Mexico Dia Sesenta Dos
School. El medio ambiente.
The power of the city/people in Mexico. Mexico is a unique country, the goverment has little power over its people. A little while ago the state of michoacan build centers where people would be required to take there cars. Similar to the smog check in California. The problem was that each check would cost 120 pesos and was mandatory. The people of Michoacan were outraged at the fact that they would have to pay. Generaly, there is a dislike for giving money to the government in Mexico. The people of Michoacan simply did not take there cars to be checked. The government, with a small and corrupt police force, and bigger concerns decided to close down the locations. According to my society teacher this is part of the reason Mexico has failed to develop from a non-axis one country into a developed pais. It is also the reason so many pirated good and illegal goods can be sold in open markets.
Speaking of pirated good, there is a very funny comercial when you go to the theatres in Mexico. A women comes home with a pirated movie and her daughter says "that's stealing isn't it." The mother says no. Then her son comes by and heads for the door. She asks him were he is going because he has a tests tomorrow. He says "it's ok I bought the answers to the test." The add ends as the camera pans out on the mothers grim face. It is so serious and ridiculous that it makes you laugh.
Donde esta mi criada? My maid was not in the house, so we made our own food. Her mother had gotten sick so she had to take the day off. After lunch I went to el centro to study and meet some friends.
