The criminal and civil laws between the united states and mexico very in many areas; this forces the differences and similarities in the way the court systems function.

A misperception of the global community is that countries are comprised of a single culture. In this compartmentalized worldview, a country has the same food, ideas, and traditions as if our national borders are the only aspect to define us. However, Mexico is far from a homogenized culture or identity; there is a myriad of differences within present day Mexico and the Mexican-American Community. In Chicago, the Westside neighborhood of Pilsen showcases the rich diversity of Mexican culture. Pilsen has changed hands as many immigrants thrived in its streets throughout the century and is now predominantly Latino/Mexican. The small neighborhood’s vibrant culture is encapsulated in the brilliantly colored painted murals featured on many building,

Although culturally Mexico closely identifies with Central and South American countries, however, it is situated in North America.

An immigrant's culture and beliefs take a shift, sometimes going extinct, or they evolve to include elements from both countries; where they grew up, and where they’ll grow old. Transculturation is key in order to fit into a new society, those who do it well have a smoother time transitioning. For example the Hmong and Mexicans both had to flee their country, but the Mexicans found it easier to transition to the American culture than the Hmongs.The Hmongs never thought they would leave their home in Laos, they were happy and thriving on their lands. Unfortunately war struck and the Hmong agreed to help the US fight back, due to their involvement in the war, they were seen as traders, therefore they were persecuted by the Vietnamese. Due to this the Hmong people suffered in

Many immigrants come to the United States from all over the world. Some bring their families, some their prized possessions, others come with nothing but determination and the goal of a better life. One thing that every immigrant brings with them is their culture. One of the most dominant minority cultures in the United States is the Mexican culture. The US shares a border with Mexico making it easier for immigrants to stay in contact with their families in their home country and more closely connected to their culture. In 2014, 64 percent of Hispanic people in the United States identify as Mexican("FFF: Hispanic Heritage Month 2015." US Census Bureau. N.p., 14 Sept. 2015. Web. 10 Dec. 2016.).

After reading the article, my understanding of the terms have changed drastically, when i personally think about Mexican-American or Chicana/O’s, i think that they choose to identify as a certain culture that represents them best.

Inclusion of other cultures is a result of marrying into another culture, children become independent from the family, language barriers between the parents and children, distant from family left behind in old country, etc. Virtually every ethnic group has planted its footprint into the history and daily life of the United States (Times – News, 2008). Due to the geographical proximity of Latin countries, Hispanics have played a vital historical role in the development of this country (Times – News, 2008). The way to ensure that the family retains and remember their culture is to maintain their cultural heritage through the knowledge of one’s cultural history and how the people in that culture dealt with struggles and how they handled difficulties in life to know how their source of strength is sustained. History informs us that societies are the result of collective contributions from the various social and ethnic groups (Times – News, 2008). The United States contains the most diverse combination of cultures in the Americas, due to the contributions made by all the native and foreign cultures embraced within this nation (Times – News,

Culture is what people learn and how they use it to maintain their lifestyle by how they were brought up. When it comes down to cultural diversity it is a culture in its own way by the elements and value of each individual and that is what make it a cultural diversity.

In 1970s the term “Hispanic” came from a Census used for each individual in a Hispanic origin or culture of Mexican, Cuban, Puerto Rican, and Central/South

Societies in general, whether it is in traditional china or modern america, all have an order. Other countries, such as america, do not have prominent “ways of life” or “rights and wrongs”. Instead, there is a vague hint at what beauty and other “good” things are. America is a melting pot; there are so many cultures and religions that dictate certain “ways of life.” We subconsciously mix them together to form personal values. But, nonetheless, there is still an order. In every single country, there is a certain type of person that society wants everyone to be. China has a culture (along with other attributes) that is prominent and followed throughout the country, while America’s isn’t as finite and nationally practiced. You cannot generalize

According to Dr. Fons Trompenaars, culture is “the shared ways in which groups of people understand and interpret the world.” (as cited in Kneebone, 2007, pg. 2) Every individual is different in their own kind of way, but being a part of a certain culture is more of a way to be considered different. There is no wrong way to believe in something or value something and I Know as an American, other cultures or maybe even other Americans might not have the same beliefs and values as I. The Chinese and Italian cultures are both two different cultures that both follow their own way of life, they share similar and different traditions when it comes to their pregnancy and childbirth process.
