Mexico
Mexico is a land of variety
in geography, history and its people. With over
98 million people, 25% live in Mexico City making
it one of the largest, if not the largest city in
the world. Less than 30% of the population live
in the rural regions. Approximately 60 % of the
people are of mixed Spanish and Indian descent
and they are called mestizo. 30% are
Amerindians; mainly Mayan or Aztec descent.
Most of the population has
access to basic health care, education and a
basic standard of living. However, access to
these services and opportunities to follow your
chosen career path varies between regions and
ethnicity.
People on the whole are
relaxed about schedules and time, giving such
demands lower priority to individual needs and
relationships. This characteristic has started to
change in the urban areas possibly due to the
demands of modern life, although it is still
prominent within the rural areas. As with other
cultures, friendship, honesty, humour and hard
working individuals are all respected within the
society. Personal honour and the honour of the
family name are regarded very high. Furthermore,
the machismo ideal of a strong, virile,
forceful, courageous and masculine man is still
quite prevalent with in the society.
