Mexicans in the Czech Republic

Abstract

Culture differences are a reality that people are going to encounter at some point in their lives. There are many factors that influence a culture. Such factors may be similar or different from those characterizing other cultures. Different nationalities have different cultural backgrounds that identify them as being part of a country. Although there may exist different cultures within the same country, there are some predominating aspects that can define most of the individuals from the same country. Mexicans and Czechs both have different cultural backgrounds which influence the perception on life and the behavior of their people. When a Mexican immigrates into the Czech Republic, he/she may confront various difficulties due to these cultural differences. If Mexicans are not willing to cooperate and make adjustments when moving to a new country, they will be more likely to encounter harder difficulties than those who at least will try to be more accommodating. By analyzing the profile of the Mexican population living in the Czech Republic, one will have a better understanding of the motives they had for immigrating to this country and the factors which influence their process of assimilation and adaptation.
