Demographics of the United States

in the United States’ economy. There are many factors that constitute their wellbeing, which is defined as “the state of being healthy, happy, and wealthy” (Xiao, 2015). I think it is important to understand these factors and their effect on this ethnic group as well as the rest of the economy. It is especially significant to know the economic status of Hispanic Americans based on income, as they make up a large portion of the population and working force, and are an important demographic in…

In the movie “the exiles”, Kent Mackenzie illustrates the urban life of a group of young American Indians living in Los Angeles after urban relocation. They struggle to overcome many obstacles and try to survive in the city, yet they all hold their own visions for their city life. Many American Indians left the reserve, hoping to find a good job, a nice home and education for their children (Rocky Mountain PBS). However, when they arrived at the city, they found that everything they knew was…

Today, we live in a society where current events and the social issues of race, class and gender engulf our lives. These issues and events can be some of the most important experiences we, as humans, will ever have the privilege to live through.

Either way, each of our experiences has had a part in shaping who we are today.…

Some of the data is hard to understand, especially when looking at the information about race in the city. In 1950 the city was 97 percent white, while lowering to 66 percent in the most recent census (City-Data, 2015).

What’s An American Dream for Immigrants Undocumented immigrants come from different parts of the world not just Mexico. The ones that are mostly judged for coming to America to find and live the American Dream are the Latinos.

Many individuals in the United States believe that we live in a post-racial world and that racism and discrimination are part of the past. They believe that everyone coexists in a world where segregation and inequalities no longer exist based on race (Dyer 2004). This, I don’t consider it to be true. Currently, many inequalities based on race are still present and a minority of the population in this case, rich white men, still control many aspects of life such as politics, education, and the…
