Money vs Justice

On March 17, 2009 Denisse Fimbres Oquita and Victor Quiroz Beltrones were killed by Fernando Noriega Soto at Bahia de Kino. Denisse and Victor were camping in the beach when Fernando, who was driving in an alcoholic state run over them.
It has been a year since the dead of Denisse and Victor but is still I tragic story that we will always remember and have present. It’s incredible how having power and money can make a difference when you are involved in a crime. When the accident happen every single evidence and witness was hidden. The families new about their sun’s and daughter’s dead almost 12 hours later. Imagine what they felt about. What would have felt if nobody tell you what had happen? Let me tell you that I was frustrating not knowing anything. When Victor’s brother, Carlos Quiroz, finally arrive to the police station, Fernando Noriega was already being asses by a lawyer. It was obviously that something was going wrong. Everything that happen was changed in order to make Fernando Noriega an innocent person. When the accident was published in the newspaper, the story was completely changed. What the newspaper said that Fernando’s car got stucked in the sand and when he finally was able to move he accidentally run over the tent where Denisse and Victor were sleeping. Bullshiit ! it was a total controversy. How can it be possible that just because you are rich and know important people you are able to make your son free of any fault?
The families of Denisse and Victor wanted to know the truth, they wanted the truth to be published, they wanted justice. It took like a month after the accident for the truth to come a light. Fernando Noriega went to jail for less than a year. Even though he is free from jail, I’m sure he is not free of culprit and he will have to live with that. i don’t wish him any bad but I hope the death of Denisse and Victor is not in vane. I hope that what happen help create conscious in Fernando and in other people who drive in an alcoholic state. I also hope that authorities take more serious their work. They are there to make justice not to accept extra money you know what I mean. And I also hope the same that Fimbres and Quiroz family hopes too: Thet this never happens again

Feminine Power

It is funny that a lot of my feminine classmates have already written about “feminism.” I really don’t understand why this emphasis on this topic is. I mean, I don’t know why suddenly people resumed the feminism topic. I completely agree with this. I consider myself very feminist, and this since I started hanging out with Michelle JAJAJA!! Women do not necessarily need to be obedient, we must be independent.

While I was doing research for the final project relating to Iran, I read a lot of interesting notes. I read about Iranian discrimination of women. In Iran, women have no right to neither participate in political issues nor express their opinions. Mexican women should feel proud and affortunated of the right and opportunities that we as human beings posses. Even though there is still some discrimination towards women because they are considered the weak sex, this issue is imporoving markedly.

This days, women are taking part in every social and political area. Women are no more repressed in Mexico or in the United States. We can see this strongly reflected in the political area. For example, who was competing with Obama for the American presidency? Hillary Clinton. She was nearly to win the elections, and she was a woman. Imagine what would of happen if a women wins the elections for the precidency in any country? This would be something memorable.

Every one should support the participation of women in every aspect. Women can contribute with new, better, and innovative ideas to improve society and solve problems. It is scientifically proved that women are much more intelligent than men JAJAJA!! So.. why don’t they take into account women’s contributions seriously? Lets make this serious and remark that women and men are equal.

Remember that… “Behind every successful man is a surprised woman” by Maryon Pearson

Where the state comes from?

The state is a group of institutions to organize a country economically, politically and socially. The most important institution is the government which makes the most important decisions. There are several theories that try to explain where the origin from the organization from the state comes from. In them are included the force theory (desire from a small group), evolutionary theory (comes from the family), divine right theory, and social contract theory (people decided it by a contract).

I think that state was form by divine right theory because since the ancient civilizations they really appreciated the gods. They considered them as the major power, I think that they felt protected or saw them as the invincible people. With this they started the belief of the god choosing the rulers, they classified that person as the leader and he was able to give orders to people that were not chosen by god. With this, I think that then the power was given to members of the same family, making them kings or queen. And as we know, there were people from different social classes.

I think that after they realized that there was a ruler who controlled others they wanted other to be the leaders. So they tried to modify creating other types of governments. They decided to choose their leaders, and they try to gain more power. That is how I think the story of power distribution was created.

Abuse vs. Wanting ??

Have you ever noticed the difference between abusing power and wanting power in the government? This is a very pollemic question that many people wonder.

According to the oxford dictionary, "want" is the action of desiring something and "abuse" is an action considered unjust, corrupt or wrongful practice or custom.

The most important action that the abuse of power takes people to do is an unlawful act, which done in an official capacity, affecting the performance of official duties.

Well, I think that people cannot have everything they want, so they must look for the most affordable alternatives to get it, and one of this alternatives may be corruption. Therefore, I think that the wanting of power and the abuse of power would consequently go together.

When a political leader wants/desires to have all the power, he would probably do actions that are considered illegal to get to it. I would call to these actions abuse because I think they are the same as the actions that an opportunist would do.

However, there could be some few cases in which a person who want the power would not surely practice abuse to get to it. There are some honest people who really want to help the country, so they really want to have the power. The actions that these people would do are for example promising things that are possible to carry out, or make things in order to catch the perspective of the citizens.

On the other hand, I have to accept that most of our politicians have get to power through abuse and corruption, which for me are synonyms. Most of our leaders have get to power by promising us a lowering of taxes, enough water with a low price, no more crimes or corruption, a well education for all, respect of each of the rights established in the constitution, and lots of other promises that they NEVER BECOME TRUE.

Aren't you tired of hearing and hearing and never seeing? Aren't you tired of the strong adiction of some people of wanting an abusing to get to power? Aren't you tired of the big difference of social classes? Aren't you tired of seeing that all the politicians and their relatives can do and have wahtever they want?

I think these is enough. We should open our eyes and call for action. We need to have a change in our government.
