East Los High is a TV soap directed toward teenagers that has been described as a “Latino Degrassi meets Gossip Girl meets Glee.” The show, which just ended its fourth season, consists of 20-minute episodes that air on the digital platform Hulu. East Los High is more than a teen soap, though. The was created to show young people making healthy choices when faced with difficult situations while refraining from being “preachy or moralistic.” For example, one character finds out she is pregnant and…

as a separate entity, I would like to give some background on the differences between male and female Latinos. Female Latinos outnumbered their male counterpart (57% to 43%) in college classrooms (Lango 1995). Perhaps, this may be cultural since we see the same trend with US-born population (Lewin 2006). I just wanted to recognize that gender also plays a role in academic achievement in Latinos as well as other ethnic groups. Primary education in the United States refers to the first eight-nine…

that called for an all African American cast. At first it was mainly white playwrights writing short plays about blacks fight for freedom from slavery (Hill & Hatch, 2003, p. 17). Then African Americans started to write plays about their culture and how they felt in the world. Culture can be defined as “… the values, shared meanings, social norms, customs, rituals, symbols, art and artifacts, ways of perceiving the world…” (King, 2003, p. 67). From African American writers the world was given…

The American Dream In the continent of Asia where I used to live, the American dream has brought to my attention to live and work here in America. Certainly, there are three categories that I want to share to which this American dream for me is well and alive and these are as follows: Due to poverty, due to lack of employment and due to family responsibility. First category is due to poverty. Anyone in my hometown in Asia wants to come in America because of poverty and to have…

No Hispanic group has contributed more to the nation’s [US] prosperity than Mexicans, yet none makes white America more uneasy about the future (Gonzalez, 2011, p. 96). Mexico is at the core of our country’s Latin heritage and every 2 in 3 Latinos in America are Mexican. But, how did Mexicans get to the discrimination that they are suffering today? In this paper, I will show the violence Mexicans endured following the U.S.-Mexico War, and the many Mexicans groups who were fighting back against…

demonstrated by entire sections of American communities becoming marginalized. A central facet of this marginalization is the unequal treatment of Hispanics/Latinos which becomes apparent within the entirety of the American criminal justice system. Racial and ethnic biases are and have been evident within the Unites States court system, the criminal justice system and those charged with public safety. There is a constant theme regarding the treatment of Latino Americans in the U.S.,…

In an ever-diversifying world, especially here in America, a challenge many of us face is cultural boundaries. It is not uncommon for us to be oblivious to other cultures because it isn’t one of our priorities to be knowledgeable about them. While pursuing a career in physical therapy, I am sure to treat a multitude of people from all over the world. It is imperative to my profession that I am exposed to as many interactions with cultures, other than my own; to increase the rapport I hope to…

as Americans within a couple of generations. For Asian Americans and Latino Americans, though, it has been a different story. There are a few different reasons as to why Asian and Latino immigrants may have been and continue to be treated differently; these include, discrimination because of the color of their skin, their willingness to do hard work for low wages, nativism, and the strong community and ethnic bonds of Latino and Asian communities. Not unlike other immigrant groups, Latinos and…

While the case ruled for separation of black and white schools to be unconstitutional there was also the fact that colored people still were not considered U.S citizens or the lack of representation given to the minority’s in the 60s do not demonstrate how the U.S was more freeing. The black power movement started in with Martin Luther KIng and his non-violent protests and has had its way through many other stages. Martin was one of the first successful black movement advocates, because he was…
