Other influences in the thesis include Linda Ronstadt, with her juxtaposition of American and Mexican personae; the New York Times interactive graphs showing immigration patterns, and the book "En Hollande avec Hans" which playfully introduces Dutch culture to a French audience.

In conclusion, the goal of this thesis is to create mutual understanding by exercising awareness in the United States and enabling a sense of confidence in the Hispanic sector. The way to achieve it is by creating the grounds for a respectful dialogue between these two cultures.
