Law and Order

Major Problems

2 Suggestions for each

Penal system

Not only are prisoners frequently subjected to

brutal treatment in conditions of mass
overcrowding and extraordinary squalor, they
need to create more jails or more space so
overcrowding isnt a problem.
many jails are also themselves run by
criminal gangs, they need to have more
control over the people and separate them
more

Crime rate

Latin America is the only region in the world

where murder rates increased in the first
decade of this century. So I think that they
should put all effort into stopping this and get
everyones attention on something else
besides crime.
If the government put their energy into
something positive and got everyone to pay
attention to a different problem maybe it
would stop.

Drug trafficking

Latin America is a crucial geographic

zone for drug production and trafficking.
It has caused environmental and
community problems, if the government
takes a stand and get everyone in the
community to support them it could stop
it.
They can assign police at every single
community and make sure they have
someone there all day and night.

Human trafficking

To stop human trafficking I think that the

government needs to help solve specific
problems and cases.
Also they need to organize anti-human
trafficking meetings and work on financial aid.

Murder Rates

The murder rate is really high and climbing.

Especially in big cities. What they need to do
is create more cities so that the cities arent
as populated and there isnt just one big city
where everyone goes too.
Lastly the government knowing that the
highest number of murders occurs in big
cities is have people on watch all the time.
they need people working in neighborhoods,
the city streets, etc.

Art
Poem
The art of Latin America is remarkably varied
This art will live forever it is never buried
It because they have many different traditions and populations
They dont have many laws of nations
This diversity makes art difficult to define
Nothing is out of the line
With Indian, African, and European traditions
A lot of the artwork is deep considering their conditions
Paintings of heroes and battles, landscapes, and portraits
This place will never be artless
Modern art has become popular
Surrealism sells for some good dollars
They abstract art movement began in the 1930s
I guess the art was thirsty
1960 was all about the human figure
The art world is getting bigger and bigger
Sculptors are now painting and painter are now sculpting
Everyone want to have experience with something
They love to use lots of colors
They thought it would do wonders
Oil pastels and painting were their favorite
Everything they do is not basic
They love humans and nature
Art is not stranger
Architectural work was a big part of this
It always looked beautiful can made everyone feel bliss
All of the buildings are creatively made
Of cores they are well paid
They have a lot of are museums to hold all their work
But they are crowded and I hope no ones a jerk
The art of Latin America is remarkably varied
This art will live forever it is never buried

Lydia Ciaffone

Questions:
1. What is the number one reason, in your opinion that the population growth rate is going
down in Mexico City?
2. Do you think it will ever increase again, if so when and why?
3. Do you think you will ever be considered a fully developed place?
4. When will you start asking other countries for help?
5. What actions are you willing to take to get more people to come back?
6. Would you rather have a lot of people tour Latin America or live there, and why?
7. What do you think would make the city more attractive to outsiders?
8. In what way are you willing to change the city for others to come back?
9. How will you get the word out about the changes you are going to make?
10. 53% of Mexico City is poor do you think that has something to do with the population
growth rate.
Graph:

There are not a lot of urban areas in Latin America, so the fact that they have a populated major
city like Mexico City is not surprising.
