    Mexican-Americans Culture has been defined as so many things but what does it really mean? Dictionary.com defines it as “the quality in a person or society that arises from a concern for what is regarded as excellent in arts‚ letters‚ manners‚ scholarly pursuits‚ etc.” I guess you can say that’s a pretty fair definition but that’s not all‚ culture also has to do with the way people dress and what people listen to (music wise). Culture also deals with religion‚ politics‚ education‚ jobs‚ economic

    religion‚ social habits‚ and language. To me‚ culture means the gifts a country or community has to offer. In 2013‚ I had the opportunity to explore different cultures when my school hosted “multi – cultural week”. That year we were focusing on the Mexican culture. I walked in to the auditorium and made a beeline to the buffet‚ expecting hard-shelled “Doritos” flavored Taco Bell tacos. When we approached the table it became clear that the food before our eyes bared no resemblance to the popular fast

    “America’s wars have often been controversial” (Roden 317). The Mexican- American War was not an exception to this rule. Many Mexicans felt that they were cheated their land.
