Breaking up with Indian and Spanish identity leads to nihilism. Both Spanish and Indian traditions are denied. Violations from the colonial period are still present in seeing foreign influences as dangerous, as it occurred with Dona Malinche who was seduced and abandoned by Cortes. Personal strength that is part of personalities and wealth is still influential. They are shaped by the colonial period in a society divided into those who inflict suffering and those who suffer. They work in a different way as they want to be engaged in each element of production. Mexicans celebrate death that, like life, has no meaning for them. Fiestas can celebrate death viewed according to Aztec beliefs as a transition in a cyclical stages of life. Fiestas allow for the rejection of impediments and individualities. They are to attract life and health but chaos pervades, uniting through formlessness when everything seems to merge. Through nihilism they deny their existence but also the existence of those who oppress them.įiestas are a way to escape, but it is also the only time when Mexicans open up, engaging in joy and violence. In the conquest of love they escape under the disguise of the mask they create that forges a certain pose. Hence women are best suited when passive because mobility can make them dangerous. They see women through in their own way to realize their own desires. In Mexico they hide behind formalism, closed forms, modesty, and values. They are drawn towards self-destruction, persecution, and redemption. They seek solitude when they become detached from their roots.
They exhibit a sense of restlessness, tendency to exaggerate, ridicule, and form gangs. Through their rebellious nature they display their apparent disinclination to adapt.
There are no group or nationality like Mexicans who are neither Indians, nor Black people nor Americans. It is best examined in the United States because it fostered certain symbolic expressions that can be best identified when compared with other groups and nationalities.
Nations search for their identity and their existence in relation to other nations. We all tend to perceive ourselves as unique until we begin to question our existence and come to the realization that one faces the world alone. Nations experience transformation in the same way that individuals mature.
