Social Issues In Argentina

Superior Essays
Latinos have many issues that they may face depending on which country that they may reside. The objective of this paper is to discuss a social, political and an economical issue that Argentinians specifically experienced. Argentina’s issues are the best ones to discuss only because I admire that county and have always wanted to go there, mostly because I really admire their flag. I love the idea of the sun and the sky blue colors which is why it was my first choice. The social issue that Argentina is facing is gender equity which mostly pertains to the violence against women and girls. The economic issue that they are facing is unemployment. The last issue, which is the political issues, is political turbulence. This means that their state …show more content…
The social issue that Argentina is having is Gender inequity. That men are not having issues in society because people generally treat them with respect whereas women are treated otherwise. The issue is violence against both women and girls. There was a law to prevent violence and punish those who abuse women. “This provides for free legal assistance for women who experience violence and sets out protocols for the collection and systematic recording of official data on gender-based violence.” (Amnesty-usa)/ The law never implemented, which is why women need more protection. Gender –related issues is prevent in Argentina as 1,800 women were murdered because of their gender alone (ibtims). This alone should be reason enough to fix this issue within their country. The women did not have a voice and they got tired of waiting and took their actions into their own hands. An example of an issue that women go through is that there was one case that concerned a minor. “The body of 14- year old Chiara Pazz was found underneath her boyfriend’s home…She was beaten to death after he boyfriend discovered she was pregnant. (ibtimes). This is an issue because they got in a relationship and decided to have consensual sex in their …show more content…
We discussed the social issue of Argentina pertaining to gender inequality. If men and women are not going to be treated equally and women are going to be disrespected, then something has to happen. There are bizarre laws that do exist in many nations. They should petition and get the signatures that they need in order to create a bill that says that “Anyone regardless of sex, ethnicity, social class, and other biological factors shall be sentenced to life in prison, if they are proven guilty of murdering someone.” I am not familiar with their legal system, but I do know that they too create bulls that take time to become laws just as my country does. Their political issue is that they have political turbulence, as a whole, because their state of politics is below subpar. Their peso has dripped it’s value, it’s possible for presidential reelection, armed robber keeps happening, etc. presidential reelection should not be allowed for more than two consecutive terms because that would ensure that bad presidents that the public may vote for gets to keep having power of autonomy of the country. The other problems mentioned like robbery. For example, needs to ensure safer ty of all homes. They need the proper funds to make sure that all homes have systems that they need. The economic issue about unemployment needs to just get

    The methodology that use LatCrit to achieve its goal is narrative: “One of the goals of CRT and LatCrit has been to challenge and add context to racialized histories. This particular CRT/LatCrit intervention has often been achieved through narrative methodology.” (Barnes, 2011) In this way the stories of several circumstances of discrimination can be understand from the perspective of Latina/o people. In addition to this, what is interesting is that LatCrit Scholars are more open to new ways of expressing research, such as drama and image (Johnson, 2004).…

    “One out of every four children in the United States is an immigrant or the U.S.-born child of immigrants and many schools are ill-equipped to meet their needs (Tamer, 2014)”. To better prepare me to meet the needs of immigrant students I chose to read Enrique’s journey by Sonia Nazario. This book caught my attention because I know very little about immigration and reading this book will allow me to gain a better understanding of what it is like to come from a different country into the United States. I have only heard negative things about immigration. Reading this book I want to gain a new perspective on immigration and get an idea of what immigrants go through as they assimilate in a new environment.…

    58.6 million is the number of Hispanics currently in the U.S. (Krogstad, 2017) Although it is a commonly known ethnic group, a vast majority of people probably don’t know the history of the word itself. They might know the definition, but not how it came to be, or what it meant in another time. In this paper I will inform the reader how and when the word Hispanic has changed throughout time. I will do this by first familiarizing the reader to the history of the word, second informing the reader of modern-day interactions with the word, finally illuminating the reader to personal interactions of the word.…

    The central theme of this book is that you can’t understand the huge Latino presence in the United States if you do not understand the US role in Latin America, the Latino presence in the country is, in fact, a product of the harvest of empire. This presence is the result of over a century of domination. Most of the immigrants came from countries that were more dominated by the United States. Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Salvador and Guatemala are the countries from which there has been a mass migration. The majority of them are fleeing civil wars, as in the cases of Guatemala, Nicaragua and El Salvador, where the US government States played a key role in supporting one group or another.…

    There are multiple health issues facing citizens of Hispanic countries, ranging from underfunded public health sectors to tropical diseases to women’s reproductive health. Health issues in Hispanic countries seem to be caused by multiple factors, such as lack of funds due to economic crisis, an unstable government, and the strong church influence. By dedicating more time and funding to improve the quality of the health care for their citizens, in addition to altering laws involving the church and medical procedures, the overall health of citizens in Hispanic countries can thrive. One major issue that seems to impact the Hispanic world involves women and their reproductive health. Given the strong influence of the Catholic church in these…

    The presence of Latin American roots in America have existed since the beginning of time; however, their presence in the national scene was basically ignored. Recent debate surrounds America’s diversification or the “Browning of America”-- which is essentially the continuous reshaping of America through its Hispanic influence. Yet thousands of people fail to understand America has always been Hispanic. Hispanic culture can be traced back more than 500 years ago. The impact Hispanic heritage has had on the political and cultural structure of America, is however put aside when legal actions are taken against the Latin American community.…

    Hello Class, I have to sat this is one of my favorite discussion forums, for it highlights the immergence of the Latino’s presence in politics. I believe that this recent immergence is the reason for the anxiety the white culture feels about Latinos as discussed in Scott Clements’ “The data on white anxiety over Hispanic immigration”. One argument that Clements made was that when whites read a negative story featuring a Hispanic immigrant had a strong political reaction. He further describes that this creates an anxiety for whites and caused them to form a higher opposition to immigration. I can support this claim, as I can see an overreaction to immigration happen in the 2016 Presidential campaign.…

Both historically and recently, there has been high female participation in these resistances, therefore demonstrating a feminisation of resistance in Argentina.

    The eighth largest country in the world, second largest in Latin America, subdivided into 23 provinces and one autonomous city, is home to approximately 43,417,000 Argentinians holding the world’s largest population of Italians outside of Italy and the second largest population of Jews in the Americas, outside of New York. The name Argentina comes from the Latin word for silver, Argentum, and they chose this name because the original European settlers thought the country was full of silver and somehow this rumor reached Spain in 1524. Their mother tongue is a unique dialect of Spanish called Lunfardo, which is known to be derived and developed from the criminal slang in Buenos Aires. Being the world’s 5th leading producer of wine and the origin of the Tango dance, their culture is rich and comprised of refiner tastes. The workforce is 40 percent female and 30 percent of congressional seats are also held by women, so they are a land of forward-thinkers.…

    Although this study was conducted many years ago the result are still the same today, not that much has changed. Gender inequality has had some minor adjustments with regards to the wage gap. In a more recent study "which examines wage differences across ethnic minorities of the region, it points out that, although the average gender wage gap decreased from 25 percent to 17 percent between 1992 and 2007, the disparity remains quite high and there is still plenty of work to be done" (Latin American and Caribbean Women, 2012). The wage gap is in many countries globally but not as severely or notably experienced as it is in Latin America. However, this also discusses how men are paid more and women are encouraged to stay home and raise the children.…
