Examining the threat of Latin American's cultural identity in the global market

Latin America, a place where a traditional cultural seeks for profitable market places. Latin America is a very modernist society where traditional institutions are vital in their culture. Family trends and job occupations are literally passed down from generation to generation. Questions arise in Latin American whether the hybrid states can move towards democracy and compete in global markets. For Latin America to flourish they must become globalized or they will fall behind the technical divide. The problem of globalizing the markets is that it may lose the states sense of cultural identity. When moving forward using hybrid cultures, change becomes a part of the new and traditions become lost. Traditions in cultures are very important in our societies. Traditions set us apart from one another by allowing cultures in the celebration of who they are and their ancestry. Although tradition is important when staying true to one's culture, new traditions and possibilities towards your cultures survival is absolutely eminent in life.
