During our trip to Monterrey, we take our time to visit some of the many remarkable places that are all over the city, but we choose some special ones, specially the ones that are in the downtown. First we made a stop in the statue of General Juan Zuazua, a general that participated in the defense of Monterrey. Then we walked across the street we went to the Catedral de Monterrey, the principal and iconic church of the city is really beautiful, with many tiny details, and that makes it very special and it's a great experience to visit it. Then we walked some meters and we went to Barrio antiguo, as his name says is a neighborhood in which all the architecture of the houses, the color, and the streets are made in a very antique way that makes to every person that goes there a very unique experience in the hearth of the city of Monterrey. Finally we went to the Palacio de Gobierno, where the governor of nuevo león rules, but is not only that, it’s a very special place with a great architecture, and on its facade have some elements that makes it unique and has characteristics that describes the state like the lions that are in the roof. To visit this places was a great experience in general because we visited on of the most famous states in Mexico, and to know a little bit more of his history is a very fun experience, to know that every single statue, monument, street, house has a story to tell. We recommend you that if you have the opportunity, visit downtown Monterrey, to get out of our daily routine and get to known this amazing places and stories, it was totally worth it.

The same day we visited the Macroplaza and the most remarkable places in the city of Monterrey, one of the most beautiful cities in the country, we made our way into Mercado Juarez as part of our objective to know better the city. We arrived to the downtown of the city where we decided to park our car next to the Marco Museum, since it was the closest and cheapest, once we parked the car we walked into the south of the city in our efforts to find Mercado Juarez and take pictures with everything the teacher told us to, once we arrived to the building we noticed that it was very old and that it was missing some maintenance, when we entered we could see all the stuff they were selling and the food they were making, stuff like quesadillas, tacos, soups. The market sold absolutely anything we wanted all the way from musical instruments to toys to multiple species. After walking around for a while we took our picture to remember the moment. Entering the market was definitely an educational experience since the majority of us had never even known the place existed. It was a satisfactory experience to learn something new from your city and explore places where you would normally go. This helped us understand more in depth how the city works and what it actually consist of, we are very thankful for this experience and will definitely come back in case we need something that we can found there because as we said its a market in which you can found almost everything

In a recent debate, Senate candidates from Nuevo León discussed a range of topics, focusing primarily on security and social development. The key points around the need for coordination among municipal, state, and federal agencies to address security issues, as well as strategies to reduce poverty and improve social welfare.

Proposals

Waldo Fernández Focused on improved certification and training for police forces and proposed penalties for officials who fail to meet these standards. He also advocated for greater federal assistance in law enforcement..

Luis Donaldo Colosio called for more funding for municipal police and the creation of a supportive infrastructure for social welfare. He mentioned a system of care that aids mothers and children.

Karina Barrón emphasized police training, adequate salaries, and social programs to prevent crime.

Fallacies and False Arguments

Waldo Fernández used an ad hominem approach by questioning Luis Donaldo Colosio's record as mayor, suggesting he didn't attend security meetings.

Luis Donaldo Colosio might have employed an appeal to emotion when defending his record as mayor, focusing on personal attacks rather than substantive issues.

Karina Barrón made an oversimplification by attributing the entire security problem to the "abrazos no balazos" policy.

From my own experience, I thoroughly enjoyed working on this project. It provided me with the opportunity to work in an environment that was both welcoming and comfortable. Traveling to downtown Monterrey was a wonderful experience, one that I would gladly relive. The task of documenting it is something I would enthusiastically undertake every day. This project was especially rewarding because it involved collaborating with individuals who genuinely appreciated their work and the support they received. I might also add that going to the Mercado Juarez was one of the greater experiences that we had had as a team, for the walk there allowed us to bond and to share a little bit of our time, while exploring the vastness of downtown Monterrey, an area some of us hadn't had the chance to go to for our entire lives.

This was a interesting activity where we as teammates visited different cultural spots of the city of Monterrey; talked to a social hero; analyze a debate of senate candidates of Nuevo Leon and we even make a meme about it. Overall, this exploration was both educational and fun. Especially when visiting the city, the locations revealed a piece of Monterrey's rich history, making the whole experience memorable.

From my own experience, I can genuinely say that I enjoyed working on this project. It provided me the opportunity to operate in an environment that I not only liked but also felt extremely comfortable in. Visiting downtown Monterrey was a delightful experience—one that I hope to relive. The task of documenting it was something I would eagerly do every day. Furthermore, collaborating with Silvia García Rojas was truly an honor. Engaging in projects like these is particularly special when you work alongside people who not only appreciate their work but also value the support they receive. I was immensely grateful for the opportunity to work on this project with her, making the entire experience even more rewarding.

During this project we visited the culturally rich areas of Monterrey, we visited the statue of General Juan Zuazua, a former military who fought in the American intervention in 1860, nicknamed “El General de Generales”. Then we went and took a look at the Cathedral of Monterrey, a sacred space full of history with beautiful architecture that converts it into a very special place to visit. We swiftly passed over the Barrio Antiguo, we watched the neighborhood and the different locals and bars that were in the place, what really impresses me is the antiquity of the place and the use of space they decided. Lastly we hopped over to Palacio de Gobierno a building with very unique architecture which really highlighted the state values this was a great experience and it was fun and interesting since every location was full of rich history that formed our city.
