How has the Mexican government historically treated indigenous peoples?

WITCHER [35]

Answer:

Dont worry it is in my own words, so no plagiarism unless you need to cite then comment.

Explanation:

Indigenous culture is known as the centre of Mexican society. Mexico is proud of its ancient Maya and Aztec temples and its indigenous dances, crafts and markets, which make a major contribution to the tourist attractiveness of the region. Successive governments have professed a willingness to incorporate indigenous people into Mexican society since the 1910-20 revolution. Formed in 1946 under the Ministry of Education, the Autonomous Department of Native Affairs started a programme to teach indigenous children Spanish. The negative outcome of these projects, however, has been the promotion of an assimilation paradigm for indigenous peoples, which has devalued indigenous languages, cultures and autonomy.

Officially, the indigenous peoples of Mexico are protected by human rights law. In order to promote dialogue with indigenous groups, the government's National Indigenous Institute has offices around the country, and government statements are careful to consider the principle of cultural diversity. Nevertheless, there have been claims that the institute is patronizing in its approach towards indigenous people and merely a token initiative of the government, while its workers have also been vigorous supporters of indigenous peoples and have even been persecuted as a result.

The Mexican government founded the National Commission of Human Rights in 1990 in an attempt to protect people from human rights violations, receiving reports of abuses at the federal and state levels. This department, however, has been criticized for failing to take on cases of grievous violations of rights, causing many indigenous leaders and advocates of rights to doubt its legitimacy. However, the Commission produces reports and publications that draw attention to the human rights record of Mexico. International Labor Organization (ILO) Convention No. 169 of 1989 on the rights of indigenous and aboriginal peoples has also been ratified by the government, although it is claimed that constitutional amendments have eroded the rights to land guaranteed under the Convention.

In what ways could the failure to enforce conscription weaken Rome

Schach [20]

Conscription means the forced enlisting of the people of a county into national services, the term is mostly used for military enrollments. In Rome the conscription was enforced to a certain or some certain classes of people which left a little choice for them to choose the skilled people. For example people chosen for military might have come from farmer class who know nothing about operating a war machine or anything about the war or military which ultimately weakened the Rome. If there are less farmers in the country that simply mean there is less food to process also, another was a country could get weak.

Or the elite class was left out who already were not contributing to the good of society.

Using Article 26 from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, summarize then analyze the article in light of what you know of

schepotkina [342]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

We can help you with the following comments so you can elaborate on your own ideas.

(1) Everyone has the right to education. Education shall be free, at least in the elementary and fundamental stages. Elementary education shall be compulsory. Technical and professional education shall be made generally available and higher education shall be equally accessible to all on the basis of merit.

This is a privilege in democratic governments such as the US, Canada, or México. In this las country, this right goes beyond what you have in the United States.

In México, there is a public education system that is free for Mexicans! Yes, including the college level. Public institutions such as the National University(UNAM) or the National Polytech Institute(IPN), offer graduate programs for minimum costs at the beginning of each semester. The amounts for inscription and semester vary from $30 to USD 100!!!!

And it is quality education granted by the Mexican Constitution because each of the 32 states in Mexico has at least one state university that offers the same free education service.

(2) Education shall be directed to the full development of the human personality and to the strengthening of respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms. It shall promote understanding, tolerance, and friendship among all nations, racial or religious groups, and shall further the activities of the United Nations for the maintenance of peace.

On the other hand, there are countries in places such as North Korea, where education is dictated by the state, and students only earn the subjects that are approved by the state. As North Korea is a dictatorship, the educational system does not allow people to have contact with other forms of thinking.

These kinds of countries, instead of teaching people to think on their own, they tried to indoctrinate people to only follow the principles that control them.

(3) Parents have a prior right to choose the kind of education that shall be given to their children.

And this is correct in free and democratic countries, although it is not the case in other such as the above-mentioned case of North Korea. Other good examples are Cuba and Venezuela, where education can be good (indeed, it is said that Cuba has good colleges) however, the education system belongs to the state, serve the interest of the state, and limit diversity and critical thinking of its students.
