on Mexican culture; (2) Describe the ideological similarities/differences
among Mexico’s cultural leaders; (3) Recognize and explain major pre-Columbian cultural
developments that led to the formation of Mexico; and (4) Identify Mexican
values/traditions and their role in cultural behavior. In addition, this
