    Selena's strongest patriarchical constraint was her father. In the article "Reconceptualizing Gender Through Intercultural Dialogue: The Case of the Tex-Mex Madonna", it is said that Selena's father referred to her as "a genuinely good person" who was "clean and stood for the family" (Willis and Gonzalez 1997), but, he still attempted to control many aspects of her life. One scene in the Movie Selena emphasizes this idea when Selena goes on stage in a bustier and begins to perform, at which point her father instantly objects and asks Selena's mother why Selena is wearing such a suggestive article of clothing.

    Different areas that speak Spanish have different dialects. Some of these areas do consider people from other areas to be outsiders. An example would be people from Mexico are not necessarily accepting of people from Puerto Rico because they consider the Puerto Ricans to be outsiders even though they are both Spanish speaking countries. I think Selena was able to overcome this problem in Mexico because of her personality and she didn 't try to hide her American heritage either. Selena also had a very confident approach to everything that she did. I believe she was popular because people could relate to her and they viewed her as one of them. Selena also did not allow her popularity to change her, she was still the same person she always was.…
