Mexico's Bicentenario Celebration of History

Bicentenario of Independence, and Centenario of Revolution should be celebrated? or Should they be analyzed/studied/interpreted? or

We all mexicans now that this September will be our 200 hundred years old birthday, and all the society (including politics, economics, media) are making activities and programs to have a really big "Celebration." But my question is do we really need to celebrate? Are Televisa, TVAzteca, President celebrating or approaching of the situation to raise up many things?

Well, I think both of them. First of all, they are celebrating and gaining money and fame with it. Supposely they are celebrating historic events, our History. But I think these can be an excess.

First, we are not doing what History means. History, to social's; means to study, analyze, and interpret the recorded material or recorded history. So I think, it would be better for the President and Enterprises to be wasting money in studies that show why we were like that, or better yet; WHY WE ARE LIKE TODAY's? That's the purpose of history, to know the past and interpret it, to may be can know something of the present. I agree that we have to celebrate our fights but I think it has to be less. It would be better that WE celebrate our 200 hundred years by being a better country, and starting making real LAWS, POLITICAL DECISIONS, ECONOMICS RULES, that help in big way our country and society. This 2 reasons, are strong and can be the truth and the best option, but again; the politics and economics are based not in their social science definition, instead they are based on the interests of some.

Finally, when I knew about this big celebration of Mexico, in some form I became happy and honored( because of my country). But know I am happy, yes; but I'm sad that instead of giving Mexico a real gift (laws, rules, values, economics laws that help us) they waste time and money celebrating.
Do we really deserve the celebration? Do putting, in action, laws that help the country and its people are the right things?

May be political and economical situations have to be better, in order to CELEBRATE... We should consider the situation. Is it time for celebrations? or for Action?

We have to ask for good politics and economics! We have to be aware of the way, they decide. Are they basing the solutions in Social Sciences?
