    Mirkin’s article, “Aurora Reyes: ataque a la maestra rural,” was about one of the most iconic women in Mexican history. She was a very inspiring woman, she still found time to create her murals and fight for what she believed in all while being a single mother of two and having a job.

    And since the peninsulares has power over all other Latin Americans, that it was a frustration for each social class since they all want to have the same power. But it also especially frustrated the Creoles since they believe in the democratic ideals of fair representation and equality, values that conflicted with the very foundation of the hierarchical spanish colonial system. And this were one of the main things that caused the creoles to revolt in europe during the french revolution. But at the same time the Creoles were motivated by power, and in a way of being greedy and less reflective of enlightenment values of equality. The Creoles main focus was to overthrow the peninsulares so they can gain political representation of themselves, and to deny the other social classes power. And…
