The concept of honor and unity has shaped the Hispanic/Latino family identity in a way that they are characterized by large extended but closely-knit families with strong hierarchical structures.
Latino families foster a collectivist culture that places a premium on upholding family unity and honor. This is indicated by the term ‘familismo’, which denotes the Latino’s supreme loyalty to their families.
Coming to the aid of one another in terms of hardships is the norm, and deviance from this is frowned upon.
‘Respecto’ is another term that describes the observance of generational hierarchy in the family. The eldest male is the head of the household.
Latino men aspire to the ideal of machismo (providers) and females adhere to the marianismo (supporting wives) ideal.
