SOCIAL STRUCTURE - The people are organized by their class (how much money they make). It is not required to go to school as many drop out at the age of 14 (sometimes younger). The reason is many kids are expected to work on fields to provide for their family. Females are expected to clean and cook but if their family is too poor, they have to work as well. This is different for those who live in the city.
ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT - There are ,many things to do in Mexico. For one there are shows, aquatic parks, nightclubs, and shopping. Acapulco, in Guerrero, offers a show were men risk their lives diving from La Quebrada, a 147 feet high cliff. If you are visiting Cancun, visit the nighttime show in Xcaret Park. It is a light and sound tour through Mexico’s history. There are many water parks to enjoy. Whether it is in natural waters, or down chutes 60 feet long, it is always fun. You must visit shops to get a special souvenir! Visit a historical site (there is plenty). These sites are very educational that show Mexico's roots. Do not miss any festivals and carnivals in Mexico. You will always have fun!
