Black Hispanic and Latino Americans

My own understanding of La facultad is an instinct reaction that we used for protect ourselves from threat or unknown. For example, people will freak out when they see a person who act wired in the bank because this person look like a suspect robber. When people encounter something or someone that whatever look suspect or unknown to them, their actions would be without unconsciousness. Rios illustrates this concept in "Translating Translation" by the stories that he states in his essay. First…

The cultural group that I chose would be latin Americans. Latin America generally includes those parts of the Americas where Spanish, French or Portuguese prevail: Mexico, most of Central America, and South America. There is also an important Latin American cultural presence in the United States. The increase in immigration due to more convenient methods of transportation and communication means that modern societies will have to deal with new realities.The new realities that they will have…

Immigration affects a lot of different families in many different ways. Immigration is a subject in many different texts as well. A lot of the texts portray immigration in different ways. In The Red Umbrella by Christina Diaz Gonzalez and “Band-Aid for 800 Children” both portray the subject of immigration in very different and similar ways. In the text The Red Umbrella the author portrays the subject differently from “A Band-Aid of 800 Children” by using many different techniques. In the Red…

are numerous encounters of discrimination in the Los Angeles area towards Latinos. Discrimination affects Latinos mentally and physically in several ways. Latinos face racial profiling, verbal and physical discrimination. It's not even their fault that they face this kind of discrimination, but how people in society viewed them as. In California there are laws to limit discrimination against minorities, especially with Latinos in the Los Angeles area, why is it that Anglo-Europeans still…

In "Names/Nombres" Julia is also a Mexican American that moves to America with her family. Her experiences aren't as bad as Delgado's; but she too had to learn to be herself. When Julia moves to New York, everyone mispronounces her name, or gets it completely wrong. Whether it was Judy, Judith, Jules…

status of our country between groups, specifically Hispanic/Latino. First, I thought the video ‘Becoming America’ greatly emphasized the concept of the Latino/Hispanic paradox. This is when newly immigrated members from Hispanic countries experience great health at first. The video mentioned their health being even better than those with high SES. However, it was made clear, that over time (within a generation) these newly immigrated Hispanics/Latinos experience worse and worse health, as the…

POS 324/LCS 375 Latino Politics in the U.S. Spring 2016 Prof. Cruz 2nd Essay Using literature and research from previously conducted experiments, in “‘Hispanic’ and ‘Latino’: The Viability of Categories for Panethnic Unity,” author Jose Calderon attempts to explain the history behind how America has come to view the Spanish speaking population as one homogenous group, when in fact “the groups that are said to reflect a Hispanic or Latino ethnicity differ sharply in historical experience,…

This film tells the story of the life of brother and sister, Enrique and Rosa who are indigenous Guatemalans. They are first faced with the…

“The Hatred Within” is the story of José as he goes through his adolescent years. José is Latino, but does not identify with the Latino community or even his family for that matter. He, in fact, hates it and all that it stands for, associating more with the white community. Although José never denied his heritage, he always checked off the box for Latino, he never knew what it meant to be Latino or cared to know either. In the beginning of José’s story, there was some obvious problems in his…
