During any birthday, bbq, holiday all of my family gathers. During these celebrations there is always a lot of food, tacos, enchiladas, beans, mole and so much more. The music is loud enough for the neighborhood to hear and we dance all night. ]]> 2021-09-25 19:40:45 UTC https://padlet.com/hsmaese/os7wtywdiybmu3o5/wish/1767717335 hsmaese https://padlet.com/hsmaese/os7wtywdiybmu3o5/wish/1767729667 Mexico's state bird is the golden eagle which symbolizes strength. The bird is also on the Mexican flag, this flag is often flown by Mexican-Americans as a symbol of where the come from and their love for their culture. The golden eagle is often used by Mexican-Americans as well as a symbol of their home culture. ]]> 2021-09-25 19:56:03 UTC https://padlet.com/hsmaese/os7wtywdiybmu3o5/wish/1767729667 hsmaese https://padlet.com/hsmaese/os7wtywdiybmu3o5/wish/1767733801 Mexican-American Humanities is the study of the blended culture Mexican-Americans bring to the USA. This includes the values, the food, the missing history, and the celebrations. 

In this class we watched a video about the names used for Mexican-Americans such as Chicano, latino/a and Hispanic. This shows the dilemmas of personal exploration of what it means to be Mexican and American. When studying a culture you are apart of yourself it opens a lot of doors for this type of self exploration. ]]> 2021-09-25 20:01:24 UTC https://padlet.com/hsmaese/os7wtywdiybmu3o5/wish/1767733801 hsmaese https://padlet.com/hsmaese/os7wtywdiybmu3o5/wish/1767734999 I would describe Humanities as studying aspects of human society and culture. Humanities is very important to learn as we grow up as it teaches us different branches of knowledge with the unique ability of self expression. It defines the study of human culture, such as literature, philosophy, history, ethics, and criticism. Humanities include the stories, history and ideas that help us make sense of our past, present and even who we are as a person.

Many other people were in Mexico long before Spain explorers set foot there. The Mayans and Aztecs for example had been there many many years prior. They created their own cities many larger than any the explorers would have seen in Spain. They had very intricate detailed communities. However they weren't loved by the natives due to their human sacrifices and other spiritual intakes. When the Spain came over they planned to bring religion and protection to the natives in return for them being able to colonize and take any resources found such as gold. The mixing of the Native Americans and the Spanish, plus Africans that were brought as slaved workers created the mix of cultures and skin colors. The Spanish had a place for every mix of people, but they weren't equal. This is the foundation that is now Mexico. ]]> 2021-09-25 20:11:46 UTC https://padlet.com/hsmaese/os7wtywdiybmu3o5/wish/1767742432 hsmaese https://padlet.com/hsmaese/os7wtywdiybmu3o5/wish/1767744081 2021-09-25 20:13:44 UTC https://padlet.com/hsmaese/os7wtywdiybmu3o5/wish/1767744081 hsmaese https://padlet.com/hsmaese/os7wtywdiybmu3o5/wish/1767744765 2021-09-25 20:14:35 UTC https://padlet.com/hsmaese/os7wtywdiybmu3o5/wish/1767744765 hsmaese https://padlet.com/hsmaese/os7wtywdiybmu3o5/wish/1767745463 2021-09-25 20:15:29 UTC https://padlet.com/hsmaese/os7wtywdiybmu3o5/wish/1767745463 hsmaese https://padlet.com/hsmaese/os7wtywdiybmu3o5/wish/1767745828 2021-09-25 20:15:57 UTC https://padlet.com/hsmaese/os7wtywdiybmu3o5/wish/1767745828 hsmaese https://padlet.com/hsmaese/os7wtywdiybmu3o5/wish/1767746801 2021-09-25 20:17:08 UTC https://padlet.com/hsmaese/os7wtywdiybmu3o5/wish/1767746801 hsmaese https://padlet.com/hsmaese/os7wtywdiybmu3o5/wish/1767747363 2021-09-25 20:17:49 UTC https://padlet.com/hsmaese/os7wtywdiybmu3o5/wish/1767747363 hsmaese https://padlet.com/hsmaese/os7wtywdiybmu3o5/wish/1767771300 2021-09-25 20:40:56 UTC https://padlet.com/hsmaese/os7wtywdiybmu3o5/wish/1767771300
