It Is Time For Change

It is time for change

With every passing day Mexico sees more and more injustices being committed, and they do not seem to cease. Some people prefer to just ignore it and they are able to make themselves see pass it, but at the same time other people are starting to open their eyes and realize that we are being sabotaged. We are being stepped on by our own government that has turned into the perfect dictatorship commanded by the greatest, most ignorant and pretentious backstabber in our history. This is what is really happening: we are being forced to accept new rules, new reforms that will supposedly be for our benefit, but that we know they won’t and we are not allowed to have a say.

These are rules that have been carefully designed and formulated to damage our economy and damage all Mexicans. But what have we done to try to stop this? Some people might say we have done nothing, while others will claim that they have protested alongside others that are as sick and tired of having to live under the command of a man that only pursues his own benefit, even if that means that Mexico has to sink in even more. On the other hand, we’ll have “the others”; those who have chosen to live “peacefully” and that have embraced all the changes that this new government is forcing upon us. But now, the real question arises as we analyze what the next step will be: What are these protests doing? Are they achieving something or are they just a waste of time?

Over the years we have seen how thousands, even millions of people have dared to raise their voices and demand for answers, solutions, a better government and a better future over all. Some will say that those protests and marches have been pointless and have only caused more problems, but if we see at how they have affected our country on the long run, many would say that they have indeed been of great use. The past movements organized by different groups of people such as workers, teachers, students and nonconformist people have given these future protesters the strength and courage to go out on the streets against everything and everyone, not caring if they are disapproved by the rest of the people or if their own lives are at risk.

Now we encounter a much bigger question: if the protests have encouraged some people, why are we still divided and against each other? The answer is simple: The media. Nowadays, here in this corrupt nation, even the biggest Television chains are manipulated by the government, only feeding the people with what’s convenient, instead of casting the reality of our their filthy maneuvers. And since Mexico is a country in which people much rather sit four hours watching television than to read information from trustable sources, it all sums up to a mass of ignorant, unwilling puppets.

How can we reach progress if are not getting the information we need? What can we, as citizens, possibly do to change
