Voting Matters: Mexico

Adrian Perez


Mexico entire system has always been complicated. With many different elected officials being corrupted, not necessarily the president, but some of their officials. It is safe to say for some time, he country of Mexico has been corrupted. For many time they have had the money to be able to control the news medias, putting in at least a few million to change the way they are viewed. As of right now, the President of Mexico is Enrique Pena Nieto, he has been the president for almost six years. He was not eligible for the 2019 presidential term so the next president will be Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador. The voting system is semi-similiar to ours. The people vote for a president for a six year term. No president can be eligable for the second term so after the six years its over. All the elections in Mexico are no- incubenr.  Now talking about the voting system in Mexico, like i said before its corrupted. Many of them use their higher power to be able to keep that power. Voting definatlety matters, especially if people domt like the way the legal system is operating, they can vote to at least try and make a difference. Like many of people have said, your vote counts. No matter if the system is against, your vote counts and matters. So does your voice, not many of the people in Mexico like using their voice because of stereotypes, but they do.

The Education Gap

Read an article on a racial issue in America from the last five years, whether it is from an American newspaper or a foreign paper looking at American issues.  Briefly summarize the article information and then respond with what your evaluation as to what is going on, how it is being treated by the press, or anything else that you would like to say about it. The Education Gap Between Whites and African Americans In the United States:  Although we have changed our laws in the years since lawful segregation, the legacy that segregation has left lives on in the present day United States. This is particularly evident in the way we regard education, and even after integration there is still a large gap that lives between the way we education white children and the way we educate African American children. Many of the differences in this lie in the qualification and quality of teachers and curriculum and the contrasts in funding that resides in our school systems. It...

Where voting matters - El Salvador

Ashwin Dev Mr. Roddy IHSS 24 October 2018 Where Voting Matters - El Salvador The Salvadoran presidential elections are going to be held on February 4, 2019 with a second round in March if no candidate wins an outright majority. El Salvador has a limit for a single 5-year term which means that the current president,  Sánchez Cerén  will not be able to run for this election. This election is different from most in the past due to the new political parties law, which says that a single candidate from each party must be chosen before the date of the election. The two parties at the moment are apart of El Salvador's multi-party system which include the National Republic Alliance (ARENA, right wing) and the Farabundo Mart í National Liberation Front (FMLN, left wing) as well as 2 other new parties.  Arena has been out of power since 2009 however they have chosen a man named Carlos Calleja to represent them. Calleja is a 42 year old businessman who owns a chain of sup...

Sharing Economy- Luke

Luke Kirchner       After much thinking, I have realized that sharing economies can be created from almost anything. I decided to make create something about sharing home decor. This would include things like paintings, ornaments and other small things to decorate your house. One challenging thing that would need to be sorted out, would be the value of the objects. Art is very subjective and can be valued very differently by other people. The market would have to establish it self to truly assign a price to different pieces. This would be a great way to make some money off of pieces of art that usually aren't seen and this would allow the renter to spruce up their house.       An app would be used to connect people and would ask for necessary information. This would probably be more localized, so people could drive over and pick up, or vice-versa. Some sort of insurance/waiver would also have to be part of the process, to ensure the rente...
