Mexican symbol.

Mexican National Shield.



Each country has national symbols that represent each nation, and this time I want to share one of the 3 Mexican symbols that represent us and distinguish us from other countries, and this is the Mexican National Shield.

History.

The National Shield is inspired by the legend of the foundation of Mexico-Tenochtitlan. This legend tells us that the god Huitzilopochtli told the Mexicas to establish their city where they found an eagle perched on a cactus devouring a snake, and finding it in the valley of Mexico, the center of Mesoamerica, in what is now Mexico, there was where they settled and founded the most powerful empire of Mesoamerica.



Since 1823, the year in which this symbol was established as a shield of the Mexicans, its design has had several transformations until 1968, when the characteristics of the current national shield are established.



Meaning.
  • For the ancient Mexicas, the eagle represented the god Huitzilopochtli in its maximum splendor; Standing on the cactus devouring the snake represented the triumph of the sun over the moon, day over night, light over darkness.
  • Today the eagle represents the Mexican people, and their combative pose means the courage of Mexicans to face the challenges that life and the world present to them.
  • The snake represents the enemies of Mexico who try to harm the Mexican people.
  • The snake being devoured by the eagle, testifies that the Mexican people will prevail over their enemies.
  • Cactus with its thorns is symbolic of the challenges to be faced. The eagle perched on the cactus represents the ability of the Mexican people to overcome adversity.
  • The islet on water is the root and origin of the indigenous people of Mexico.
  • The branches of oak and laurel that surround the shield are emblematic of the strength and victory of those who have forged the Mexican homeland.
  • The tricolor loop that links the branches of laurel and oak represents patriotic unity.

This symbol is not only an eagle, a snake and a cactus, it represents part of the history of Mexico, which to all Mexicans makes us feel very proud.

Political fanaticism.

  Political fanaticism.    In recent years, a very latent phenomenon that has been growing dangerously and vertiginously, in a context of high polarization; this distorter is presented as an enemy of electoral conscience and a healthy and mature democracy, it is political fanaticism.    But let's start by defining fanaticism:    According to the definition of the Royal Spanish Academy : it is an “excessive passion and tenacity in the defense of beliefs or opinions, especially religious or political ones”.    For Voltaire: “Fanaticism is to superstition what delirium is to fever, what rage is to anger. He who has ecstasies, visions, who takes dreams for realities and his imaginations for prophecies is a novice fanatic with great hopes; he may soon get to kill for God's sake."    Therefore, fanaticism is identified by the desire to impose their ideas, despise those who are different, be based on a series of thoughts that are unquestionable, have a square view of t
