Latin American culture

Clas170 3 November 2017 Burn! The history of Latin America is something in which many choose to oversee. Our world in which we live in is not mindful of the history. We are taught that people choose to forget its history and some never want to learn it. Many do not realize that the influences of Latin America are part of our systems, our cultures, our traditions in which we live in today. In this class I have learned about many themes in which why Latin American countries were established, and…

Hispanic: an individual of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other Spanish-speaking country culture or origin. This conception of the word Hispanic is extensive because it includes all people with ties to a Latin American country or country with Spanish culture, while remaining specific by maintaining that that these connections are either through origin or culture. Every ten years the U.S. government issues the decennial census which collects data about the actual…

Music Culture Cuba is an extremely diverse country, mixed with African, French, Asian and Spanish influences. Cuba is an extremely magnificent country filled with amazing people. The culture in Cuba is just as diverse and unique as the country itself. The most important cultural aspects that Cuba has is its music. Traditional music styles are still widely popular in Cuba and are often seen to this day. The best thing about these Cuban traditions is that although some of the countries cultures…

the entire world—Argentina, also known as la República Argentina or Argentine Republic, is one of the wealthiest and most prosperous countries out of all its Latin American constituents. It is bordered exclusively by Chile to the west, Bolivia and Paraguay to the north, and Brazil partially to the northeast. Out of the twelve Latin American countries that make up the continent of South America, it is the second largest country by land mass and with a population of roughly 43 million people, it…

In light that my country (Haiti) profile was not available among Hoftstede cultural listing, I chose 2 countries to compare culture differences with my own because my country is geographically placed between the Latin American and Caribbean region. What do you think of modeling an entire culture on just four traits? In comparison with Jamaica and the Dominican Republic scoring high on Individualism (39/30) and Masculinity (68/65), I would personally rate my country with a score higher than…

and grandparenthood as one ages. This self report provided me with information on the topics of interest and allowed me to further understand aging first hand though the eyes of an older adult. This interview also helped me better understand that culture and ethnicity plays a big role in the aging process. I saw that Maria had a great sociocultural support system due to her extended and close family relations. This served as a great venue of financial and childcare support in her family,…

The fact that Americans are only limited to learning English as the common language directly affects my personal life as well as my professional future due to my native tongue being Spanish. My mother was the one who originally taught me English, as well as my grandfather who was a U.S. Marine and would always speak English to all of my family. My mother was an English teacher so that facilitated my learning experience as well as fixing accent and grammatical errors. Coming to America I…

Along with this change in race label, a self-ascribed sentiment of Hispanicity had also occurred. And so, the final part of formation of the racial fluidity present in modern day began during the United States’ occupation of the Dominican Republic. Americans had occupied much of the Dominican land to capitalize on the sugar industry, but offered wages so low that only imported Haitian workers were willing to do the work. The native Dominican population thus formed a sentiment of superiority…

Schwartz’s writing on the Mexican empire is a compilation of individual’s accounts of the Spanish victory. “Victors and Vanquished” provides an outlook on the influences behind these events. Personal interests, class biases, and political views are just some of the influences for different interpretations.…

nonmaterial cultural traits. This term is incredibly relevant in this documentary in every aspect of it. Culture is absolutely going to spread when citizens of other countries make the trek across nations. For example, the people of Honduras most definitely do not eat the same food we eat here in the states. But, as a another example, we notice that the farther south we go in American, the more Hispanic influence there is. There is influence in the architecture, the food, the music, the…
