Discuss the concepts of "Machismo" and "Marianismo." How similar or different are Latin American women's roles today as compared to the past? If different, what brought about the change? Compare women's roles in Latin American countries with other countries such as the United States?
I provide a very practical and easy to understand explanation for Machismo and Marianismo in the Latin American Culture. In so doing, I explain the origins of these ideals, their relationship to traditional values, and the different roles of the sexes within society.
