From my parents I nee more time and support. I say I need more time, because my family and I hardly have conversations. We have to take the time to ask each other questions and talk about what is happening in our lives. Support think is a big issue that we and my family have. I need to have more support form my mom. I need her to go to the school events and those special moments in my life. Overall think that my we need to have a closer relationship.

What I want to learn about my culture is the Mexican music. I want to know when the music was first established and where it came from. I also want to know if the music has any influences from other cultures or if it has influences any other types of music. Art is another aspect that I want to learn more about. Mexican art fascinates me because it is very colorful and has a lot of meaning to it. I would like to find out about the Mexican art is who was the first person to invent it. The lifestyle of the early Mexican people is another aspect that I would like to find out more about. The Mexican culture has many aspects that I would like to find out more. Succes to me has many meanings. Overall, I think that succes has alot to do with growing up and beging someone in life, not just being someone in life, but you also have to mature. One has to be a self- learner and become independent. Succes could also mean being a good citizen of the world. We have to learn how to interact with each other and live a peaceful life. My Culture is Hispanic. Three aspects of my culture that are my favorites are the music, food, and decorations. I favor music because the types of instruments that are involved. Most of the music sung have a story of someone dying or about love. There are different genres of music in Mexico, there are mariachi, banda, and Spanish rock. They are very entertaining to listen to. Mexican food is the best, my favorite plate is enchiladas. They are tortillas soaked in red sauce and stuffed with chicken or cheeses. Drinks are also very delicious, my favorite drink is horchata. Horchata is a rice drink with cinnamon and sugar, it is sometimes served with any plate that you want. One decoration is pinatas. They are usually used in parties. That are the three aspects that I favor the most.
The case of Gall vs. Unites States ties to amendment 5. Gall was convicted for selling “Ecstasy” while attending college. After three years he admitted himself guilty. A jury recommended a sentence of 30 to 37 moths in prison, but the district court sentence him to 36 months in probation. Later they found that it was unnecessary to put him in jail because he had stop using drugs and would not go back to his criminal behavior. So they decided to give him 36 months in probation. Adolfo V. is for the decision that the court made. I think that this decision was fair, because he said the he would not go back to his criminal behavior. If he continues abusing drugs then they should take him to jail. If they take him to jail and give him hard time then that would be considered cruel and unusual punishment.Anthony L. is against; I think that when there is enough evidence to prove this issue, which means that the Gall should be crime put on trial for that crime. The government can not take away someone’s life, freedom, or property without following a series of steps that give them a fair chance. So I think that he should go to jail and serve the time he deserves. |
