common negative reactions lead to psychosomatic and altered emotional states. Several aspects are involved in the process of acculturation. For example, general culture, the motivation for traveling, the socio-cultural context in which settlement occurs, possible opportunities for betterment insofar as school, as well as personal and family welfare, climate, and health, among others. All the above help the adaptation process, but not before having to face various obstacles, such as possible rejection, xenophobia, and communication difficulties due to language barriers, among others. Tizon (2004: 218- 225) also mentioned that children who have suffered important losses during childhood are more vulnerable to mental disorders in the short and long term. This mental instability, literal or symbolic abandonment (detachment, coldness, indifference) affects their state of mind and may lead to clinical depression or excessive self-demands, but may also lead to more severe extremes, such as psychopathy, perversion, fetishism, drug addiction, alcoholism, among other problems. Adults have a general tendency to underestimate these disorders and refuse to take responsibility for their consequences. d) Southeastern Mexico. Demographics on the Rise According to Pradilla (2012: 325), Mexico is made up of three regions. The northern region has an intensely vibrant economy but is completely dependent on NAFTA, so its growth, economic, social, and cultural structure are aligned with those of the United States. The central region has a large population and modern, highly developed infrastructure. However, its growth became stagnated after the 1982 recession and it is dominated by the fluctuations of the United States economy. Finally, the Southern region is the most underdeveloped, poverty-ridden area of the country since the Spanish invasion, due to overexploitation of its natural resources. Pradilla mentioned that, in despite great differences, as well as the opportunities the country has to offer in every geographical area, all cities and towns show a high degree of inequality, unemployment, and poverty. With regard to the Southeastern areas of the country, such referents were appropriate in the past, for the state of Yucatan remained naturally insulated by peninsular land and water. The only way to go in or out was by sea. Havana, Cuba and the state of Veracruz were unreachable for the Mayan slaves who worked the farms for a meager salary. Bad communication meant there existed no sociocultural influence, aside from that originating among the dominant groups like hacienda owners, who formed an oligarchy that dominated both public and private spheres during the first millennium (Camara, 1977: 689). Migrants, particularly from Asia and Lebanon, arrived to the state of Yucatan to provide cheap labor for the wealthy henequen haciendas, which to date belong to a high trade hierarchy. The southeast, however, especially the state of Yucatan began a radical change in the first decade of the twentieth century, with accelerated growth due to the henequen boom. Merida, capital city of Yucatan, distinguished itself in terms of modern buildings with multiple development services, as well as education, health, and social programs. Over time, the three Meridas, as established by Quezada (2001: 250), came into existence. The northern sector consisted of families of high, well-to-do and middle socioeconomic status. The southern sector was made up of popular housing, and the third Merida, was that of the constabularies and hulls of haciendas where, even today, there is a rural atmosphere. The different chronicles of the history of Yucatan establish the limitations of social, political and economic development. These limitations are due to that intangible tattoo of Eurocentrism that can be perceived in the bitter struggles among landowners accustomed to the power of radical autonomy, exercised for generations to suit their own interests. There were also various leaders that came together to integrate and ensure access to justice for the Mayan people. Finally, there existed another figure within political parties that had the same features of egocentric attachment of elites and State alike, which was part of corrupt and unpunished compromises. With some exceptions, this decomposed socio-political and economic fabric was the banner of all battles, which were dependent on the favorable or adverse status of the federal governments in office (Pasos, 1980: 381). However, Yucatecan groups that have been at war for decades are territorial and watchful of their personal and family interests. In order to become part of their select group, it is necessary for people to meet all, or most, norms of decorum, education and culture considered appropriate for ego gratification. Financial status counts, but accountability for the improvement of the entire group is much more important. This is worth mentioning because these groups are known for their sense of solidarity and colonialist belonging that has prevented, to a certain extent, interference from other groups with different idiosyncrasies. Thus, they avoid the political and social entrenchment of others, as well as their, control, and indirect influence on the preservation of social welfare in the state (Sierra, 1994: 22-27). After the 1985 earthquake in Mexico City, migration to the Yucatan peninsula increased, especially toward the capital city and to the most important municipalities of the state, such as Valladolid, Tizimin and Progreso. Subsequently, as of the year 2000, the influx of migration from the north of the state and from Mexico City to Yucatan increased simultaneously with the migratory flows from Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala in an attempt to reach the United States by 15 Global Journal of Management and Business Research Volume XXIII Issue I Version I Year 2023 ( )G © 2023 Global Journals Mass Migration of Students: Analysis of the Geopolitical and Social Contexts of Origins
