Mexican-American Culture
Tradition Will Never Be Forgotten It helped me realize and analyze a different culture. In Ruben Martinez, Crossing Over the book tells about how life is in Mexico and how their tradition are different from the US. The migrants who are in US are creating a new Hispanic-influenced culture that is histrionically altering both Mexico and the US. Martinez makes a claim that tradition culture has not disappear. I agree because we have many different cultures in the US. I will prove this by exploring Mexican-American culture.

In Mexican culture they tend to value the family the most.

Rodriguez wants to stay true to his Mexican culture for his parents' sake claiming they, “...grow distant, apart, no longer speak,” but also wants to belong in American culture where his education has driven him to a position not many Mexicans get to or have to opportunity to be (Rodriguez 105). This story confronts the idea that anyone can succeed as long as they are willing to sacrifice their cultural identity in the process.…

    Diversity in the Hispanic Culture

    The Hispanic community accounts for the largest minority in the United States. The United States Census Bureau reported as of July 2006, the percentage of Hispanics in the nation had grown to 15. This percentage excludes the 3.9 million Puerto Ricans whom call America their home. This number puts the United States ranking third worldwide for largest Hispanic populations, with Mexico and Colombia holding the first and second ranking respectively (Pew Hispanic Center, 2009). The Hispanic community is diverse in itself, although non-Hispanics may have panethnic views of the group as simply Latino or Hispanic, this group is made up of Mexican Americans, Puerto Ricans, Central/South American, Cubans, to name a few. Those who consider these people as one group are mistaken and over generalizing. Each of these subgroups has their own dialect, social and economic make-up, heritage, and religious background.…

    In my Jamaican culture we have a different Thanksgiving and Christmas ceremonies/events compared to my regular American culture. In my Dominican culture we have to travel around the world visiting different family members to celebrate those holidays with my mother's side of the family. When we flew to Jamaica, I instantly noticed the cultural changes in the way they dressed and how their music was different from American music. I started to notice where my father got his traditions from. Thanksgiving there lasts for a couple days and it's nothing but unique foods and dances.…

    My Hispanic Culture

    In sum, I have been mistreated for my Hispanic culture. As I have mentioned before Hispanics face a lot of mistreatment because of their culture and language. Some people who dislike Hispanics is because of their language and culture. Also, some people think that Hispanics do not have an opportunity to be successful. However, that is not true Hispanic have the opportunity to dream about being successful and accomplish it later on. Being Hispanics by getting mistreatment it should not affect our daily lives. We should take action by showing the people who dislike Hispanics that we can become someone in life just like they can. Also, show that Hispanics are hard workers who accomplish their dreams to the fullest. Let’s not let other people define…

    Mexican Culture Research Paper

    My experiences in a cultural group are many. I have been married to a Mexican man for almost 23 years. The one thing that stands out most in my experience is the amount of love that is displayed in a family group. My husband comes from a family of twelve children. The first time I went to Mexico to visit his side of the family, our son was four months old. I remember seeing the whole family setting together on one very long couch with Aunts and Uncles and parents. Everyone was jammed in there together with their heads on each other’s shoulders watching television. It astounded me because when I was growing up, my siblings and I used to fight over “our cushion” on the couch. Granted, I came from a family of only five children, but they…

    My Hispanic Culture

    A person’s background is one of the most interesting things about them because their background is what shapes them into the person they are today. An individual receives basically everything they know based on how they were raised, whether it be their beliefs, customs, or just their way of life. Our world has diversity because of this. For me, having direct descendants from Mexico has brought out my Hispanic culture and influenced the traditions my family holds.…

    Mexican American Culture

    Throughout my life I have been in and out of different communities, both online and face to face, but there is only one that I’ve ever stuck to. At the age of two, my parents brought me from Mexico to the States, starting my journey of living my life being Mexican-American. This community isn’t only for those who were born and raised here with Mexican parents, but also for those of us who were also born in Mexico, yet have lived here for most of their lives. Geography and identity aren’t the only things that the people in the community have in common, but also that we had to learn how to live with two different cultures. Although I do consider us a pretty strong community, it isn’t that strong because there’s no leader and not everyone knows…

    Essay On Mexican American Culture

    One thing I can never deny is my heritage. I am a Mexican American. I was born in America, and nurtured by Mexican parents. I am bilingual: I speak English, and I speak Spanish at home, and bicultural: I eat authentic Mexican food in my house, and American fast food when I go out with friends. Although, you may think that I get the best of two worlds; in reality, it’s not always like that. The truth is, I do not fit into the stereotypes that most people have about Mexican Americans, and surprisingly enough, I don’t assimilate well with other Mexicans either. Being a Mexican American while staying true to yourself is different than keeping your heritage and following social expectations. Ever since I was young, I have always felt out of place mainly because my family…

    Mexican American Cultural Groups

    Mexican America’s , Cubans, Puerto Ricans, and Central and South American’s are the groups I have chosen to write on. It took some time to study these groups as I am one of the typical American’s who seems to link the groups together. I do not mean to be that way, I simply haven’t done a whole lot of research on the matter. What I have discovered is that they are all very similar, but have somewhat different priorities and traditions. It also appears that economic status is a dividing factor.…
