Presentation of cultural and spiritual practices
1. Traditional beliefs and history
It is my choice to represent the Mexican-American community as the cultural group. Due to their dual citizenship as Mexican citizens, they have had to face many difficulties in the past. Many Mexicans were driven from Mexico by political unrest and economic hardship in the 19th Century. This led to their migrating northwards, encountering racism and discrimination on their way.
Some members may have strong traditional convictions, such as Catholicism. Others may be more open to ancient Indigenous traditions. There is also an emphasis on family values in all aspects of everyday life, such as food consumption and inter-personal interactions.
2. Socialization practices:
Socialization in the Mexican-American community is often done through extended families, which reinforce core values and offer support when needed. Parents encourage their children to take advantage of higher education opportunities in order for them to have a better life.
This process starts at home where children learn important lessons from their parents such as respect for authority or responsibility towards one’s self and others – instilling these principles early on helps ensure that individuals will be able to live up to expectations even when faced with adversity.
3. Acculturation and its impact on the brain:
As members of this culture begin immigrating further into the United States it is becoming increasingly common for them to face issues related acculturation – meaning having difficulty adjusting one’s culture/beliefs with those found in new surroundings without completely abandoning their roots.
In order to communicate with families, it is possible for younger generations to switch from Spanish or English and create language barriers. Additionally, financial pressures associated with immigration status may prevent some individuals from achieving certain goals such as obtaining higher education or obtaining employment in specific industries leading them down alternate paths than originally planned – all things considered it becomes evident that proper guidance and support are essential if we hope to ease this transitionary period for newcomers moving forward
Four Elder roles/traditions
Elders in Mexican-American families play an integral role, passing on knowledge and practices to the next generation. They also pass down stories that help build a sense of identity for their children.
By helping keep traditions alive elders often act as embodiments history providing valuable insight into how certain habits originated why they remain important today –– this includes topics such celebrating holidays maintaining health relationships upholding religious beliefs etc… Additionally elderly persons are also looked upon offer wisdom advice comforting words whenever needed providing crucial emotional support within smaller units larger communities .
5 Public health policies that have an impact on public health:
Public health policies generally revolve around improving overall well-being through preventative measures access services etc…. This regulation is particularly pertinent to members Mexican American communities because of widespread inequalities across the country. For example lack insurance coverage undocumented immigrants make accessing healthcare resources nearly impossible leaving many underserved populations vulnerable illnesses diseases spread lack treatment options further exacerbating problem < br >< br > Furthermore poverty levels far exceeding national average put additional strain already scarce resources thus highlighting necessity comprehensive strategy address socioeconomic factors contribute negatively people’s physical mental conditions Lastly policy makers should strive increase awareness different cultures order provide culturally sensitive care patients hoping achieve equitable outcomes across board
