Compare And Contrast Mexico And America

The United States of America and Mexico are countries that are so close to each other, yet so different. From my experience, living in each of these countries for a long time, feels like living in a whole different world. Each country offers different things to the people. The United States of America is a better place to live than Mexico because of their climate, their culture and their higher quality of education.

The climate in the U.S.A is different across the country. The southern part of the U.S. is generally warmer and the winter season is cold but it's tolerable. While the northern part of the U.S. tends to be colder but during the winter it suffers from heavy snow all season. The northwest pacific area is where it rains the most all year long. The Midwest area is dry but it tends to rain during the spring. The northeast area is rainy. During the winter it tends to snow heavily. The southeast area is very dry and it tends to get really hot during the summer. In Mexico, There is two different seasons: the dry season from November to June that is also the high tourist

season, and the rainy season from June to November. The weather conditions vary within the mountainous areas of northern Mexico, where winter seasons are very cold, usually freezing during the night time. In the Pacific Coastline, summer temperatures borders 35° C around the southern areas (Mazatlán or Puerto Vallarta) and 30° C in the northern areas. On winter time, these temperatures usually decrease in some 10°C. In Mexico, most people don't count with air conditioning in their homes so during the summer, the weather makes it less tolerable for people.
There are many differences in the American and Mexican culture.

The American culture has developed from a mixture of influences from various, European, African, Native American and Asian cultures. The main language is English, which is spoken by 96% of the population and has a two-party system in the government. American culture combines many more cultures due to significant immigration from every major continent. While the Mexican culture was formed by Spanish and indigenous cultures and the main language is Spanish. Mexico has a multi-party system with three major political parties. Mexican culture is a combination of Spanish culture and that of the indigenous people of Mexico. There is greater religious diversity in America leading to secularism being dominant in America. Roman Catholicism is dominant in Mexico, resulting in the Catholic Church possessing considerable influence in

Mexico.
Education in America is such an important thing, students are required to go to school, at least until they graduate from high school, while in Mexico education is not a requirement and they can go to school at least until they graduate from elementary school. American universities offer much more advanced courses than Mexico and teach their courses in a universal language which is English. Attending school in America open up many options for people and there is a better chance of getting a job with a good pay than there is in Mexico.
Living in two different countries is an experience that opens people’s mind to new way of thinking. In my case living in America is an opportunity to achieve my goals and be successful.
People in America have more chances of becoming who they want to be.
