As a little girl, I learned a lot about my Mexican heritage. I even joined my parents in their dance group and still involved in it today. Over the years it’s been so fun, and it helped me learn a lot about different Mexican counties. Who would've thought that I would learn so much just by dancing. I know it sounds crazy, but it’s the truth. Also being a little girl I learned about “Day Of The Dead” which in Spanish is called “dia de los muertos” which is a two day celebration. The day’s in which this takes place is September 1 and 2nd. September 1st we honor the children and September 2nd we honor the adults. When I was little I never fully understood why we celebrated people deaths. I always thought when someone dies we show our respects and grief about it, but throwing a whole

Depression often occurs in minority populations due to direct and/or perceived occurrences of racism. A study of Chicago minority adolescents found that a majority experience discrimination, but less than half of those instances were rated “somewhat” or “very disturbing” (Tobler et al., 2013, p. 347).  Regardless of how adolescents rated discrimination experiences, Tobler et al. (2013) concluded that any direct or even perceived experience of racism contributed to mental health issues.  Adolescents who experience racism also report higher rates of high risk behaviors including suicide ideation (Tobler et al., 2013).  Kim (2014) also notes that “perceived discrimination” increases behavior problems

The Mexican culture is a mixture of Spanish and Aztec roots dating back to the 19th and 20th century when Spain had rule over Mexico. Their rich heritage and inhabitance formed their culture today with pride and unbreakable traditions. Back before the Spanish had power over Mexico, it was first occupied with an enormous number of Indian groups that varied in social as well as economic systems. Mexico was shared with the Mayans, Totonac, Huastec, Otomi, Mixtecs, Zapotecas, and Tlaxcala’s, Tarascans, and Aztec tribes. Before the Spanish arrived, the Aztec tribe ruled most of Mexico. They built most of what is known as Mexico City due to a tribe prophecy that demanded the city to be established where there was an eagle with a snake in its beak resting on a cactus. That became a national symbol of Mexico and embellishes on the country’s flag

A country isn’t born from one day to another, and they all have a history. It’s certain that they have come a long way, but because of the sacrifices they’ve had to make along the road.

Mexico’s history has not only affected them, but also the world around them.
