Mexican Family Research Paper

387 Words2 Pages

In Mexico, family is of central importance. Loyalty and commitment to family and friends determines employment , promotion or special treatment for contracts. Such virtues tend to come in the way of motivation and productivity measurements on the job through high rates of turnovers and job absenteeism. This becomes a costly affair for the employers as apart from family reasons, workers often do not come back to work after their holidays or vacations . Since the workers do not give too much relevance to individual achievements, they focus more on being heads of households and bread winners for their families . Mexicans get easily provoked by an attack on their personal integrities and dignity. They have a very leisurely attitude towards time

  • Reflection On Hispanic Family Therapy

    154 Words  | 1 Pages

    Thanks Amy, your post defined the many reasons for Hispanics to be among the inclusion of family therapies and other counseling. Hispanics have left their homes to come to a place of different than their own, so depression and grief could be a thing of the past for Hispanics living in America. Health is a key component when raising a family, seeking better for oneself, but alcohol is not a family thing or an individual thing it is a societal issue that must be combated no matter the culture. SBIRT is a great intervention process that speaks to the individual and the family. I believe in a unit if one part is affected then the others are as well.

  • Summary Of Mexican American Culture

    899 Words  | 4 Pages

    Up until the 1960s Anglo social scientists wrote most of the literature about the people of Mexican- descent in the United States. Their analysis of Mexican American culture and history reflected the hegemonic beliefs, values, and perceptions of their society. As outsiders, Anglo scholars were led by their own biases and viewed Mexicans as inferior, savage, unworthy and different. Because Mexican scholars had not yet begun to write about their own experiences, these stereotypes were legitimized and reproduced in the literature. However, during the mid- 1960s scholars such as Octavio Ignacio Romano, Nick Vaca, Francisco Armando Rios, and Ralph Ricatelli began to reevaluate the literature written by their predecessors.

    First and foremost, been Hispanic to me signifies and defines the word family. More than any other culture we hold true to our identity, our values and above all our familia (family). Aside from this, being Hispanic also means being a part of a long and diverse culture, tradition, and pride, and being able to use this pride as an energy source to accomplish anything and everything. 
 At the age of three me and my family illegally came to United States, and arrived disoriented and with no clue with what to do with ourselves. Our family took us in immediately even though we had not talked or seen them in years.

Family members did not live in separate homes neither did they practice “living the nest” manners as native Americans do. Children are encouraged to live at home until they found a spouse and were ready to marry.
