Reading about the struggle for immigrants to receive healthcare is pretty disheartening. You imagine an individual or a family who goes through all the work of getting to the United States, establishing themselves with a job and a halfway decent place to live, and then working their hardest to contribute to society, but at the end of the day, they can’t get healthcare coverage either because of their status or the fact that they work jobs in a sector that provides little to no coverage.

Racial inequality is a major problem in the USA and has only seemed to continue growing. When we take a look at the history of America we see it to be riddled with misfortune for those who have some pigmentation in their skin.

We see the Latino and Black community being smeared while the white…

In 1970, the United States government came up with the word to describe a person of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin regardless of race.

Now, we find superheroes in almost any form of media. Writers routinely revisit stories to deepen their mythologies and, sometimes, to try to correct faults from the tunnels of the past. Because these characters live throughout history -- many of them are over 60 years old – but unfortunately they don 't…

As the global hegemony, the United States has both a great deal of power and plenty of responsibility. The United States is recognized all throughout the world as its superpower and it has legitimacy to back it up. Even if we were in a decline from being the global hegemony, no other country comes close to our GDP. Many suggest that China is the next hegemony and that they will be the next authority, but no one can really tell by just using raw data alone. As we discussed the debate of what…

and sought dreams for society; especially for the Latinos community, but we do not know what are the challenges we would have to face and overcome to successfully accomplish the longed dream. When I was a kid what I desired the most was to have a united family. My dad used to spend half of the year working in California as a landscaper while my mom and I were in Mexico living our lives in our little old-traditional town located in the suburbs of the city.

three decades of growth, and they had risen to become the world’s second largest economy. Japanese companies were eliminating American industries, from automobiles to consumer electronics.

In The Benevolent Empire, Robert Kagan’s main focus is on the necessity of the benevolent hegemony of the United States as it is an empire that protects its allies more than itself. Kagan begins by making a reference to the Lewinsky scandal and how the world reacted to a possibility of having a weakened American president.
