They live in small villages made up of huts constructed from wood, mud, cow dung, and grass roofs. Their diet includes milk mixed with cow's blood during drought and meat from cattle. Women wear long patterned cloth and collect firewood and water, while men guard livestock.

TRADITIONAL SOCIETIES IN ASIA
Traditional Asian societies were highly hierarchical and emphasized group solidarity over individualism. Society was organized through status groupings based on factors like age, gender, occupation, and family role. The family was the basic social unit, governed through paternal authority. Women's roles and opportunities varied significantly by region, with Southeast Asia being more egalitarian. Education provided a path for social advancement, especially in China, India, Korea and Japan. Overall, these social systems emphasized obligations to one's family and community over individual aspirations and were quite stable and successful for sustaining their civilizations for millennia.

Finally, it discusses artifacts created by tribes and famous Native American historical figures.
American Cultural Values
American cultural values place a strong emphasis on independence, work ethic, and achievement. Individualism is valued over group membership, and it is seen as virtuous to work hard and be self-reliant. Americans feel pressure to be successful and leave a legacy. They prioritize efficiency with their use of time and expect punctuality from others. Politeness and friendliness are also important cultural values, with Americans using please, thank you, and small talk frequently in interactions. Political correctness around topics like race, gender and religion is also highly valued.

Hispanic Culture *
This document discusses key aspects of Hispanic culture that are important for understanding Hispanic families and students. It notes that Hispanics highly value family and collectivism over individual needs. Simpatía refers to pleasantness and congeniality in interactions. Respeto means treating others with respect, as personal power comes from being respected. Hispanics greatly value education though may show it differently through high respect for teachers and reluctance to interfere. They also tend to be more present-oriented and prefer closer personal spaces. Consideration of these cultural factors can help improve school collaboration and communication with Hispanic families and students.
The stolen generation
From the 1890s to 1970s, approximately 100,000 Aboriginal children were forcibly taken from their families and placed in institutions or fostered with white families, as part of the Australian government's policy of assimilation. Known as the Stolen Generation, these children suffered cultural and identity loss, as well as physical, mental and sexual abuse. In 2008, Prime Minister Kevin Rudd formally apologized to the Aboriginal people and the Stolen Generation for the profound grief, suffering and loss caused by the forced removal of children from their families. The national Sorry Day is held annually on May 26th to recognize and honor the Stolen Generation.
Native american oral stories

Medieval period
The document summarizes life during the Medieval Period from 450-1450 AD. Society was divided into three strict orders - clergy, nobility, and serfs.

This study examined factors that influence customer satisfaction and loyalty in Bangladesh's mobile telecommunications industry. A conceptual model was developed relating service quality to customer satisfaction and relating service quality, switching costs, and trust to customer loyalty. A survey was administered to 300 customers of three mobile operators. Regression analysis found:
1) A significant positive relationship between service quality and customer satisfaction, with service quality explaining 10.2% of the variation in customer satisfaction.
2) A significant positive relationship between service quality and customer loyalty, but service quality explained only 4.6% of the variation in customer loyalty.
3) A significant positive relationship between switching costs and customer loyalty, but switching costs explained only 5.4% of the

- 2. Who are the Mestizos? First Mestizos came from the union between a Spanish shipwrecked sailor by the name of Gonzalo Guerrero and his Maya wife, Sasil Ha, daughter of Nachan Can, a Maya leader of Chetumal. First major arrival of Mestizo in Belize- Caste War(1848-1852) in Yucatan
- 3. Traditional Way of Life Religious traditions e.gFinados, Semana Santa Benque Fiesta,Carnaval Music comes basically from the marimba, but they also serenade with the guitar. Dances performed at village fiestas include the Mestizada, the Hog-Head, Zapateados, Jarana, Cuadriz, and Paso Doble Mestizo culture was unique in its regard for close family ties with strict rules of courtship and marriage Food- mix of Maya and Spanish cuisine with corn playing a major role Folklore- Ixtabay, La Llorana, Semite,Tataduende

Socio-Cultural Influence Mestizo’s have influenced society through their Large ethnic group: 48% of Belizean population Sugar cane industry: Help Belize’s economy Food: tamales, bollos, tamalitos, panades, garnachas along with other tasty foods such as relleno negro, chilmole, and escabeche Religion: Majority of Mestizo populace is Roman Catholic Language: “Spanish” spoken by other ethnic groups Spanish is now the mother-tongue of over 40 percent of Belizeans.

Rutheiser(1991) Mestizo population did not begin to emphasize the value of post primary education for the children until the sugar boom (1960’s and 1970’s) More Mestizo’s attended schools beyond primary level. Careers: Doctors, teachers, nurses, technicians…
- 6. Impact of Education System of formal education has been criticised for paving the way to modernization. To be able to speak Spanish in school is important. It is also a requirement for some jobs. Selene Solis : “The decline of Mestizo tradition is due to modernization, religion, migration and education”. ON WAY OF LIFE The women wear modern western-type clothes today, but in the past dressed in huipils, fanciful hats and elaborate jewellery. The men also dress in modern clothes. Some Mestizo’s have become Evangelical Protestants Speaking English and Spanish (Espanglish)in homes INTERVIEW
