Anglo American families tend to place their elderly relatives in assisted living or nursing homes, whereas Latino American families tend to take care of their elderly relatives at home, often putting their own lives and careers on hold to do so. What cultural difference between Anglo Americans and Latino Americans does this illustrate? Explain your answer.
What will be an ideal response?
Anglo American culture is more individualistic while Latino American culture is more collectivistic. Individualistic cultures encourage people to make the most of themselves, even if this means moving far from their parents. Collectivistic cultures are organized in strong in-groups and members believe they are obligated to take care of one another.
