After watching Please Don’t Bury Me Alive, Zoot Suit, Real Women Have Curves, … and the earth did not swallow him, Bless Me Ultima and Walkout my perspectives on Chicano Cinema entirely became different from the impression I had before, on the subject. I had heard of the word Chicano before and knew that it is associated with being Mexican-American but I had no extensive knowledge of all that applies to being a Chicano, Chicano history, culture, heritage and what is considered a Chicano film. I…

Schoolwide Positive Behavior Interventions & Support (SWPBIS) is a schoolwide or school district systems change process. PBIS this is not an intervention, but a framework or an approach, which has shown a significant impact on schools who implement this process (PBIS, 2016b).

I am raising two young boys and am glad to be learning the concepts of patriarchy and the social differences between men and women. The topic of gender in this class has left me with many questions and concerns as they grow up to be older boys, teenagers, and adult.

When the Grape and Delano March happened it was for the workers that were not getting support, so says Cesar Chavez. This was making immigrants struggle. I personally think this might have changed these citizens' lives and made them have a fair life as others that did not struggle and were not immigrants. These events…

Through Howard Zinn, I learned during the 1800s, women didn’t experience the freedom that girls today have. Women during the 1800, of all races and social status faced some sort of discrimination. Through my interviews, I learnt that both of my subjects didn’t feel that they faced discrimination, oppression, or unfair treatment because of their gender.
