Are Mexicans more spiritual than Americans? Have better feelings?

Question

becuase that is what my history teacher told me. In that case I think we need them for spiritual guidance..illegeal or legal

I don't mean religious

Answer 1

On average Mexicans are probably more spiritual than Americans. But every Mexican person is not more spiritual than every American person....you can find many deeply religius and spiritual people here in America too.

Mexicans and other hispanics (from central and south america) are mostly Catholic. Im not sure on exact percentages, but I would say that MOST hispanic countries are about 98% Catholic. 98%!! Thats nearly everyone. So religion is a big part of their culture, and it unites them as a people in common belief. Here in America we have many diverse religions. What unites us as a culture? Maybe TV and McDonalds.

Do your parents have a religion, a church or temple or the like? Try exploring there first, and see a church leader for a private session about your faith. If your parents dont have a religion you can ask your close friends what they believe in, and use that as a jump off point. Or, if you're curious about religions in general you can try to google "religion" or "types of religion" and learn a little bit about a number of them until you find one that "fits" for you.

But you dont need to be a religious person to be spirtual. If organized religion doesnt really seem like your thing just try googling "spirituality" to see what comes up. Here is a wikipedia entry about spirituality:

As a final note, I really hope your history teacher didnt tell you that "Mexicans have better feelings than Americans". That just sounds discriminatory. We all experience TONS of feelings in our lifetime, and I believe there is no feeling that is better than any other. And no person's feelings are better than anyone else's.

Answer 2

Spirituality is not a national or even cultural thing as much as personal thing. Mexicans may go to Church more but that is often as much cultural as religious. My Mexican friend considers herself catholic though she does not feel really sure that God exists. She is thus also a little agnostic but she loves going to Church for the events, the social aspect and the pump and circumstances. Tell you teacher to teach History and leave the Social Science to the Social Science teacher.

Answer 3

it is a mixture. it is like African-American or jap-American. you're one area one race and one area american, (being american would not propose unavoidably being a criminal citizen of the U.S. If the two mothers and fathers have been born in Mexico, then the youngster is Mexican. A peach tree remains a peach tree no count if its' planted in Texas or in China, precise?) in an attempt to respond to your question, while somebody says they are Mexican-American, it ability they seem to be a mixture of the two nationalities. One parent is from Mexico and the different parent is American (in maximum circumstances, the different parent is Mexican-American besides). A slang, greater technical term is chicano. whether it purely APPLIES TO MEXICANS, no longer puerto ricans, brazilians, columbians, etc. in simple terms because of the fact they talk the comparable language would not propose they are the comparable u . s .. (Britian isn't noted as usa....)

Answer 4

Sounds like a sweeping generalization to me. And I don't need spiritual guidance, thank you very much. It would appear that everyone on the planet can give us advice on how to improve ourselves and make things better. Problem is that, for the most part, our country rocks, the others suck. They can just bugger-off.

Answer 5

That is a highly subjective statement. More spiritual. That is between then and their God. All I can tell you is that I do like the Mexican people and the Mexican culture, and I am saddened that we seem so bent on being hateful towards some very decent people.

Answer 6

There are more people in Mexico that actively practice religion, mainly catholic, more recently baptist and others. I am not sure what you mean by "have better feelings" but people are people...they are just like us. I suggest that if you are religious and are seeking guidence, that you speak to a religious leader of a church....like a priest, a rabbi, a preacher, a monk etc.

Answer 7

They can stick that paganistic religion of theirs where the sun don't shine. I would probably go to you know where if I let them lead me. Anyway they showed their 'goodness and spirituality' to all of us in May. They are not here to witness or convert, they are here to take all they can get from people who can't afford it. They don't care who they hurt. Is that what Jesus would do?

Answer 8

Are you a big churchgoer? Jesus, and the whole trip? Religion is just another way to lead people around by the nose...and get them to have more kids than they can support, and keep them poor...

Answer 9

Must be, there getting the benifits that americans need but can't get.

Answer 10

Your teacher must be Hispanic.
