    Although the Mexican maquiladora system is an important component of Mexico-US trade, the connection between the acceleration in maquiladora growth and the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) needs clarifications. Manufacturing in Mexico obligates American firms to comply with Mexico 's detailed labor regulations; however, increasing foreign investment requires that the Mexican Government attempt to make these regulations flexible enough not to scare off foreign investors. Consequently, as much as NAFTA may have increased economic benefits to the Mexican economy, the maquiladora development…

Despite the expansion and diversification in the economies of member states, there has been quite a number of setbacks as a result of the enactment of the trading platform.

    In Mexico there is very little work. The work that is there has very little pay. Death in the Desert showed a young man and his brother and cousin going to the U.S. to find work to help pay for their family. Men in Mexico will come to the U.S. illegally during the months of March September. Then they would raise money to take back to help the families. But their journey to the U.S is very dangerous. First they have to cross the desert in extreme heat and have very little water to get through the whole way. Then they have to find work in the U.S and risk being deported back to the U.S. Family is very important in Mexico. The entire family usually lives together under one roof. In Death in the Desert it said that the oldest is the favorite because they are the first and most important. The oldest son is the one that helps support his family, but in the video since the oldest died the father had to take care of the widow and his grandchildren. Mexican families depend more on families than they do with friends. They consult their family members on matters of health, illness and treatment (Diversity, Oppression, and Social Functioning; George A. Appleby) the family is usually patriarchal and looks at the male head of family with great power and responsibility.…

    The United States of America and Mexico compare and contrast their differences when it comes to education, homeless rates, and their overall standard of living. The U.S and Mexico compare when it comes to homeless rates seeing as the numbers are increasing each year. As for education, Mexico lacks standard education, where as the United States has a higher standard for education. The overall standard of living in both countries is probably the biggest difference the two countries have. Mexico has many prosperous areas to it, but for the most part people who live in Mexico, live poor and on the streets. Children in Mexico usually have to get street jobs in order to help their families with poverty. The United States has its own level of poverty and economic issues, but Mexico has a much higher poverty rate and their money is worth less than the U.S dollar, making it hard to earn money from American tourists. These two standards of living are completely different from each other seeing as they both have different problems. Mexico and the United States share the same issues and values, but on different levels of greatness.…

    Mexico is on a high basin called the Valley of Mexico. Mexico City is one of the largest cities in population because of urbanization. Many people move from rural areas such as a countryside to urban areas, or cities. Urbanization causes spatial inequality which is when people have unequal amounts of resources or money. “Emiliano opened the door for me, and I walked straight into my old house in Edcouch!...Everything in this house had been in ours at one time. (Rice, 26)” Spatial inequality exists because of overcrowds there is a lack of resources, not many jobs, and not enough greens space for everyone to live comfortably in Mexico City.…

    “The cuisine that cooks in Mexico’s heartland have perfected over centuries, born of native traditions, fused with Spanish know-how, and polished by generations of practiced hands.” Corn is used in making of tortillas, enchilada, quesadillas, and tacos. According to the National Institute of Statistics and Geography, corn and tortillas are the top staple food in Mexico (Juarez, 2016). However, the recent increase of food prices especially on corn and tortillas strikes the poorest areas like Chipas at 47% (Juarez, 2016). Climate change impacts the grain prices for the people. The central and northern areas have more drought like conditions than the southeast area which gets more intense rainfall. But the main one is the globalization of the Mexican food sector. Big transnational food companies taking over the local traditional food lines and marketing Tex-Mex (Pilcher,…
