The Case of Mrs. G.
Mrs. G.’s Feelings
Family is a significant social organization system in the Mexican-American culture. "The
concept of feminism is an all-encompassing value in the Mexican-American culture, where the
traditional family is still the foundation of society" (Eggenberger, Grassley, Rest repo, 2006).
The valuing of family considerations over individual needs permeates the literature concerning
the Mexican-American family culture. Mexican-American family socialization emphasizes the
needs of the whole family with an expectation of loyalty from each family member. The child-
rearing practices of this culture foster the growth of self-identity embedded within the milieu of
the familia (family) (Giger & Davidhizar, 2004). Based on the information provided, Mrs. G.
seems to follow these social norms and highly values family. She and her husband had 5
children, more than your average family, which reaffirms her “need” to be surrounded by family.
Mrs. G. likely feels extremely lonely and possibly even abandoned because 4 of her children and
their families live out of state so she does not see them and get to be an active part of their lives.
Social support literature suggests that Mexican-Americans receive support from their
nuclear and extended families during both daily events and crises (Kemp, 2001; Niska, 1999).
Many decisions, including those concerning individual health care, are made by the family.
Seeking guidance with personal problems appears to be gender linked in the Mexican-American
culture with older Mexican-Americans often relying on their daughters for assistance with health
problems (Niska, 1999). This is seen in Mrs. G.’s case. Mrs. G. only has one child that lives near
her, which happens to be her daughter. Her daughter is the one who has been seeking out
solutions to her concerns about her mother and actively taking steps to implement the plan she
has determined is best for her mother.
