Small coffee producers vs TNC

There was a decade when the coffee production in Ixhuatlán del Café and generally in all the coffee regions in Mexico grew up positively, probably thanks to the creation of INMECAFE (Mexican Coffee Institute); this institution supported producers by giving them machinery, tools and especially technical advice. At the end of the 90’s and the earlier 2000’s, this Institute disappeared, and Transnational Companies such as AMSA monopolized the means of production; this fact is generally considered the cause of the decreasing of incomes for small producers.

My research paper will be focused in the confirmation of this hypothesis; it will come to a developing strategy, which will help to solve part of the problem with a final result: an architectural project.

Unemployment in Mexico

The topic that i´m going to work in is the unemployment in México because i think it is a problem which affects us and is becoming more troubling nowadays, specially this problem affects young people more than other segments of the population, even professionals have one of the highest unemployment rate so in think it would be very interesting to research about this problem, analyze and describe the reasons of the unemployment and current statistics.

Golden Ratio

My theme for the research paper is about the golden ratio, also known as the golden number, which is when you have two quantities and the ratio of the sum of the quantities to the larger quantitie is equal to the ratio of the larger quantitie to the smaller one.

Ja I know this sounds a little complicated but trust me is really simple and "magical"; this proportion has an specific number which is 1.61803... aproximatelly; this numer has always been interesting for mathmaticians because it has some amazing properties that any other number has; it is also interesting because we can find it on a lot of places: nature, famous paintings, our body, geometric figures, music, finance, etc.

Research Paper

Hi everyone,
I'm not sure but I think, Iwill talk about Acurate Necrotizing Ulcerative Gingivitis which is related to smoking.

Who is helping to guard immigrants from kidnapping and murder?

The topic I’ve selected is related to Immigrant´s Human Rights.

The human migration phenomenon has a number of causes and is as old as the aspiration of humans to improve their life conditions. This research is focused to argue the strong necessity of create an international organization dedicated to preserve, survey and defend the human rights of the immigrants in Latin America, especially those who are in a social disadvantage that puts them in vulnerability or endangers their very life.

SWOT Analysis: the annual check-up for a business

Hi everyone, here there is my topic of my research paper: SWOT Analysis

This kind of analysis is useful for managers in order to know whether the business goes for the right way or does not.

SWOT means strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and thereats for the business.

As individuals, we recognize the importance of scheduling an appointment for an annual medical check-up to protect our health. Similarly, successful business owners and managers undestand the importance of scheduling an annual SWOT analysis to ensuere optimum business health.

The Mabo case

Hi everyone; sorry I couldn't post last night. Cablevision took my payment but suspended their service and I won't have it back for 24 hours. So here I am at an internet cafè near my house.

Eddie Mabo was an Australian Aboriginal born in 1936, on a small island in Torres Strait, in the very north-east of Australia. At that time these islands were strictly controlled by the government, and as a teenager Eddie was forced to leave the island for doing something silly. He worked in many places, including as a gardener in a university, where he also read a lot of books and listened to people giving lectures. Here he had a conversation with some university professors, where he talked to them about his island and his people. The professors realized that Eddie thought the land belonged to him. Gently they told him that no, the land was Australia's, because nobody owned that land.

This is to say that the Aboriginal people, who had lived in Australia (and on the Torres Strait Islands) for thousands of years, were considered to be "nobody" and had no right to own any of the land they had lived on. It was known as "terra nullius".

Well, Eddie Mabo was completely shocked by this, and decided to take it to the High Court to challenge this law and win back the land for his people. It took over ten years of legal discussions, and in fact Eddie Mabo died (aged 55) before the High Court finally announced the verdict in 1992: that the Aboriginal people did have "native title" (ownership) and had the right to claim their land.

This legal decision became known simply as "Mabo" or "The Mabo case" and was a historic decision that has opened up new laws which make it possible for Aboriginal people to claim native title in Australia.

You can find out more about him at this site:

One other thing that you may not know is that when an Aboriginal person dies, their tradition is to never speak the name of that person again. They consider the name to be finished and it's a way to respect the pain of having lost that person. If anyone else in the town has the same name, they have to change it because it can't be spoken again.

So while white people talk about Eddie Mabo, now that he is dead his name is not spoken by the Aboriginal people. When they refer to this case they call it the Native Title decision.

I've referred to him by name only so that you will know more about him, and because his name is mentioned in the movie "The Castle".

See you tomorrow!
