Introduction

Tequisquiapan is a city located in the Queretaro state which is situated in the central region of Mexico. In that city, my geography class investigated whether the centre area of Tequisquiapan corresponds to the general characteristics of CBD or not by hypothesizing that the central region of the city has the greatest number of pedestrian, the land value …show more content…

As shown in the picture of Mexico City, there are many commercial building and offices but not any resident-purpose buildings. So, in the CBD area, the more number of shops will be clustered than the number of residential areas. Since Google map provided the map scale, I decided to refer to the scale from the Google map rather than measure the distance by my own for more accuracy. After, I used the nearest neighbor analysis to determine whether the commercial features was clustered or not; I used same method to determine the concentration of residential area. From the investigation, I expected to see the value near to 0.0 which indicates 'clustered' according to the index of the nearest neighbor formula because it indicates that the CBD of Tequisquiapan does contain characteristic of the …show more content…

Therefore the actual total area of the map is 87500m^2

Since I got all variables that I need for the formula, I can apply those values to the formula which is,

R=2×15.4 √50/87500

R≈0.0025

So, as R is 0.0025 which is quite close to 0 which means commercial buildings are clustered in the CBD area of Tequisquiapan, I can conclude from the result that the CBD area of Tequisquiapan is dominated by commercial feature which is one of the general characteristics of the CBD. To finish, the CBD area of Tequisquiapan does conform to the general characteristics of CBD because the CBD meets every hypothesis I made in the introduction.

In the “Marijuana: A Continuing Concern for Pediatricians” article the author points out the fact that marijuana is in fact “an addictive, mind-altering drug capable of inducing dependency” (Marijuana: A Continuing Concern). After some research this statement has been clearly supported. According to the author of “Marijuana: Breaking Down the Buzz” being under the influence of the drug has led to very poor decisions. Some of the poor decisions teenagers make while being under the influence include; people not completing high school, having failing grades if they are still in school, and doing reckless things while behind the wheel of a vehicle.

There was a clear lesson here: immigration regulation is a matter for the federal government. Any attempt to regulate immigration laws where Congress had already regulated it even interrelated efforts, are unconstitutional. In later cases, the Court made it distinct that there is opportunity for state and local participation in the regulation of the lives of immigrants, although not inevitably in the regulation and enforcement of laws governing the movement of immigration itself. In the case of DeCanas v. Bica (1976), the question that the Court was given was whether a California law that established sanctions on business owners who hired non-citizens unofficial to work in the United States violate on federal immigration powers. The Court disapproved
