aztequismo 63
Respect and submission to the hierarchy in ascending (superior) order, which is demonstrated by addressing a person by putting an academic or noble title before the surname or first name out of fear or because it is considered disrespectful not to do so in the cultural environment. In Spain, it is only used when addressing a medical professional such as 'Dr. ' and university professors as 'professor'. If someone identifies themselves as 'engineer', 'licensed', etc. you better be from some Country in Latin America, or your own department colleagues will make jokes at your expense. . . This custom was deeply rooted among the Aztecs, original people of America and hence its denomination of aztequismo.
