Latifundia: Latifundia were very large tracts of land that were usually owned by a single person, such as a caudillo, or a family. The concentration of land in the hands of the caudillos and the subsequent political power of the caudillos (who often ruled Latin American regions) led to a large inequality in the distribution of wealth and power in Latin America, contributing to a hierarchy and shaping the political system of Latin America. Guano: Guano was fertilizer made from bird feces in Peru…

want to be identify with, I know some Hispanic like to be called Latino and some just want to be referred to as Mexican. However, she said she is not Latino but Mexican; she is American citizen (Mexican-American). She is currently working as a language bilingual in one hospital in South Holland. Her name was change due to confidential reason. In this interview she will be name Ms. Tina. I create good relationship with the client, how to interpret and use non-verbal communication and attending…

15th our Spanish class celebrated Hispanic Heritage Month. It was an interesting learning experience overall, and it made for some unique days in class that could’ve otherwise been what seemed like days of more paperwork and material to study. (Which isn’t exactly a bad thing either.) There were some things that I enjoyed, but also some things that could’ve been improved upon. So, what about our celebration in class of Hispanic Heritage Month stood out the most to me? The festivals Spanish…

Sandra Cisneros has really impressed me. Before I started researching who she was and what kind of work she did, I had no clue she was Mexican-American or that her work reflected who she is, a latina. I’ve heard of other authors writing about their culture and how it affected them growing up,but none were hispanic like Cisneros. She has really caught my attention with her writing. While I read various amounts of excerpts from her writing, I discovered how proud I am to be hispanic and it got me…

Have you ever imagined a perfect world where no one person wants for any human necessity? One where nations were at peace and economies boomed all while we each enjoyed each other’s culture. Well as we all know reality is far different from this imaginary world and Latin America like many other places is plagued with the some old dogmatic issues as the rest of us. It is my hope to discuss a few of these problems and hopefully shed some light on ways to remedy the problems if I were in the…

What were the key issues facing the nation at the time of intensification of U.S. involvement? Argentina had severe political issues, even before the US government became involved. Before and during World War II, their presidents had been elected fraudulently and this resulted in political unrest. In fact, political unrest is one of the main issues that continues to plague Argentina all the way until its first democratic election years later in 1983. During World War II, Argentina stayed…

Mexican Americans are Americans of full or partial Mexican descent. The Mexican culture is not strange to americans. The United States is a country based off immigrants from different parts of the world, and while living in the US, that fact becomes a norm. It is not considered “exceptional” to meet a person from Mexican descent in the US, as they are the most integrated. The picture I would take would represent a realistic truth of the Mexican-descent population. They are familiar with the…

learn as much about that culture as you possibly can. As reported by Hays (2008) even though the therapist means well unless they are fluent in the clients native language they should avoid speaking the client’s language. As a professional our client’s needs always come first, so if there is a qualified therapist who speaks the client’s language we should refer the client out to them. If there is not a person to refer the client to we should seek out a qualified interpreter and should never use…

In my opinion, Hispanic American are the individuals of a group that has been born, raised or is part of the community of the United States of America, but has its roots in the different countries of Central America, South America and the Caribbean. In a general way I agree with this two authors. When they defined Hispanic American they did it from a demographic point of view, stating that it is the sum of different subgroups and subcultures from different countries. In fact, I…

paintings take me to a wonderful place which is mi familia. Slide 2 Carmen Lomas Garza was born on September 12, 1948 in Kingsville, Texas. Where she and her family resided in a tight-knit Hispanic community where both English and Spanish was spoken. However, Spanish was not allowed to spoken at school. At the tender age of 13 Garza decided to become an artist. Her mother’s cartas de loteria is what inspired her to become an artist. However, her grandmother was a big inspiration since she…
