My view on the Bicentennial Hello again. Well, and I'm here again with a new post. and as given that national holidays are approaching, it gave me to do a post about what I think of the whole thing on the Bicentennial celebrations of the Independence and Centennial of the Revolution. Well, some things I say are taken up by some other blogs and others as I share the same view, and apart from what I think of it.
Starting first by the fact that my point of view rather than a celebration is a commemoration. Commemoration of those heroes, both known and those who are not so much as those who remained anonymous, if not forgotten and who gave their lives and played the whole by all for freedom of others.
Each year, every September 16 and November 20 each, we always emphasize that there is to celebrate national holidays, and it is everywhere, at school, on the street, on TV, radio, internet, etc. And now in 2010, as many have noted, all media with commercials bombadean we have the word " Bicentennial." Here are some examples: "Bicentennial Soccer Tournament" , " Bicentennial package" , "Mobile X Bicentennial edition of" , "promotion of the Bicentennial" , etc. Which makes me think that the media always hang something even a country celebration to promote their products and taking into account that many of these companies are originally from other countries.
compare not come to do bad or anything, just have to be critical of what surrounds us and know what we like and those without.
Now, 200 years after the nation was declared independent, the question is: are we really independent? Nationally speaking, independent means that a country does not need another to survive, or in other words, it seeks to be free from authoritarianism to which it is submitted by a country "superior." Over the years, many countries have had to wean other, of course in different ways and from different countries, USA from England, Brazil, Portugal, etc ... One of the most recognized forms of independence worldwide was that of Gandhi and his policy of non-violence with which its independence from her native India.
Anyway, returning to our Mexico and celebrations, these days many people would say "to be celebrated, or like what I have to celebrate?" "With this unemployment, this insecurity, this violence, the corruption there is nothing to celebrate" .
Well, my point of view, what is celebrated, or rather what is commemorated as I said earlier, it is the heroes who then fought for freedom and justice (that sounded half geek lol). Unlike those corrupt politicians who want to give you the very patriotic advertising. And I clarify, I come not support any political party or anything.
Returning to the other, many of us seem to mention uncomfortable and always hear about all the problems that exist in our country, corruption, insecurity, unemployment, and drug trafficking. Also have noticed, the reader will bombarean with depressing news as "They executed many people in a restaurant or " many prisoners escaped from the prison as ", to say nothing of newspapers cutting tabloid and horrifying pictures that I think the same and win a prize for Gore Photography, eh, Metro Newspaper?.
Sadly the media only care about to be sold on the basis of morbidity in the sensationalist news and gossip that nobody is interested, instead of giving more importance to things that they really can be useful.
One thing that almost no media mention that it is very worrying, is on the decline of values \u200b\u200bin our society, starting from childhood, many have seen children and young people starting with the troubled life, consumption drugs, prostitution among other things much worse. The worst thing is that many of the things that make children always come home if Dad littering in the street, the child also. If dad teaches him to lie to his son, the child is a liar. If the father beats his wife or his child, the child hit his classmates. That is, children will always imitate what they see, and too over the years has been that if children become ill is the fault of television, friends, video games. etc. When reality is that children are never taught him an education and a vision between what people are good company and what not, the difference between fantasy and reality, and so on. Values \u200b\u200band education are at home and as the saying "Education Mama" . Something very
is recognized that not everything is bad in Mexico, our country is quite good and worthy things to be proud, we are a country vast in culture, as in the case of cultures of ancient Mesoamerica, their indigenous languages , its architectural buildings, including the Pyramid of Kukulkan and considered one of the 7 wonders of the world, etc. Gastronomy and traditional large and delicious dishes are world Reconco. We are rich in biodiversity, both animal and plant species. We also have a vast repertoire in music, not just the Mariachi unfortunately many take it as a stereotype even here in Mexico. But hey, we have the Mariachi, norteño, Son Jarocho, Hispanic music, Huapango, among others. And of course could not fail to mention many of our traditions, one of them the "Day of the Dead." And more than anything is why, we must be proud, for the wonderful things you have this great country and we must teach our children to know them and who can appreciate as some majestic everything we have in our beautiful country.
Well, this post here. Greetings and thanks for taking the time to read.
