Cindy Cortez Dr. Carlos Perez Clas170 3 November 2017 Burn! The history of Latin America is something in which many choose to oversee. Our world in which we live in is not mindful of the history. We are taught that people choose to forget its history and some never want to learn it. Many do not realize that the influences of Latin America are part of our systems, our cultures, our traditions in which we live in today. In this class I have learned about many themes in which why Latin American…

When immigrants decide to travel to America, they are faced with many challenges. Yuri Herrera, a Hispanic author, uses these challenges to inspire his short stories. In his stories, “The Objects” and “The Last Ones” Herrera writes about crossing the border, social hierarchy, and being used by others. Herrera’s story, “The Objects,” is about an office building, and at night its workers turn into inhuman animals and objects. The main characters in this story are the narrator and Rafa. Herrera’s…

and putting in the work so they can adapt to the culture. In the speech made by Til Gurung he states how important refugee transitions are, “I help explain important documents and laws to my community members, help interpret at parent-teacher conferences and medical appointments, teach them about home safety, where to find cultural foods in Oakland, how to use the bus and how to drive.” The services that Til provides for these refugees are very beneficial for them, so they understand basic…

criminal act, instead it tries to define the reality as a subjective way in which people understand the world (Williams & McShane, 2013). Understanding the world using linguistic is the primary structure concept in society. As we know, in the United States the main spoken and written language is English and unfortunately many of the immigrants do not understand it. This difference in understanding becomes very important in aspects of crime related. Many immigrants and many other victims who do…

is in place. In a different scenario, Colin Read was charged with domestic abuse for branding his wife with hot iron. Read only received a fine to be paid because the judge claimed that Read was too busy of a working man to complete any community service. On the other side, Christopher P. Thomas received five years in prison after being charged with domestic abuse. Allowing a man with power and wealth to believe that he may do whatever he pleases and only be required to pay money as the…

I disagree with the use of the full case name cites for supras unless the first name is insufficient to make clear what case you are speaking of; furthermore, I don’t think it should be a rule to always spell out the United States or a States name. I prefer an inline citation and I would maintain the use of Id as reference to the previously cited source. I would use brackets when quoting cases and changing capitalization; furthermore, I would do this because I wouldn’t want my…

The American dream was an ideal that every U.S. citizen, no matter their race or social status, would have equal opportunity for success. The American dream was a beacon of hope for those who had nothing left in their life going for them. The American dream inspired and improved the lives of many to chase after what they truly wanted and needed. For two men, however, the American dream did not live up to its name. From the plays Death of a Salesman and Fences, the characters Willy Loman and Troy…

Americans have defined themselves not by their racial, religious, and ethnic identity but by their common values and belief in individual freedom. As these two writers "Dwight Okita" and "Sandra Cisneros" were highly influenced by the American culture remind us how it was in the 1800s. "In Response to Executive Order 9066: All Americans of Japanese Descent Must Report to Relocation Centers” by Dwight Okita, and “Mericans” by Sandra Cisneros published experiences about the topic of American…

Sigmund Freud,“Mourning is regularly the reaction to the loss of a loved person, or the loss of some abstraction which has taken place such as one’s country, liberty, and ideal and so on. As an effect of the same influences, melancholy instead of a state of grief develops in some people, whom we consequently suspect of a morbid pathological disposition. It is also well worth noticed that, although grief involves grave departures from the normal attitude of life, it never occurs to us to regard…

The movie Biutiful (2010), directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu, presents a plurality of situations in which cultural interaction is at work. Among the many themes, the nature of the relationship between workers of different ethnicities is particularly thought-provoking. The film sees the story of Uxbal, Spanish man of a poor background, who acts as a liaison between immigrants of different ethnic groups (Chinese and African), providing them with work; he is also a mediator between these…
