Arts and Education during Porfiriato

The vision of president Diaz did consist upon the improvement of society, his contributions were multiple such as the improvement in education, for this he promoted “La ley Orgánica“ in 1857 which stated that elementary school was free. He also promoted religious tolerance and the improvement of the court system in Mexico. Arts weren’t promoted in an extensive way such as school, but many changes through art were adapted thanks to foreign influence in the nation.

It is said that Diaz was commenting about the loyalty of the medium class who found a job during his control/administration.
In this phrase, Porfirio makes reference to the people as the dogs. What the phrase means, is that if the people have what they want, they won’t protest/complain, neither will they attack the government.

We came to the conclusion, that Porfirio Diaz can be considered both sides depending on the individual, although, we chose to portray him as a villain. You may ask why, and that is because we believe that even though his political term brought many benefits for the country itself, it didn’t help the population as much. With this being said, we would like to establish that Diaz brought a better economy and innovation to the country, yet, he didn’t seem to focus on every social class and the population in general. His selfish objectives weren’t helpful for the community, yet it seemed to give México a better name and growth as a country.
