American Youth vs Mexican Youth
American and Mexican youth have many views, both similar and different, on important current day issues. Some of the major issues discussed were the environment, marriage, relationships and friendships, abortion, religion, goals and aspirations. My predictions for the Mexican youth's views were based upon different stereotypes, which were substantially wrong. Although many issues are debatable, I was surprised at how many resources they had, and how much it affected their everyday lives. As an American youth, I am lucky to live in an environment that is not excessively abused. I cannot ponder what it is like to live in Mexico City. Where one of the everyday issues is the massive amount of pollution, they have and produce. The pollution is terrible because Mexico City is located in a valley, and has an excessive amount of factories. Many Mex
Mexican youth have many major decisions early in their life. That it is illegal except in certain circumstances, like rape. This is really different for American youth. Abortion is a highly debatable issue in the world. American youth has many similar goals. I was wrong; Mexico is in the top fifteen countries for contracting AIDS. In addition, they have a low percent of divorces in Mexico, fewer than ten percent. The thought that going outside can be life threatening is hard to comprehend. Many youth, both American and Mexican, have the same views about abortion. To my surprise, most of them wanted to attend a college in America and play a sport for that college. Some of the youth don't plan on going to college, some of them just want to get a job and get married. Although they have free college in Mexico, the school systems in America are more prestigious. One prediction that I had for the Mexican youth was that they were not as informed about STD's. One thing that is in common with Mexican youth is the motivation to make Earth a cleaner place to live. The youth in Mexico have many goals.
