There are many differences and similarites between Mexico City now and when it was called Tenochtitlan. One difference is population. In Tenochtitlan, there were 100,000 people living the opposed to the eight million they have now. Another difference was mode of transportation. Tenochtitlan had canals and recieved horses right before the fall of the Aztec Empire and now they have cars. The ruins have become, well ruined, since they were weathered down and whatnot. Their lifestyle in general seems to be more modernized now. Last difference is that Tenochtitlan was an empire and now Mexico City has a democracy.…

Present- day Mexico City has a population of over 21 million people and is the third largest in the world. The difference between both populations is that Mexico City has grown over 84 times in terms of population to Tenochtitlan.

Culture had a huge impact their artwork. Teotihuacan is believed to have been a very rich and diverse culture, thriving long before any Europeans had came to the Americas. Although the people who built and called Teotihuacan their home have long since vanished, we can discover them from the artifacts left behind. It’s…
After driving up and down Hemphill we recognized that a majority of the dwellings were bilingual friendly. The businesses had wording in English and in Spanish in order to attract a wider range of clientele. However, it was interesting to realize that several of the buildings that only advertised in English either had a Mexican flag or banner out front. Observing this allows us to infer that the dominant nationality in this neighborhood is Mexican. The cultural landscape demonstrates that the community still has strong ties to…
The Spanish houses were always beautiful and brought attention to the eye. Spanish colonial style houses are very true to the original Spanish houses in Spain. The Spanish used adobe as the main material to build their houses. The Governor's Palace in Santa Fe, New Mexico is a gorgeous Spanish style house and its roof poles stick out over the front of the house, which is a typical Spanish feature. San Luis Obispo is very plain but beautiful Spanish style. This building was very box looking, had small windows and looked like a castle. I love the Spanish style homes because they look different than many other styles of homes. The have their “own style” making them different and unique.…
Their ancient deities influenced much of the art at the time. People of Teotihuacán included art everywhere. Most of the murals on their buildings illustrated religious processions as well as images of their landscape such as rivers or fountains. Along with the painted art, was the orange clay used for pottery. As mentioned earlier, it made its way all over Mexico. There have been molds with stamped decorations that, because of it’s high demand, tell archaeologists that they were produced in mass…
For me the greatest knowledge and skills gain was in learning about and conducting the Life Review. I was able to take acquired knowledge in the area of physcosocial development and apply the knowledge. By reading Harder, A (2012) senthesiszed review of Erikson’s developmental stages, I was able to apply the stages of development to my subject in the life review. Addionally, by using Butler’s description of a Life Review is was able to gain greater insight into the differenct between simple reminishing and a true Life Rivew. Butler (2002) indicates they differences between simple reminiscing and a Life Review is that in the Life Reivew a person who comes to the end of their live and they try to make sense of their life and they try to resolve…

Mexican communities exist in all states of the America but stresses its presence in California, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, New York and Washington. “Living and working in Spanish-speaking communities does not differ fundamentally from the social patterns followed by German, Dutch, Italian and Polish immigrants in earlier US history.” (Masterson, Daniel M., and George J. Borjas, 214)…
By the end of the depression, many immigrants worked in mining and ranching and had migrated North and East of the U.S for a more urban life. Having over 33 million Mexican Americans in the United States now in 2015, we can see how far we’ve come with contribution to the growing Latin American influence on the everyday life of all Americans. The nation's clothing, music, architecture, literature, and food have all been influenced by the growing Latin and Mexican American populations and have helped shape the United States we are today.…
Ornament of certain styles around the time this essay was published relied heavily on previous styles. One style that was making its way across Europe was Beaux Arts. This style heavily sampled from Classical Roman and Greek architecture. One example of a Beaux Arts building that makes use of ornament from the past is the Palais Garnier. This opera house includes many ornaments that would lead one to believe it was constructed like Classical architecture.…
