Know anything about Mexico or Mexican culture?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:I’ll send your question to a Mexican Jelly. My husband is Mexican, what exactly do you want to know? Since my interaction is mostly only with his family, I can’t be sure if it is just how his family is or how a lot of the people in the country are and social class makes so much difference I think in Mexico, just like America. Not to mention the country people emigrated from makes a huge difference also, just like in America. One thing I find is his family seems very passive aggressive when they are annoyed, silent treatment happens much more often than angry outbursts, I say it seems rather stiff upper lip, almost like how you would characterize the British. Mexicans have a great sense of humor, and love to laugh. I perceive them as entrepreneurial and strong work ethic. Religion is still a big part of Mexican culture, most of the country is Catholic. The minority religion tend to cluster and live in their own neighborhoods. They love food, and still cook from scratch. Many people have live-in maids, you don’t have to be very wealthy, because labor is still very cheap. Mexicans have a lot of national pride. The public education system isn’t great from what I have gathered. Most children raised in families with some money send their children to private school, which is almost always a religious school. The average education level in Mexico is 5th grade, but the average is very deceptive, because so many have barely any education at all, and then many have college educations. Also, I think in the last 20 years more and more people are educated through high school. The wikipedia on education. Here is the wikipedia on Mexican culture.
