A Modest Proposal

Mexico`s troubles and its consecuent problems have kept the country in the sight of the world in the last 4 or 5 years since the world economical crisis started to affect our economy in almost every field of industry. This situation brought as a consequence one of the most critical times in Mexico's history: unemployment.

So, as much as economical crisis as unemployment along with the bada management of our governors, but overall, along with our own bad habits , another problem has increased dangerously.

Young adults and teenagers who have no the opportunity to work and who their parents cannot support them to pay for their education, look for the easyway to get money. They become criminals, thieves or drugkillers.

For this case, in my personal opinion, I woul like to propouse a plan to delete the current problem where the main motor are young people. I consider that police and army must be more specialized and well trained to capture criminals easier and once they are captured apply a wit of execution.

NOW TRY THIS JIGSAW!
