What will be an ideal response?
• Diversity: Latin America is a continent and a half with more than twenty different countries; dozens of different languages including Native-American dialects; and diverse geography—Andes Mountains, Amazon basin, Peruvian-Chilean deserts.
• Common heritage: Spanish/Portuguese colonialism and American, European, African, and Native-American cultural influences
• It is hard to maintain strict cultural divisions within Latin America because of the intermingling of Iberian (Spanish and Portuguese), African, and Native-American cultural strains.
