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. |
