What are people like in this country?

Argentines are generally friendly and hospitable with friends or relatives in other words with close people. While many Argentines focus on building strong communities, also the individualism is prevalent in the country.  Some Argentines may put themselves or their family before the community or in general the country. Taking this into account we can say that for Argentines family and friends are really important for them and we can see this in some traditions that they have like for example drinking mate with friends.
