Factores socioculturales y pérdida de identidad en la población rural del Ecuador

Abstract

Our country offers a wide cultural wealth that is the product of different traditions that originated in the Andes, the Ecuadorian Amazons, or the coast. This same through time has been generating traditions and customs which have identified us for a long time. The focus of this work is based on the loss of cultural identity in the rural sector of Ecuador, which has been generated due to various social factors, phenomena that have arisen as a result of the need of the socio-political moment, in many of the cases change some of the customs of this sector. Among the influential exogenous factors we have migration, globalization and advances in technology. All these mentioned aspects have generated new customs, ideologies and perspectives, so that the new generations are identifying and adapting to this new era. Given all this, the rural sector has come from less to more trying to adapt to this new trend, the migration of this sector to urban sectors invites them in many cases to avoid certain customs due to the adaptation they must have to the new environment of which they are a part. The hermeneutical approach in the following work invites us to reflect on the importance of our culture and of that identity that we have as part of this great country which presents a great biodiversity of culture thanks to the diverse ethnic groups that inhabit each sector of Ecuador
