It took New Mexico more than half a century to shed its territorial status and become a state.

Hierarchy is significant in Mexico. Professional status and authority are highly respected. Unless you are a family member or family friend‚ work titles are expected when addressing someone in a professional and casual setting. Failure to do so will be seen as disrespect and as a result‚ a tainted relationship. For this reason I believe Mexico’s rank on the power distance scale to be a 9 rather than an 8‚ which is‚ what the group ranked them. One well-known form of power distance is through the

To help better understand Mexico’s culture‚ a brief overview of Geert Hofstede’s study of different cultures would be useful. Hofstede’s cultural taxonomy helps in the understanding of cultural differences. Hofstede proposed that people carry mental programs that are developed during their childhood and are reinforced by their culture (Lustig‚ Koester‚ 2006‚ p.114). Through these programs‚ the ideas of a culture are expressed through its principal values. Hofstede conducted a study of over 100‚000

Cultural genocide exists in Mexico‚ and I am not referring to the McDonalds that has taken over the local taco vender‚ or even Starbucks - now on practically every corner- engulfing the national coffee brand; I am referring to the institutional‚ societal and scholarly misrepresentation of the African presence in Mexico.

Some days a white shirt is worn when an occasion is more formal than a regular‚ everyday meeting. On other days‚ men may have an opportunity
