Sadness ooor Shame, or BOTH?
Coalition PAN-PRD in Sinaloa with a candidate Príista!
This summer we will have elections in different states of Mexico. One of them is Sinaloa. In it there are 2 main strong parties: PRI and then PAN. But due to the power of PRI and its contender, PAN has made an alliance with PRD; which is almost to be official. The thing here to talk about is how PAN can join PRD, when this two parties are extremely different. PAN is from he right thoughts and PRD is a left (izquierdista). May be we all think it is for a good for the people, to help; to solve problems; etc... But the real thing is that it is not.
Why? Because this alliance is just made to gain the political position and the power. How can I know that? Because Mario Lopez Valdez was 2 weeks ago, a Senator of PRI; which because in his party they didn't let him be the contender that represents PRI, he is with a whim of being. So he went to PAN, first; and then PAN join PRD. What they are doing it's not illegal or breaks a formal rule of the competition, but instead; they are breaking many PRINCIPLES, values, and ideals-in this case "MALOVA"(senator) is breaking the ones of PRI. Because when you enter a party is because you agree and you will respect those principles. You support them...
Well, MALOVA change of party, just for being the contender for the Election. If he was doing this without breaking the principles and violating his party, all will be okay. But because he wasn't the candidate of PRI, by "x" reason... he change with the party that is different in ideals and in principles, and not even that; they made an alliance with PRD.
What all these that is happening in Sinaloa, let me to think is... our candidates, our politicians-as MALOVA for example- are they searching and fighting to represent us and to help the society? or they just want to be voted in order to get power, money and the position? What MALOVA and other politicians are making know, with this unexpected alliances and changes of parties, is sad in somehow; and also make me reflect... if MALOVA really want to be a GOVERNOR or just a man with power?!

Increase in the Price of Gas' Cilinders in Mexico

According to what we saw in class, inflation is the causant of this increase in prices. When inflation occurs prices tend to increase due primarily, because there are excedents, I think. Plus these, all is increasing. That's why it is called inflation, everything increases. Costs of productions, materials, distribution costs, etc... so because everything needed to produce increases, the price of the final product has to be increased. In Mexico, we can see that all methods and forms of doing things are more expensive; because of different factors (crisis, etc). This is letting to a general increase of prices-INFLATION-. The thing is that the inflation in Mexico, should not be shown in this basic products. May be the government and enterprises could make some plans and arrangements in order of lowing the prices of this specific products. It can be possible that to compensed inflation, they increase other not so basic products; and those that are basic and vital, do not increase.
I am continue thinking that this whole matter of economy, inflation, crisis... can be solved very easily. Just that the difficult thing is politics. This is happening because of bad political desisions, that affect economic ones. They are based more on the personal interests and benefits than in the country's. They should be working more on desisions that help economy, may be we need to sacrificed money or goods, in order to stable our situation; but it is needed. We have to sacrifice in order to win.!
Another Earthquake, now in Chile!
This morning the world wake up with terrible news, an earthquake in Chile. This was a sism of 8.8 degrees, the 6th worst in the history of humanity. There are aprroximately 122 deaths, and many damages.

It seems that the story of Haiti is repeating, in many senses, it is the same. Luckly, in this eartquake there are less deaths and damaged people, but this doesn't mean it was nothing. It is a terrible disaster and huge damage to the country in all manners.
The different and new thing is that, currently, Chile ellected his new president-who will take possession on MArch 11, I think. So many questions appear... Will Chile Government will be as the Haiti one, not capable to raise up? Will the inminent change of government and powers, led authorities and Chile to raise up and care with this tragedy? In these next days, we will see how both governments, the currrent and the new one, work; and if they are capable of managing this disaster and situation. Also the political and economical life of Chile, will be prooved. If they can work together for the good of the country, then they will be having a good political situation. Plus, they have to look and manage the economical situation of the country.
I hope that the citizens and the governments, join efforts in order to beat this tragedy! I also hope that the politicians really join and see for the good of people, without mattering any political or economic differences.
We should help them!

