EDUCATION IN USA AND MEXICO.


Outline:


Paragraph 1: Introduction



Paragraph 2: Installations (Types of buildings)




Paragraph 3: School facilities




Paragraph 4: Teachers and their techniques.




Paragraph 5: Conclusion



























Education in USA and Mexico


Undoubtedly the education is a crucial factor that facilitates the social and economical development in any country. Education means the opportunity of cross the boundaries of the lag. The purpose of this essay is to show the vision of the education in both countries talking about elementary school and also comment the three important aspects that make very different the education in USA and Mexico. The three main differences are: The installations, facilities in the school and finally the teacher and the techniques that they apply in the classroom.

The aspect that all the world can notice about education in these countries are the installations. Firstly in USA all the elementary schools are modern, comfortable taking about furniture and classrooms and big also is important to mention that in USA all the states have the enough school that cover perfectly the demand for it students. On the other hand in Mexico most of the school are very old, obviously it furniture are also old and the classrooms are commonly in bad conditions. In addition the schools are small and there are not in some parts of the country that means lack of opportunities for the Mexican citizens in scholar age.

Another important aspect that has close relationship with the previous paragraph, are the facilities that we can find in the elementary schools of both countries. Talking about USA as a result of the modernity of it elementary schools, all it schools have well equipped in science laboratories, gym with the necessary gym gear, in order to the students develop satisfactorily their physical abilities and one especial classroom for each educational purpose. In contrast in Mexico as I mention the lack of modernity in the classrooms, in the schools of Mexico there are not science laboratories, the place where the students practice sports are a open place that does not promote the development of their physical abilities, because sometimes there are only the place and there is not the necessary material for practicing sports and one classroom is turn on multiple purpose classroom for lack of space.

Comparing these aspects, another aspect that it is very important to mention is the teacher techniques that the teachers of USA and Mexico apply in the classroom. In USA the teacher promotes the independent thinking of the students, the students know how research and form conclusions from their researches The students look for the best way of learning according to their necessities and develop their critical think by themselves. The teacher just acts as a guide not as a director of the scholar activities. On the contrary in Mexico the teacher does not promote the independent thinking from the students, In Mexico since elementary school the students dislike to research and it is very hard for them to find conclusions, because the teachers in this scholar grade act as providers of the information and directors of the activities in the classroom.

As a conclusion, it is important to mention that the education is the main tool for the successful development of one country. Obviously the differences shown in this essay will widen our view about that. Each country can improve their educational system according to their necessities and goals. It is very sad that in our country happens this respect to the education, for this reason it is very important work hardly everyday in order to improve our schools and provide to our students the elemental opportunities for their personal development something that in the future our country will thanks.

NEWS information or manipulation

News Information or Manipulation”


Do you think that all the news by television, newspapers or internet is completely true? Long time ago, we have been manipulated by TV news in newspapers or by internet, some of them are true, but most of the times the real content of each new are exaggerated the purposes of that can be various like government manipulation(for hiding economic or serious social problems in a country). According to this the media takes advantage of that for keeping a high ratting publishing and transmitting lies. For this reason is important to have an objective view about the events that are happening around the world.

The impact of a new is something that undoubtedly disturbs the pace of a place or a person. Nowadays is very common that TV news, news papers or the internet manipulated the information in order to have to everybody attend about their TV programs or buy the newspapers, this is something that would be considerate like illegal practice of Journalism, because everybody has like unique source of information the TV news, newspapers which modify the information according to their interests increasing the stress and creating panic using in bad way the new information.

Other aspect that the media are practicing is the concealing of information; sometimes the objective is hide bad economic handles by the government, in other situations the importance and seriousness of the social problems can not be published in any way. This is something very serious because we as citizens have the right of being well informed. According to the magazine Newsweek the 45% of newspapers around the world edit their information until 60% and we as readers of these newspapers only know the 40% of the true. According to the global warming foundation (2001), the news about this serious problem of the planet is the main new that TV news and newspapers do not publish for avoiding panic in the world, something that is very stupid because, if they really practicing the real Journalism, they must feel the obligation of publish the true in this way everybody would take a position about the problem.

About the way that the media publish the problems are also manipulation about that, because sometimes the it is impossible to hide the information and the TV news and mainly newspapers tone down or change the name to big problems, in this way the society accept the events with out comments or like something very normal when really is something serious. This kind of manipulation is the most common nowadays, because now everybody has access to the information through many ways and the media hide sometimes horrible things with a soft or nice new name. According to the New York Times (May, 2009) Mexico is one of the countries around the world, where the practice of Journalism on well know and famous sources of information are the worst, considerate like filthy because not it is real information and the Journalism is the best way for concealing illegal acts.

As a conclusion it is important to take into consideration, that probably all the things that are happening around the world are obviously true but the impact, the importance and seriousness of each one can be received for the people according the source that they see or read. No is good generalize about the media, but nowadays the manipulation of the news is something that the channels of TV news and editorials of each newspaper see like a good business even more profitable than the gain that they receive for advertising.
