Politics
Mexican Government
The Zapatistas are a group of rebels fighting for property rights, land reforms, and cultural acceptance in Mexico. They took their name from the legendary Mexican freedom fighter, Emiliano Zapata. They have made the diachronic transition from a dissident movement to a legitimate political force entirely because of the Mexican government, who made martyrs of forty-five peasants in a massacre in 1997. These were Zapatistas and their supporters, and it enraged the country. This legitimized the Zapatistas and their cause, and showed the government to be inflexible and devious because they had promised to work on the problems of land reform that the Zapatistas asked for. From a diachronic perspective, the group has grown and matured, and in doing so, has become a legitimate political force in Mexico.
B. 1. Mexico-U.S. migration has several causes. Mexicans come to the U.S. To better themselves. Most young men in Mexico have little chance of employment, and they see life in the U.S. As a chance they do not have in Mexico. This causes a synchronic relationship between the U.S. And Mexico as this political issue binds them on common ground, creating the synchronic relationship between them. Mexico must do more to create jobs and economic growth to keep her young people at home, because the implications of emigration on both countries are staggering. Hispanics are now the fastest growing minority in the country, and most of them have come from Mexico. These emigrants are taxing the social systems of the country, especially in Border States like California and Texas, and Mexico is losing an entire generation of young men, which can only cripple the country in the long run. Mexico is a land of poor people, and the government must work to create better living conditions, better jobs, and a vibrant economy to turn the country and the people around.

Zapatistas The essence of Zapatista philosophy and action is the discovery of a new order of revolution. In the wake of failures of other socialist movements from Lenin to in Russia to the Sandinistas in Nicaragua, the small group of Mayan farmers in southwestern Mexico contend not only with reconstructing revolutionary tactics but also with the massive opposition from dominant governments, including those in Mexico and the United States. Governments that
Anthropology Andean Indigenous Interest and Rights regarding the Politics of the Amazon In today's society, there is a tremendous need for global initiatives to support biodiversity, conservation and the protection of nature, as well as the culture of local inhabitants, especially those living in the Amazon.

This, of course, would represent one aspect of the resentment served to Salinas. The other aspect would be the significant impact of the economic crisis and the continued devaluation of the Peso. These things reflected on the ineptitude of a party seldom challenged as it should have been. To most, the failures effecting the whole of the nation had marked the need for a hastening of democratic reform, which would
57). Ironically, this method of containment failed: being tied to the national party raised rather than inhibited the political awareness of tribes such as the Tojolabal. In the 1950s and the 1960s, the programs of the National Indigenous Institute (INI) continued the official assimilationist policy of the Mexican government. A debate raged as to the question if traditional ways of life could or should be preserved, while Mexico strove to 'advance'
