Similarities Between Mexico And The United States
Hello everyone,

As I mentioned in the previous forum, I went to school here in Mexico and the United States. Now, I believe it is important to note that each state has its own policies regarding their educational system, even within the state, each school district employs different policies. For example, my brother and I went to a different school districts and our schedules were different. Therefore, it is almost impossible to talk about an educational system as a whole.
The similarities between the United States and the Mexican educational systems I have found (from my personal experience) are the following:

Similarities:
- A minimum day a week.
In Mexico it was every Friday and in the US it was every Wednesday.
- PTA
There´s a parents

    I think the US should build a fence dividing us and Mexico because of the following reasons. First, the financial reason of this is when illegal aliens come to the US they feed off of americans health care and tax dollars from the government. Also a lot of illegal stuff can be transported easily across the borders. Immigrants often don't have health care because they can afford it and they cannot afford the medical payment when they become injured which affects the economy in America. Around eight million illegal aliens live in the US, and many of them aren't working. Americans also believe that immigrants have jobs that the Americans should have. Wage reduction is something that has occurred as immigrants fill certain jobs up. Language differences…

    The immigration policies in Mexico and Canada are very different. Canada’s immigration policy is more tolerant than Mexico’s. For example, Canada has gained the reputation for having an open arms policy because of their policy. On average, Canada grants citizenship to about 200,000 people a year. Also, take it into consideration that this is a country with a very small population.…

    With ever-changing minds and ideals, it is fundamental for countries to work together in the best interests of their citizens. An arising threat to current world order is governance gap. With recent shifts in power and a number of countries in limbo between autocracy and democracy, the way international issues are dealt with could change. One country almost exclusively found at the heart of important issues has been the United States. With the recent US presidential election, many have been left wondering if President Elect Donald J. Trump will hold true to his campaign promises: building the wall alongside the Mexican-American boarder, aiding the hardworking Americans who have been cheated of their wealth and cancelling payments to climate…

    The Mayans and the Aztecs were two separate tribes with many similarities. The social classes of the Mayan tribe had three main groups: the nobles, the middle class, and the regular commoners. The nobles were people who descended from powerful families such as the king, priests, and high officials. The majority of the Mayan society was made up of the middle class, which was formed by the higher- ranking commoners and the lower- ranking lords. The basic social unit in the Mayan society was the extended family which included a set of grandparents, their children, and the grandchildren. The Mayan society was pretty similar when compared to the Aztec society in many ways. The Aztecs also had two main social classes: nobles and commoners. The nobles…

    Texas took the victory for its independence from Mexico in 1836, the Mexican president General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna promised, “that any move by the Unites States to annex Texas” would face with military force. Nevertheless, Texas became the 28th state of the United States, state officials demanded that the actual border between Texas and Mexico was the Rio Grande River.

    Mexican culture give the impression of being close to American culture, this is asides from how close-knit their families are and their views on healthcare. I would not have to make a lot of changes in the way that I deal with space issues for my Mexican patients. They appear to like the same things that Americans do eye contact and not trying to back out of conversation. One thing that will be a little different is that I will have to make sure to stand a little closer to my Mexican patents and their family, that is if I want the conversation to feel personal.…

    Sofia states that there may be a few minor differences or exceptions to this generalization that may be specific to various regions in Mexico. I believe that trade between the U.S. and Mexico has partially caused this similarity in ethical views. Also, NAFTA would have only caused these ethical similarities to be enhanced due to the increased trade between our countries. I think that generalized, high-level religious similarities hold stock in what both of our countries believe to be unethical. Most faiths shared by Mexicans and Americans place a very high importance on following religious teachings that preach against theft and for…

    In his Farewell Address, George Washington advised the nation against foreign affairs. It is plainly obvious that America did not heed Washington’s warning, as the onslaught of international world wars, among other things, forces the United States to interfere. America often plays the part of the “big brother” when it comes to national conflicts. The U.S. is revered by other countries, recognized as a powerful ally and a devastating enemy. Some historians and moral philosophers claim that it is America’s democratic duty to abandon the policy of isolationism and secure the liberty of the U.S. by fighting when necessary.…

    For instance, Mexico only offers private schools and public schools. Divided into elementary school which is first to sixth grade, then junior high school. Junior high is grades seven to nine, and high school is grades ten to twelve. Whereas, America offers public, charter, and private schools. Home schooling is another type of schooling. First through fifth grade is elementary. Sixth through eight is middle school. Then high school is grades ninth to twelve. Another example Mexican and American differ in education is the grading scale. Number system is used in Mexico instead of the letter system. Ten being the best, six barely passing. Five meaning you failed the course. Yet in America, the letter system is used. A meaning a successful pass, D being a poorly pass. F meaning the course was…
