Why do we keep Spanish Heritage alive?

We keep our Spanish Heritage alive. We, as citizens of the melting pot, have many types of cultures in us. Even though we might not have Spanish blood in us, we still help keep it alive. It may be by the food we buy, or by the clothes we wear, or by the music we listen to, we keep the Spanish Culture alive! You may think that you may not help, but in many ways you do, even more than I just listed. You may donate to charity which goes to Spanish kids in poverty, you're keeping Spanish heritage alive. You may ask why this is important, it's very important. Without Spanish heritage we wouldn't have things that we have today, and those are everyday foods and items. Everyone keeps it alive, and it's very important to.

When you buy a fruit, You contribute to the Latin culture (depending on where and how you buy it). If it was grown in a predominately Latin area, the majority of the income will go to that grower. We always contribute in some way, sometimes we just don't notice. It's not only with fruit, it can be other types of food or items such as electronics of statues or etc. If you buy a doll for your little cousin for example, that money that you spent will most likely go to who ever made the doll, probably will get most of the money. Without Latins we wouldn't have as much of a good economy as we do now. The Latin percentage in the United States is 17%. It's the highest out of all foreign races. Many people are proud of their race, and Hispanics are always proud. Many of them work just as hard. We keep Hispanic Heritage alive because they make a large group of race in the world. They are hard workers, proud, and never give up. Many of them are the common stereotype of the USA, they never give up and are always working. Many towns and cities started because of Hispanics having a dream of starting something new. Migrant workers always dream this. They break their backs everyday so that their families can have something to eat. We copy their inspiration, we want the drive, that commitment, that motivation. We thrive just like them. We both share that in common. Many Hispanic men and women love the United States of America because we have that in common. (country reports)

They bring diversity. Look at the popular Florida city of Miami. Miami is one of the Hispanic rich places in the United States. Most are of Cuban descent, but not all of them. They show their pride. Miami is just one of so many cities that have a large percentage of Hispanics. Many Latinos and Latinas come to United States looking for a job, a change, a new beginning. The United States is perfect for them. They can fit in so many of countless of cities. They won't get strange looks if they come here. They'll be accepted for who they are. They bring their culture to the United States to add uniqueness. For example, food, clothing, toys, furniture, style, crops, people, customs, and much, much more. Those are just to name a few. Many customs that you may have today originated from spanish descent. For another example, in Spain, many people eat at times that we might find weird. They also have the amazing tradition that is bull fighting. They have the passion of playing Futbol. They have so many traditions, and some have been brought over to the United States and other countries. Some people of Latino Descent have the burning passion of playing Futbol, others eat at later times. They may want to Bull fight. Thats how bring diversity. (fact monster)

Finally, they keep us alive. Not only do we keep them alive, we do also. We both need each other to survive. They help keep the economy going. Without them, not many people would want back breaking jobs (not all latinos have those jobs, it's just an example). They wouldn't bring the diversity that is the United States of America. We need each other to survive. They bring in customs that may be foreign to us. Latino population around the world is constantly growing. It's also growing in the United States of America. New ideas are coming in, from latinos, that could be the next breakthrough. Thats why we keep them alive, they keep us afloat, and we carry them with us. (Grandma)

Now you know why we keep the Hispanic Heritage alive. They help the economy. When we buy a fruit from a latin shop, it helps both of us. They keep us diverse. When you have a latino friend who loves the sport of soccer, thats because they were brought up that way, watching the sport. Finally they keep us alive. We are like allies, best friends, we help each other strive.

End.

We keep them alive, because they keep us alive.
