Culture


            My family culture is based on Irish Christian values. Christians believe that family is very important to their lifestyle. It is considered wrong to swear or use gods name in vain as well as having monogamous relationships. Family is very important to us and we spend many holiday gatherings together. These holidays include religious gatherings such as Christmas, Easter, first communions, and Thanksgiving. We also gather at occasions such as birthdays, baptisms, weddings, and graduations. This gives us a chance to catch up on things that are new in our lives. Father is still considered head of the family and mother is responsible for the home matters but in today's society both take a role in economic status. When in need, often family members are willing to help others out if there are economical or social problems. We often discuss our many problems with our family members who frequently help us work them out.
             In tradition, Hispanics are known to be very family orientated. The Hispanic "family unit" includes not only parents and children but also extended family. In most Hispanic families, the father is the head of the family, and the mother is responsible for the home. Persons within a family have a moral responsibility to aid other members of the family experiencing financial problems, unemployment, poor health conditions, and other life issues. Family ties are very strong, when someone travels to another town or city for a reason, staying with relatives or friends of relatives is a common practice. Families often gather together to celebrate holidays, birthdays, baptisms, first communions, graduations, and weddings. Hispanic families instill in their children the importance of honor, good manners, and respect for authority and the elderly. Preserving the Spanish language within the family is a common practice in most Hispanic homes. .
