Summary of Mexico

5 comments:

  1. I’m going to talk about Mexico, which is a country located in the southern part of North America. I’m going to talk about history, geography and government.
    First of is history. The first complex society of Mexico was the Olmec people. They emerged in the southeastern part of the country around 1200 B.C. They were later followed by the Maya, the Toltec and last but not least the Aztec people. Mexico’s ancient societies built great cities and huge pyramids. They also had remarkable works of art. In the mean time they study the stars and planets that way they know when to plant their crops and hold their ceremonies. In the early 1500’s the Spanish arrived in Mexico. When the Spanish arrived in Mexico they brought small pox and other diseases that made the Aztec people very sick. The Spaniards also seized and destroyed the Aztec capital called Tenachti’an The Spanish ruled Mexico until 1821.
    Next is geography. Mexico is a land of extremes, with high mountains and deep canyons in the center of the country. Also they have sweeping deserts in the north along with dense rainforest in the south and east. Mountains cover much of Mexico, between the Sierra Oriental mountain range in the west and the Sierra Madre accidental in the east. Also there is small mountain ranges on the central plateau. These regions are very rich with valuable metals, such as silver and copper. The Yucatán Peninsula runs into the Gulf of Mexico from Mexico’s southeastern tip. It once was the home to the Maya civilization, an ancient culture whose buildings can still be seen today.
    Last but not least is government. Mexico is a country with great potential. It is very rich in natural resources, such as silver copper and agriculture products. They have also had political and economic failings which has kept much of the population in poverty. The Mexico and United States border is the largest economic divide on earth. Hundred’s and thousand’s of Mexican’s come to the United States legally and illegally in search of work.
    In conclusion Mexico is a very old country. That was founded by the Spaniards. Mexico is a land of extremes. Also Mexico is a country with great problems and they also have great potential. With all that said Mexico seems like a great place to visit.

    I’m going to write about Mexico, a big country in southern North America. I come from Mexico and i have important facts about Mexico. I’m going to tell you a little about history, geography and government.
    The Olmec people had the first complex society. The society emerged in the south eastern part of the country around 1200bc.Then they were followed by the Maya, Toltac and the Aztec people.
    Then the Spanish arrived in the 1500s to Mexico. The Spanish seized and destroyed the Aztec capital called Tenochtllan. They also brought diseases like smallpox. Mexico is a land of extreme geography. For example, Mexico has high mountains and deep canyon.
    Mexico is a country with great population. It's rich in some resources like oil, silver and copper. In some ways Mexico is poor, the United States has a stronger economy.
    In my summery I told you'll that I come from Mexico. A place that's very poor but in some way's it's beautiful. It has a history from the 1821.

    Mexico is a beautiful county rich with history and culture, from food to tradition Mexico is a amazing place! Truly a country worth seeing in person. Sadly Mexico has it’s share of problems, Most of the population live in or near poverty while the government looks the other way. And drug cartels own the border with the united states with an iron fist.
    Mexico’s history is rich with culture and tradition, people in Mexico are proud of their history and have found a way to integrate it in modern culture, giving Mexico a unique personality on the world stage. Mexico is a mostly religious nation with the majority of the population being Roman Catholic. It is not an uncommen sight to see a shrine to Mary in the living room of most living rooms in Mexico.

    Sadly Mexico has it’s own problems, the econmey in Mexico is very weak and as a result the minimum wage in Mexico is very low, most people can barely afford to feed their families. Many try to cross the border with the US in hopes of a better life. Another problem is that the northern regains of Mexico are lawless areas controlled by the drug cartels who hurt and kill anyone who they think is in their way. The government in Mexico cares little for its people, looking the other way while the the cartels terrorize the people, they have done little to stop the lawlessness in the north.

    Mexico is like no other place on earth full of culture and history and a nation who has refused to give up who they are in order conform to the modern standard. It is unforcenent that it has been plagued by hardship, but the people of Mexico are a resilient people who have overcome many hardships in the past and will overcome their current problems as well.

  4. Mexico, the land of variety. Starting from the Yucatan Peninsula are mountains that run down to the Gulf of Mexico clear down to the southern tip. You can also find mountains in the North including canyons and desserts. In the East and South are wetlands and dense tropical rainforests. It is no surprise then that Mexico is home to a variety of animals, species, and exotic plants because of the diverse climates she offers. The following paragraphs describe Mexico's history, economy, and government.

    Mexico is a ancient society, home of the Olmecs, Mayans, and Aztec indians. The first great society was the Olmecs who lived along the southeastern part of Mexico.The other tribes followed later. These ancient people built pyramids, and beautiful cities which can still be seen today. The Spanish arrived in the 1500's where the ruled until 1821. People of Mexico today are now a mix of spanish and indian blood and are called Mestizos who speak spanish.

    Mexico today has a population of 106,202,903 people and shares the largest border in the world to the United States of America. Mexico is a country rich in natural resources including silver, copper, oil, and agricultural resources. The economy is poor and the people are in poverty due to the corrupt government. The official name of Mexico is called, United Mexican States and the capital is Mexico City. Mexico is know for it's great food, famous artists like Frida Kalo, and invented the rodeo and bullfighting.

    I think you would agree then that Mexico is a land of variety and offers so much to be explored.

  5. Thesis Statement: I disagree with the author’s view point because his argument seems to be based on personal and emotional experiences that are not backed up with valid facts. It seems that he doesn’t really care for animals and would rather spend his time and money in other ways.
    When he states that you need specialized knowledge to properly care for your pet’s health and safety. He doesn’t have any facts to back up his statement. It is always good to read up on your pet or its breed. But you don’t have to be a vet to take care of your pet properly. You don’t really make more trips to the vet than the doctor’s office.
