Assignment One Olivas

1.) The aspect of the Mexican culture that I find disturbing is the fact that the police are involved in the kidnappings and crimes that are taking place. The police are suppose to be in charge of the crimes and help protect the world from terrorists, robbers, murderers, and killers but instead they are involved. I also find it disturbing that the family paid $6 million to get their kid back but the kidnappers decided to kill him. Why does the governement allow the police to become involved in the kidnappings? How come there are so many deaths due to kidnapping taking place in Mexico right now?
2.) The involvement of the Mexican Federal Police doesn't change my mind about Mexico at all because I have been going down there recently at least once every year for vacation with my family. I have been to Mexico 6 different times with my family. Each vacation lasted between 1 week to 2 weeks. I have been to Cabo, Cancun, Cozumel, Paradiseus, and Barcelo. I enjoy going down to Mexico because I think its fun ands its a good way to help me improve my spanish. One specific time when I went to Cancun, I decided to go to the city with my parents and everywhere I went I saw homeless people sitting around the streets. I thought it was extremely sad and I felt bad for all of them. I wanted to try and help them, but there wasn't much I could do at the time.
3.) I would fear living in Mexico because you really can't count on anyone to help you out in a time of need or crisis. The people who may be helping you could be the police who are involved with the crime. The kidnappings in Mexico and 9/11 are two different situations. The kidnappings were attacks in the same country and on the same people who have been living there before. Many of the terrorists were trying to get as much money as they could for kidnapping children whose families are extremely rich. 9/11 was an attack by al-Qaeda upon the United States. Terrorsits took control and completely ruined the World Trade Center Buildings by hijaking the planes. Some of the most explanable reasons 9/11 happened were because Osama Bin Laden had been involved with the CIA recently, the humiliation of Islam, U.S. foreign and economic policies, and immigration.
