Hispanics Cultural Distinctives

Yet, as a second generation Hispanic myself I know these are true in our family. These are not only helpful for non-Hispanics who wish to understand us better […]

Hispanic Culture: Tiempo
Hispanics (as other cultures as well) are notoriously known for being late, according to those who go by their watches and not by the Hispanic cultural watch. If for example, you invite someone to a party they will can show up two or more hours late. I’m not kidding here. Not too long ago we […]

Hispanic Culture: Comida (barriga llena corazón contento)
Another cultural characteristic of Hispanic culture is food. There is no question that Hispanics love food. The saying, “Barriga llena corazón contento” (stomach full, happy heart) has the idea that when you have eaten well, you feel happy and satisfied. It reflects the Hispanic culture’s attitude that food has a special place in daily living […]

Hispanic Culture: Pasión (de corazón).

Hispanic Culture: Roles
Hispanic culture follows traditional roles (“roles” is spelled the same in Spanish but the “e” [and s] is pronounced with the equivalent of the short sound in English). Normally, the father is the bread winner outside of the home. He works really hard to provide for his family. Usually, this involves long days and coming home […]

Hispanic Culture: Aquí Se Habla Español
In Hispanic culture the Spanish language is considered just as important as all other values (This is true of other cultures as well)[1] in establishing their identity. Not speaking Spanish, which usually happens with grandkids incurs shaming them with the title of “Gringo” (a slang term for White American) and not fully embracing your own cultural […]
