Mexico vs. United States
Man, it's hot! Temperature that exceeds one hundred degrees Fahrenheit is the only thing one finds at the Mexico, U.S. border while waiting to cross it. Yes, the United States and Mexico share a border, but they have other similarities, such as the kind of government, similar shopping facilities and wonderful vacationing locations. Differences also come into play when one has two different countries; these differences are people and government, which lead to other differences.
Some ways Mexico and the U.S. are the same are great vacation areas, similar shopping facilities, same kind of government, and they share a border. First, both U.S. and Mexico possess famous vacationing locations, such as Hawaii, Miami, and New York for the U.S. and Cancun, Acapulco, and Puerto Vallarta for Mexico. Second, shopping places are actually similar. For example, plazas in Mexico are like malls in the U.S. and some stores are the same like Wal-Mart and Sam's Club.

Finally, Mexico and the U.S. share a border that is located along the bottom of the states of California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas.
On the contrary, being two distinct countries means they also have plenty of differences in between. For instance, the drinking age, driving age, taxes, and poverty, which all fall into the same category: government. If one did not know, the drinking age in Mexico is eighteen (this may be why many seniors head to Mexico for Spring break.) This leads to another age concerning situation: driving age. In Mexico, one has to be eighteen to drive, but neither drinking or driving ages are respected, and the paucity of respect for government is...
Mexico vs. United States
This writer knocked himself out three words into the essay: "Man it's hot!" No comma. Unfortunately, the essay that follows is shallow, redundant, and inaccurate. Saying that there is only one culture in Mexico overlooks the varied native cultures throughout the nation, cultures that have clashed to the point of open rebellion at times.
Further, the essay never touches on the issue that now drives most of the Mexican-American relationship: poverty in Mexico is so endemic that several million Mexicans have come to the United States seeking work. Many are migrant laborers who travel throughout the western United States throughout the agricultural seasons. Millions of others are here illegally, seeking any job they can while primarily avoiding deportation.
As for the essay not using any bibliographies, well, I have read very few essays that use bibliographies. A good essay usually includes a bibliography, because a good essay is based on research in various sources, which are listed in the bibliography.
