The Haitian culture is very, very traditional. The status quo is authoritative in the Haitian mind. However the parents did things is the way things must be done. Critical thinking is not taught in Haitian schools or society. The teaching method in the schools is rote: memorize answers for questions. Therefore, there is little or no ability to apply the answers to other situations.
What is amazing is how quickly they adapt to the American lifestyle when they come here. The human spirit is very adaptable when circumstances require change.
