Familism is the loyalty that Latinos have to other family members. The textbook states that it is a personal outlook that puts family obligations first, before individual well beings. Latinos are a close knit family, there are times that the hold Latino family comes together in communities to celebrate their heritage. If a mother is sick you can expect the whole family to be around and help as well as distant relatives and friends. I feel that they are most comfortable living and working in groups, this is different than the majority of other races who are comfortable working alone. I think of the Latinos who work in lawn care services, as painters, construction workers, they are likely to help one another get a job within the same company.
