A South American Matrix

As a little kid, I had always been interested about every society’s origin. I have asked people philosophical questions when I was young, mostly parents and grandparents, and was not happy with the answers I had gathered by the end of everyday. Answers such as the myth of Adam and Eve were always used for there response, or following certain rules to not end up in hell after we die. My first itch over sociology I had was when I was ten years old, and it was on why people looked different from each other, when there were only two genes in the start of humankind, according to there religious responses. I grew up, and finally learned that religion has been used for centuries to influence people in living the “righteous way”. My race strongly lives by religion, Mexico, a catholic nation, due to its founding father, Spain. Meaning, geographically, I am not supposed to be Mexican, but part of the Mesoamerican civilization formed in the capital of Mexico City which was the Aztec Empire. This was the start of my interest over liberal arts, sociology and other topics that can get me closer to the origin of humans.As I have mentioned before, religion was the most successful method, into influencing or better yet, forcing, the people into living off rules from a nation for the fact that, it was portrayed as being sacred. The Spanish Inquisition is a huge example that supports this theory believed by many others besides me. On the primary years of this era, the inquisition was very fervent over converting Muslims and Jews into Catholicism. This epic lasted from 1478-1834. The people that used to convert others into this religion were called reconquistadors, they either tortured there enemy till they renounced there old religion, and if not, then the enemy was killed due to him being sinful and not accepting god. When Cristopher Colombus sailed to the Americas, he negotiated with Spain, and was provided with the ships La Nina, La Pinta and Santa Maria. On these ships, there were conquistadors ready to gain territory in Tenochtitlan, the capital of the Aztec Empire.This here is the start of the Latin American matrix, the conquest of certain people following another nations rules. Obviously, Indian Americans retaliated over this, but they had no defense over gun powder. Now this geographical area treats the Spanish inquisitions religion sacred, something to pass there kids to believe in and live by. The spirit of this was widely spread by supposedly, a Mexican Indian who had an imagery or the actual appearance of Virgin Mary. He then told his people, and soon his village worshipped the Virgin Mary and catholic church. This is why the Virgin Mary is the most sacred saint in Mexico. Now that religion is strictly followed by the progress of ones nation, there is also other factors to set up into keeping the soul and conquest of The Matrix. Resources are very important to the matrix, it’s the whole point of it. To live by and take as much materials it or they can find even if its up to genocide a nation. The same way the people were slowly dying in the matrix, and converting into batteries. The example of Batteries in the movie matrix is a strong metaphor to the people that live in the matrix. For the fact that the matrix can not work without blinding people, and its people, a battery, has no function without the matrix for the fact that they don’t know how much power we have inside us without the matrix giving us tasks to work by. Farmers in south America started to soon loose there land, and migrate to other rural areas of the city. This can be the modern matrix. People that had no other alternative started to soon immigrate to other lands. A treaty that can be significant to this problem is the North American Free Trade. Carlos Salinas De Gortari is the former president. During the period of his presidency, Mexico was vastly poor, he caused huge immigrants to move to the united states. After he left he signed the treaty that legally permits the trade of farms with the United States, Canada and Mexico. Mexico is the second leading Spanish country, this we know because of how the media mentions it when speaking of south Americans in general, like amnesty discussions. In having partnership with Mexico’s agriculture, other south American nations would also be affected on the purchase of agricultural needs being expensive due to the treaty’s taxes and tariffs. Carlos Salinas is a huge controversy over stealing money from his own country, and having a brother in a drug trade conviction between Mexico and the United States. Agriculture is also very important to the progress of a nation, for the fact that it’s how one survives. By this, farms have been used for goods, such as European goods and providing needful resources while paying useless resources a third world country doesn’t necessarily need. All that’s being done now is building up with resources that are being converted into European goods. Like a lakoste shirt, that is usually made by Peru’s forest’s (trees) and is produced though by Europe. The media is another important factor. A modern method into keeping the people informed by what The Matrix wants to portray. Not one brand of clothes from any south American country has been widely spread like European brands are done. This is because Media disapproves of certain groups to give a positive image to its viewers. People who watch this buy the goods without knowing who is being harmed, and who is being contributed. The news is something important to media. For the fact that it’s what we live by in modern day world, besides the religion Europe had brought to the Americas. Music as well, advertising goods, so that young people can support the matrix. This here is inevitable to stop, we have seen through the struggle of Che-Guevara. Who was killed by Bolivians trained by C.I.A. his fingers were cut, to give anybody who has tried to change the matrix, a message of fear. Cuba is the only country to escape, but sadly was not supported by other nations for the fact of them being funded by other superpowers. The way Mexico signed the North American Free Trade. Ernesto’s primary goal was to free South American indigenous from there oppressive puppet democratic nations. This goal was not reach, therefore we have people immigrating to the United States, living like slaves for the fault of there own nation, and super powers. Once again, capitalism would not survive without people aching for help. The same way the United States was built, from having people immigrate to have freedom of religion, to European immigrants and south Americans seeking a way to live properly. We have no control over this subject for the fact that the matrix is connected with its masters of the world.
