mexicanadas (ana sofia roman)

2021-09-08 14:54:12 UTC

an approach mexicans take towards solving problems. This involves using unusual or home items to fix mechanical or technical issues around home. It is very unusual and representative way of fixing things in a "mexican way". Typically, this is used when we want to avoid going to the store and spending money so we use items at home.

Christianity "Que sea lo que dios quiera"

a01637103 — 2021-09-08 15:01:45 UTC

Mexican people tend to see christian religion as the only religion that exists, and often as the single truth about everything. When something good happens, God made it happen, when something bad happens, God wanted it that way. What Im triyng to say is that sometimes we hope that some unnatural force or being helps us in everyday life, so we don't do anything to improve ourselves

Mexican religión (Kiara Buenrostro)

2021-09-08 15:03:10 UTC

Mexican religion surrounds most aspects of the culture, for example: Family, death, ideologies, ways of raising the children, education, household living, etc. It has an impact on our country because people rely on it when raising their children "appropriately", making it part of our culture to grow up believing everything that the Church tells us to believe. This way, we all grow up with similar ideologies and ways of living, or at least that´s how it used to be. Nowadays, more and more people are becoming atheists, so that may affect the Mexican culture.

Hierarchy, holy mother and marketing.

a01638637 — 2021-09-08 15:13:46 UTC

When shopping, the most repetitive thing in Mexican families is that the mother gives priority to her children, then to her husband and the mother is left until the end. This can be related to the image of "the sacrificed mother" or "holy mother", that is a woman who cares about everyone and left herself always at the end. Many times this is not only something she wanted to do , but that it has been culturally marked as such. Lot of times this is used on marketing to sell better to mexican families.
