Aquí se ve a las soldaderas durante la Revolución Mexicana:
Las soldaderas, también conocidas como las Adelitas, eran las mujeres que participaban activamente en la Revolución Mexicana, acompañando a sus esposos. La Revolución comenzó en 1910, tuvo diferentes etapas y concluyó en 1920. Durante la Revolución, grupos de campesinos, gente humilde que vivía de la tierra, lucharon para pedir más derechos para los trabajadores. Los soldados eran los mismos campesinos y se movían de un lado a otro para luchar. Un grupo de mujeres iba con ellos y cocinaban, lavaban, eran enfermeras y acompañaban a los soldados en todos los sentidos. Algunas, incluso, salían a la lucha con los hombres.
El nombre de Adelitas lo recibieron en honor a Adela Velarde Pérez, la esposa de un soldado que compuso una canción o corrido, Las Adelitas, para honrar la tarea que realizaba su mujer, que dice: “si Adelita se fuera con otro, la seguiría por tierra y por mar; si es por mar en un buque (boat) de guerra, si es por tierra en un tren militar”. Esta canción, que se hizo muy popular entre los soldados de la revolución, sigue siendo hasta ahora parte de la tradición popular mexicana y recuerda la participación femenina en uno de los acontecimientos más importante del siglo xx para el pueblo mexicano.
a. representar el impacto especial de la mujer en la Revolución Mexicana.
b. explicar la causa de la Revolución Mexicana.
c. exponer las injusticias en México durante el siglo xx.

Read the selection below on economic growth and achievement motivation. Then answer the questions that follow.
That the economic fortunes of nations rise and fall over time is obvious. In the late 1950s, graphs indicated that the United States was truly the dominant economic power in the world: it accounted for a majority of the world’s output of steel, automobiles, and electricity, to name just a few important items. Today, of course, such graphs tell a very different story. The United States no longer accounts for most of the world production in these areas, and in recent years, the U.S. rate of growth has been exceeded by that in several Asian countries. What factors contribute to such trends? Most persons, including economists, would list such factors as the price and availability of natural resources, labor costs, and government policies that encourage growth. To this list, psychologists would add another factor: national differences in achievement motivation. While achievement motivation is certainly an individual process, some evidence points to the conclusion that average levels of this motive vary sharply across cultures. For example, in classic research on this topic, McClelland (1985) analyzed stories told to children in twenty-two different cultures. McClelland analyzed the stories with respect to the degree to which they showed themes of achievement motivation. The major finding was clear: achievement motivation scores were highly correlated with economic growth. In other words, the greater the emphasis placed on achievement in the stories told to children in various nations, the more rapid the economic growth in these nations as the children grew up. While these results may seem surprising, they have been confirmed repeatedly. For example, in a massive study involving more than 12,000 participants in forty-one different countries, Furnham, Kirkcaldy, and Lynn (1994) examined the relationship between a wide range of attitudes closely related to achievement motivation, and two indicators of economic growth: 1) the amount of income produced by a country; and 2) percentage of increase in economic output from year to year. Results showed a significant relationship between achievement-related attitudes and economic growth. For instance, across all countries studied, attitudes toward competitiveness were a significant predictor of economic growth: The stronger the competitiveness, the greater the rate of growth. Of course, such research does not show that differences in achievement motivation across various cultures cause differences in economic growth; however, the fact that achievement motivation does influence individual performance suggests that investigating cultural differences in this motive may indeed provide us with insights into why certain countries suddenly rise to economic prominence at particular times in their history. 1.
