North, South and Central are just sub-divisions. "America" is the correct name of the continent.

Mexico is apart of North America. People that call the US 'America' are geographically incorrect. North America and South America are two separate land masses. Canada, the US, Greenland, and Mexico are a part of North America. Central America is often put with either North or South America. Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, Uruguay, Venezuela, and French Guiana are a part of South America.
