so they are a lot closer than most other countries that could be considered. They are bound to the North American free trade agreement (NAFTA), which allows U.S. firms to export to Mexico or set up operations within their borders without penalty of high tariffs or other forms of import taxes when bringing products back to the U.S. They are also a democratic country and they have a stable government with a fairly strong economy. Yes, there are a lot of positives when considering expanding operations to Mexico, however there are also some negatives that firms must take into consideration...

...among the lowest in the state. This constant underperformance might be due to the high level of minority enrollment throughout the county. This paper uses census and other government data along with school accountability report cards to show that border proximity negatively impacts the performance of a school. While economic and immigration factors are probably not the only reason for this, this paper uses state testing reports and population demographics to compare the schools side by side and account for the difference in school achievement. 1. Introduction The economy of Imperial County ranks among the lowest in the state. This, in turn, reflects heavily on the level of academic achievement in the three main high schools. In addition to this, the county is also home to a large immigrant population, attributed to the proximity with Mexico and large farming sector. However, it is interesting to note the difference in school performance and how they relate with how far away they are from the international border. Taking a number of factors into account, we should observe a lower level of achievement in the school closest to the border. This paper attempts to examine the relationship between school performance and immigration. Specifically, does the higher level of minority students affect academic performance as a whole? This paper will examine the distance from the border, median household income, percentage of minority population, and test scores, among other factors...

...Decision of Uncertainty Paper QNT/561 Applied Business Research and Statistics November 23, 2011 Decision of Uncertainty Paper August of 2006 was memorable month for every citizen of El Paso area. That year record-breaking rainfall, which was twice the average annual destroyed more than 300 homes and caused 100 million dollars in damages. For days after the flood water subsided the area was still under threat of flooding because of the substandard drainage system and outdated levy system. This incident forced many El Pasoans to evaluate the possibility of the future flooding an estimate the cost of purchasing the flood insurance. According to the study performed by the National Weather Service Forecast Office Deep convection, which produces excessive rainfall and flash flooding, poses a threat to lives and property over south-central and southwestern New Mexico and far western Texas, primarily during the summer monsoon season. Forecasting these phenomena are difficult across this region due to the irregular terrain, the sparse data and the relatively poor performance of numerical models in the prediction of heavy rain across the southwestern United States (Rogash, 2003). Therefore, we can safely assume the2006 flooding in El Paso area was a combination of independent variables such as topography and existing drainage system and independent variables such as weather patterns and rainfall. Some such as city representative Eddie Holguin called it a 500-year abnormality...

...Marketing Business Plan I have chosen to do my marketing plan on water filtration systems in Mexico City, Mexico. I have spent some time in Mexico and believe that this is something they need dearly. While bottled water is available for purchase at any given store, I believe that a market exists for filtration systems that are installed directly within the home. Water filtration systems provide a wide scope of market coverage for different customer segments. High-end customer segments may want hardwired systems installed, while low-end customer segments may want filters that attach to faucets. I also believe that the individual house hold is an underserved or untapped market. Water is something that we use every day and the importance of clean drinking water is something that extends to every customer base. In resort towns like Cancun, people come from all over the world and are not accustom to the water quality in Mexico. Resorts already understand the importance of clean drinking water. We intend to branch out into the market of Mexico City, Mexico. Mexico is located directly south of the United States on the North American continent. The country of Mexico has numerous ports on both the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. Some of the largest ports are Altamira (Atlantic), Lazaro Cardenas, and Manzanillo (Pacific). The current population of Mexico is estimated at 123,799,215 as of July 1, 2014. Since 1955 the population growth has ranged anywhere from...
