Ex: being brown-eyed and now wanting to be blue-eyed. Not only is this not in our DNA but it is also a part of you that can't be modified---> this sets an unrealistic expectation of what you what a person to look like

Women use it to refere to other women as well as to men, but it is not well seen when a man calls a women that.

We also use this word to express that someone is not that bright or had a bad idea. This is a little contradictory because we are used to call our friends this way, why is that?

Mexico is one of the few countries that has a celebration towards death. It is tradition that in Mexico, in the 1st and 2nd of November, altars are made in order for our family members that have passed away to visit us. They include things that the family member liked (food, shoes, drinks, etc.), as well as the cempazutchil flowers, candles, etc., and each altar level has a meaning. The 1st of November is the day that children are celebrated and the 2nd is when other people are. This celebration was made thanks to the mixture of spanish and indigenous traditions. I could say that we most certainly embrace death and even though it is a well known tradition around the world, there's much to the tradition itself.

Suddenly the time pass and the “Virgen of Guadalupe” appears to a poor, and indigenous, strange elements together, so now the Mexicans have strong beliefs in Catholicism, but they never ask where it came from.]]> 2021-09-08 13:10:25 UTC https://padlet.com/lagonzalez13/vhw09ky650e8dljf/wish/1724788886 https://padlet.com/lagonzalez13/vhw09ky650e8dljf/wish/1724789585 I choose this word because in Mexico the word “ahorita” talks about an undefined time lapse that may take 1 min or 10000 years, who knows, this time singularity is hardly or nearly impossible to see in any other part of the world, this can be seen below the water of the iceberg]]> 2021-09-08 13:10:39 UTC https://padlet.com/lagonzalez13/vhw09ky650e8dljf/wish/1724789585 a01637411 https://padlet.com/lagonzalez13/vhw09ky650e8dljf/wish/1724789689 Decision Making

Some mexicans take decisions with phrases like "Si me rifo" or similar to this ones but swearing. ]]> 2021-09-08 13:10:41 UTC https://padlet.com/lagonzalez13/vhw09ky650e8dljf/wish/1724789689 a01637392 https://padlet.com/lagonzalez13/vhw09ky650e8dljf/wish/1724790685 Being Mexican means being very charismatic and expressive people. Not all of us are religious people but all of us believe in ourselves, in our capacity to make friends and strong relationships; supported by our decisions and the way we solve our problems

I decided this is the meaning of being Mexican because since the past until now, we have shown strong emotions and interest in our friends, the people we care of, the community itself, even foreign living beings, etc. Despite our personas believe, our socio-economic status or the place we born.

In the Big "C" culture part, many could think about the events of 1985 or 2017 that were tragic, and directly connect this event to a tragedy and Mexican´s solidarity. 

But then you have what happened yesterday with the earthquake of 6.9 degrees, the first thing that happened was a reflection of little "c" culture.
