The Meaning of Family
Through all my travels thus far one of the things that seems to stand out to me the most is the difference in perspective of Hispanic on family as opposed to other cultures. Family in the Hispanic Culture is the center of our existence. We have a strong sense of self that really is derived from our family and we embrace that. Within the Hispanic Culture life's events are a time of family. We celebrate and suffer as a family. Children are not looked upon as a burden that needs thinking and sacrifice to have. They are looked upon as a blessing and something to be sought after and cherished. The same is to be said of elders. They are like precious gems that everyone loves and adores as opposed to someone who weighs down society and have little value. There is always time for family, which in the Hispanic Culture may be said to be the true heartbeat of who we really are. |
