Eight Factors Of Irony And Complexity: Influence Upon Cycles In Mexican History
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. Much like Murphy's Law by virtue of its facilitating effect for change but at the same time more comprehensive in nature, the eight factors of irony and complexity have proven to be an instrumental force in the formation and subsequent progress - or failure - of man's entire growth and transformation as a species. While Murphy's Law is based upon what people have already experienced and therefore warn against, the eight factors of irony and complexity serve as the precursor for those events prior to man's ability to experience either the consequences or benefit of said event. Mexican history is no stranger to this truth, with corn playing an integral role in myriad cycles. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Ethnocentrism/Mexican-American Experience
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page essay that examines 2 texts and their historical perspective on Mexican American experience. Ethnocentrism is defined as the tendency to evaluate all other groups of people according to the values, standards and cultural traditions of one's own group. In other words, ethnocentrism connotes the idea that the way a particular society acts, believes, worships, and lives is the one "right" way and all others are perceived as "pagan," "primitive," or simply "wrong." Racism and bigotry find their roots in ethnocentrism and while racism is acknowledged in contemporary Western society as wrong, the roots of ethnocentrism are much harder to eradicate. This is shown by the scholarship of Rodolfo Acuna and Miguel Leon-Portillo and their accounts of classical indigenous and early mesoamerican history. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

Galarza & Acuna/Mexican Immigration
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page research paper/essay that discusses 2 books by these authors. Authors Rodolfo Acuna (Occupied America, 2000) and Ernesto Galarza (Barrio Boy, 1971) both discuss the centrality of Mexican immigration to American history and progress, but they do so from different perspectives that each shed light on Mexican immigrant experience. Acuna focuses on the role of Mexican immigrant labor to the success of agricultural endeavors in the US Southwest and how this contributed significantly to American prosperity. Galarza's book, as an autobiography, is a more personal account that reveals the route that naturalized Mexican-Americans have been compelled to follow in order to achieve success in the US.
