Report from Mexican-American Students
Posted by alicemercer on March 6, 2007
Our cultural group is from Mexico. Map of Mexico . One of the group member’s family is from Sinaloa.
All of us speak English. One of us speaks only English, but the rest of us speak Spanish too.
Our foods are tortillas, beans, rice, salsa, carne asada, tamles, posole, enchiladas, and birria. Andrea’s family eat rice, shrimp.
Most of the people in our group are Catholic and one is a Jehovah’s Wittness.
Most of us have nuclear families, but one of us has an extended family.
Some of us are expected to get a college degree, but for some of us going to work was more important. We are expected to finish High School.
Most of us thougth the most important people are the elderly or adults, but one group thought both or the younger people were more important.
The elders are respected most beacause they are very old and they are our grandparents mom, uncles or adults. They are respected for their wisdom and experience. One group thought the people in charge in the community were respected. Another thought, the famous Mexican people were.

Zhane and Kiarah, those are excellent comments but should you have posted those comments here? Make sure you are on the page you are commenting on.
I know the Mexican American group was last, but they had some really good information. There were a lot of differences in the group, which I found interesting. Not everyone is the same. Most of the people in this group did a really good job on this.