Water Problem in Hermosillo

Scarcity: Good or Bad?
As we all know, scarcity is a huge global problem that affects people in many forms. But talking about another point of scarcity we can see it as a good thing.
Logiclly, scarcity is bad because it is something that affects and damages people and its world. But if we take another point of view may be it can be not that bad. I will explain this with an example.
Currently, Hermosillo is living scarcity. Why? Because there is no water to support the population and the bussinesses. Due to this we have a bad situation in all matters, so we can say that Scarcity is bad for us. Now, if we analyze the situation we can notice that because of the problem many people is starting to talk, and the government to give ideas and programs in order to solve the problem. The thing here is that this problem is giving us an opportunity to change, to improve our city and our society. Yes, scarcity is bad and harmful; but eventhough it damages, it can also helps us; because with the problem the government can look for the best solutions for its city and its people, and more important it can make that people start to care about things, about resources, about water.
Scarcity is really bad, but may be it is necessary in order to make people change and take care about the problems and about all things. As a friend wrote in the blog, if we could have all perfectly, the world will never change or improve. Because there's no reason to. But with scarcity and with problems, it is prooved that people changes and starts making things in order to improve and have the less possible problems. This means that a problem give us many bad things, but they open many windows of opportunities. Opportunities that if we take them and make them, the world will improve and the problem will be over or decreased.
We have to change the way of looking problems. I know they are bad, scarcity is. But we need to think that problems have a reason of being; which is to help and to change or improve the world. Without problems we couldn't have solutions, which are essential in human life. Because thanks to many solutions in history, we are what we are. We looked for solutions in a problem, that plus solving the problem, they also make us change and improve.
So Scarcity is good or bad? Or better yet, how can we convert it to a good and positive thing? If we solve the problem with the best solutions and actions, we are making Scarcity a good thing.

Mexico's Bicentenario Celebration of History
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?
Political Desicions influenced by Politics, not by the people desires
Caused by the recently deaths, murders, and narcos; the governor of Chihuahua decided to move all the 3 powers into Cd. Juarez to be closer to the city problems and situation. This, by logic, is a political desicion but it also invo
lves the social context and other subjects of social sciences, such as, law; history; physochology. Why? Because if they decide to move the powers to Cd. Juarez (which is not the capital) they are including other subjects of the social sciences.
For example, it involves law; because the congress have to aprooved the demand in order to move the powers through the legal way. It is also an event that includes history, because since many time ago, powers had been moved from the capital city of a state.(so the social scientists will have to analyze the consequences.). And at last it involves the physochology field, because it can be analized, based on the human and individual behavior of the governors.
So in conclusion of the article, In order to move the powers to Juarez, it has to be aprooved by the congress(POLITICS involved).
Now, my personal opinion is that the final decision has to be made based on a scientific method that the social scientists will make, as we saw in class. This method will look by being physocologists and studying history, the best solutions in order to solve this matter; always looking for hyphotesis and experimenting a possible result. Obviously the Social Scientists don't decide, but in this case, I am calling the Congressmen= Social Scientists. Because for my opinion, in order to proove a law, they have to look into possible pros, consequences, situations, etc... (what in few words is using the Scientific Method of Social Sciences.)
This is only a political decision, of a million in the world, that have to see with people.(Social Aspects). What I think, is that the politics or people in charge of deciding should use the scientific method, in some way, in order to find the best solutions and laws to solve problems.

Lack of Water in Hermosillo
One of the latest classes of the first partial, we talked about the global issues and we listed many of them. One of them, was the lack of natural resources. I want to talk about them because is something that is affecting our city. The only difference is that the resource is water.
As we know we live in a desert region, so water tends to be scarce.
Currently, the government is searching for a solution and I hope that they find the best one, that benefits all its citizens. The point is that this lack of water at Hermosillo is a global Issue, but also involves Economics; because it is related to how the government will distribute the Service.
I chose to write about this, because it is a global issue very common and talked among Hermosillo Citizens, and it is a matter that involves all its people. This is one part of the issue, the political and social effects. But also it involves the Economics' science so it is really interesting to comment this events. We are noticed of what is happening in terms of resources in the city, and in terms, of the politics/governments decisions.
I would like to say that we all have to raise our voice, and propose or ask about the solutions. It is a matter that includes political, economical and social decisions; that later will have consequences in our lives, either good or bad.
Garbage Classification Program in Hermosillo
Basicly, the article talks about the new way of recolecting garbage in our city. The man in charge of the department, told the reporter that it will be the same truck, but the new thing will be the routes. As an example, he said that in the majority of the city the truck will pass 2 times per week and in some Private Colonies, three.
The first visit of the week, we should give them the organic garbage, and the second; we will give them both (organic and inorganic). In few words, Hermosillo citizens will have to classify garbage in Organic and Inorganic.

I consider this a really good new for us because we are going to be an ecologycal city, in some way. I think it is the beggining of many actions that can and have to be made, about the ecologycal purposes. Also Hermosillo needed these, since before; but no body set the program, until now.
I hope it really works, and more important; that we as citizens be compromised to this program, and classify the garbage as organic, inorganic, etc.
We need to be updated in matters of ecology, and to care about it. As we talk in the classes about issues, actions, and solutions, "Ecology Problems: Garbage's issue" are currently Global Issues that are affecting our Hermosillo, so we have to activate the solutions we'd planned to beat this issue, and have a better place to live. I hope it works! Good Program!
