Why can’t people feed themselves? As of today, third world countries do not have access to the high-quality land to feed themselves. The plentiful land they once owned has been ruined. Unfortunately, due to clear cutting by plantations many years ago, the soil has no nutrients left. “Colonialism destroyed the cultural patterns of production and exchange by which traditional societies in “underdeveloped” countries previously had met the needs of people.”(Lappe, p.184) Furthermore, the useable land that is left is not available to them.

They were given freedom from noble interference and control of their lives, as well as being freed from fear of being forced to do military service. The serfs were given very little land and that which they received was of poor quality. The system of land distribution was unfair and most peasants received 4% less land than they had rented before, many received much less.
But the undeserving poor had earned their poverty not only by refusing to work, or to work hard enough, but also by rejecting the middle-class model. If they were poor, it was because they hadn’t tried hard
In 1985, Zambrano, a grandson of the founder of CEMEX, took over as CEO and is still in charge today. He based the company’s growth strategy on geographical diversification and its operating strategy on the development of the “CEMEX Way” and an efficient information system He is probably the main artisan of CEMEX’s impressive growth.

The Mexican American War led to the expansion of the territory of the U.S. After defeating the Mexicans, Texas became a state of the U.S. (Goldfield et al 412). Similarly, Mexico ceded New Mexico and California to the U.S. after signing the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. This considerably increased the geographical size of the U.S.
