Puerto Rican's are better than Mexicans?
Mexicans are from Mayan or Aztec Indian decedents mixed with the Spaniards who colonized them in the 1400s as well as the African American Slaves that were brought to work for them.
Mexicans have a very characteristic melody when speaking, and often pronounce the stress on the second last syllable in many words. More commonly described as speaking as if they are singing.
Puerto Ricans are from Taino Indian decendants mixed with Spaniards who colonized them as well in the 1400s and again the African American Slaves.
Puerto Ricans having a stronger African American background with a hint for French their Spanish is a bit more broken. For example the Spanish word for car "carro" Puerto Ricans don't roll their r like most Spanish speaking countries, most Puerto Ricans tend to pronounce the double r as the French would or a Spanish j, as for the single r they tend to replace it with an l. They also tend to not use the letter sas much, it usually varies, depending on the word and its placement in the sentence.
Here's an example of how a Puerto Rican would pronounce these sentences:
Spanish "Ellos van al carro" "Ellos son Puertorriqueños"
English (they are going to the car) (They are Puerto Rican)
Puerto Rican Spanish "Ello van al cajo" "Ello son Pueltojiqueños"
this is not a proper answer, the people from dominican republic speak that way, not puertoricans,also it depends on the education the person has as well, and where they are from in the Island, like in the states all Americans do not speak proper English and they have diffrent accents from the states they are from and there backgrowns.
Beginning in the late 1400s, the Spanish began to explore lands in the Americas. Besides bringing new products and animals, the explorers also brought diseases to America. These were diseases that were new to the American Indians. Hundreds of thousands of American Indians died because they were exposed to these new illnesses. Also, the explorers had better militaryweapons which allowed them to defeat the American Indians in battle. Finally, the explorers started fights between some tribes against others which led to separation and disunity between the American Indian tribes. This allowed the Spanish to take control of the tribes.

How does climate affect human activites in Mexico?
Climate and weather, which in turn affect vegetation and economic activities would undoubtedly affect where a person lives:
Northern Mexico is dominated by the Sonoran and Chihuahuan deserts. As such, the most important economic activities include mining and manufacturing; cities located in this area would require people to adapt to the scorching heat.
The climate in Southern Mexico and its coastal regions is overwhelmingly hot and humid, so the main economic activities include tourism and tropical agriculture (sugar cane, logging). Most people in these regions need to protect themselves from a high UV dose as well as a humidity factor of 50% or more.
The central highlands, also known as the Central Mexican Plateau, have a gentle climate (21 ºC / 70 ºF throughout the year), which have allowed a much higher population density. The economy is much more diversified in this region, including agriculture, manufacturing and most of the services provided in the country.

What was the economical effect of World War 1 on Mexico?
Mexico didn't participate during WW1, as it was in the middle of its own Mexican Revolution (1910-1921).
It however, became involved in Germany's scheming. To prevent the US from entering the war, Germany offered economic and military assistance to Mexico if it attacked the US to recover Texas, New Mexico and Arizona (lost during the Mexican-American War, some 60 years before). This offer is known as the Zimmerman Note, sent to German ambassador in Mexico City, Arthur Zimmerman.
The note however, was intercepted by British intelligence and made public. This hastened the US entry into WW1.

Was Arizona stolen from Mexico please explain how?
The statement holds a degree of validity, but must be measured against World History and not just a squabble between a stronger and a weaker neighbor in the name of American Imperialism. If blatant theft had been intented, then certainly all of Sonora and Baja California would have been included in the treaty. It is undeniable that the US acted in an Imperial manner, and that it took by force of arms what it wanted.
