Mexico is one of the world’s biggest countries. Yet unlike in modern England, there is no divisions among various cultures, religions and races. We used to be like that in England. But modern nasty media and politics have alas changed things, in the post-Johnson and post-Trump era.
Mexico is traditionally a staunchly Roman Catholic country. But it also has over 60 indigeneous groups, each with its own languages and traditions. Yet everyone gets along fine. Nothing like the divisions we now have in England, between various faith groups and ethnicities.
Promoting Inclusivity and Tolerance
There are of course issues in England with political hot potatoes like immigration and the boat crossings. But there is no need for a lack of tolerance or empathy. All stories require understanding, to create communities where everyone feels valued and accepted. That’s what happens in Mexico.
In fact, Mexico positively embraces the benefits that indigenous groups have brought. The Nahua are known for their intricate art and language. The Maya contributed immensely to astronomy and mathematical knowledge, which still exists in modern architecture. The Spanish immigrants of course, greatly contributed to what is known now as ‘Mexican food’.
What Not to Learn from Mexico (planet)
Despite being home to over 200,000 different species of wildlife and plants, just 2500 are protected with legislation and after Brazil, it has the world’s highest levels of deforestation).
And it also does not make use of being the world’s third-best country for solar power. It’s important to use the right kind (the wrong ones can incinerate wildlife). Barn Owl Trust writes that ground-level solar panels don’t appear to be as harmful as tall solar towers.
