Dominican Heritage
Heritage is very important to many people and many honor it. Heritage is something that is something that is passed down from birth. I feel connected to my heritage. I respect and appreciate where I came from. Culture is a very big part of my heritage. What I practice is also very important to me. Dominican culture and practices are vital in my life.

Dominican culture is a big part of my heritage. I speak spanish, but it's not the same as regular spanish. Normally dominicans talk informally and the words are shortened. I eat traditional food and treats like smashed plantains, fried salami, rice, beans, seasoned meat, milk caramel, coconut candy, and much more. Family values are very important too. We treat house guests like royalty

    When you ask somebody where they from and they answer Dominican Republic, the first thing that comes to mind is the beach, spanish food, and their worldwide known music that truly identifies them: bachata. Bachata is a very popular type music, now known among all Latinos in the United States. Bachata comes from the bars and brothels of Santo Domingo and it still stands strong after more than 40 years. However, this music was not accepted in the Dominican Republic until about ten years ago.…

    The mainstream religion that the people follow is roman catholic. The majority of Puerto ricans speak spanish and are taught english in school. There are many famous Puerto rican dishes. My favorite is a “jibarito” which is a sandwich with steak cheese lettuce tomato mayo and two smashed fried plantains and a toothpick to hold it all together. Hondurans are also mixed, with Honduran american and afro Honduran. in Honduras they also follow the roman catholic and protestant religions. In Honduras the people speak spanish creole and english depending on where you're at in Honduras. The baleada is one of the most common street foods in Honduras.

    If I compare it to my Jamaican culture more things would be similar than in my American culture. In my Dominican culture we have Thanksgiving for a couple days as well but instead of all the relatives coming together at one house we have to go into a church and pray over the food and pray over the many people who cooked and helped prepare the meal. The dishes are a lot different than in America. For example, we have dishes that cannot even be pronounced and we have dishes that look nasty but taste really good. I remember this one day I had asked my mom a series of irrelevant…

    Dominican Republic wins overwhelmingly on United State on lifestyles. In my country you wake up and its music everywhere in contrast with this country. You walk out of your house and everybody have loud music, giving you salutes, knowing all the peoples of your neighborhood. Compared to United States, where you don’t even know your next door neighbors, it’s a big contrast, you can live in the same place for years and you haven’t fraternize with nobody else that your landlord. Dominicans are always happy, smiling and making jokes, dissimilar to Americans that not even smile at you when you walk to them in the supermarket. We love to dance on the street; we even have a song that says that, unlike USA, that if you’re dancing on the street you become a parade for other people. We love our culture and we’re very knowledge of our own history.…

    My Hispanic heritage has played a huge role in my lifestyle. I grew up in Laredo, Texas a city where Hispanics are the majority. My fellow teachers have always advised me to get out of Laredo and experience the real world. Coming from a town where Hispanics are all you see has led to me being proud of my heritage. Our people had come from a history of hardworking people coming to America to live the “American dream.” And that is what my mother exactly did coming from Honduras, a small poor country in Central America, has achieve the life of success. Even though she has to put in long hours and dedication, she always told me with a wise smile, “It's better to work then to no work at all.”…

    Interestingly, there is NO exact definition for family heritage. I think it is one’s identity according to their family tree. A family tree is a chart that traces the ancestors and descendants of a family throughout history and identifies the relationship of one family member to another. Family heritage differs from culture to culture, and country to country. In Africa, for example, symbolic gestures, masks, costumes, and body paintings are used as a form of communication, while Asian cultures are foreign to that form of art.…
