The single most important characteristic of this Hermandad that appeals to me the most is the tightly-knit brotherhood the Hermanos hold. The Hermanos show each other love and treat each other with respect, which is what a true fraternity is all about. This Hermandad treats each other like family and that is why it appeals to me the most. The Hermanos in this Hermandad stand by each other and represent their fraternity well. These brothers hold a bond that I’ve never witnessed before and being a part of that bond they hold would truly be an accomplishment. Members from all over the state of New York, hold this indestructible bond with one another, I have witnessed Hermanos from different schools treat each other with dignity and respect and that’s something special; they don’t even attend the same school, and yet they still have a substantial amount of love for each other. That’s how close-knitted their relationship with their brothers are. These Hermanos enjoy spending time with each other and their …show more content…
My brother has always been there to support me throughout my academics while growing up, he led me to the right direction. Now that I am in college, I no longer have my brother to support me. But with this Hermandad, I feel like I can still have someone that’ll assist me whenever I’m in need of assistance and can look out for me. These Hermanos have shown that with one another The bond this Hermandad holds is one that cannot be broken. They look out for each other and show love to one another and they never let anything get in the way of their bond. Their brotherhood is their most important characteristic because it’s what builds the Hermandad. Their brotherhood doesn’t end once the students are graduates, it continues throughout life. Without the brotherhood, it wouldn’t truly be an Hermandad, a brotherhood is what defines an Hermandad. As the Hermandad says, “La Unidad Para

The lesson in “Los tres hermanos (The Three Brothers)” involves understanding that the characters involved failed to reflect on the needs of the thirsty, hungry and poor, the lonely, as well as the elderly and are ultimately fairly served by
Family is one of those words that have a significant meaning to various individuals. Family may be viewed one way to an individual and another way to someone else. Family consists of those who have played a particular role in one’s life, whether it is positive or negative. In this paper, I will assess Reymundo’s family both nuclear and extended and speak of how his family has become significant in his life and how they have played a role in his decisions. I will also speak of my personal reactions to the story as well as address ways that as a social worker I could work to impact the gang problems in Orlando.
Yunior struggles with his exposure to male privilege in a Dominican family, as he is very sensitive. Yunior can not fully comprehend why men took actions that women didn’t attempt to do. For example, Papi made all the decisions in the family. “She and tío Miguel got themselves an apartment in the Bronx, off Grand Concourse and everybody decided that we should have a party. Actually, my pops decided...” (306). Papi decided that a party was obligatory to be thrown for their arrival, but not as his expense or home; Tia and Tío hosted it, despite it being Papi’s decision. Male privilege is shown in the way “the women laid out the food and like always nobody but the kids thanked them. It must be some Dominican tradition or something” (312). Instead of having both men and women lay the food, it is only the women’s job. Helping with the preparations is not their responsibility, nor is showing appreciation with a genuine thank you. Junot Diaz gives a personal example on his family in his
Cinco de Mayo, also known as the Anniversary of the Battle of Puebla, is a national holiday in Mexico that commemorates the 1862 Mexican victory over the French forces of Napoleon III in Puebla, Mexico. This holiday, celebrated on the fifth of May, has deep roots in Mexican culture, but in American-Mexican culture as well. Cinco de Mayo serves as a proud reminder of an unlikely victory, as well as a day to express and cherish Mexican pride and heritage.

Yunior’s fathers only concern was obtaining the “American Dream” job security, financial stability, and owning his own home. Yunior’s childhood memory of his father are vague; they have no bond or connection, to Yunior he’s just a stranger. “ He’d come to our home house in Santo Domingo in a busted up taxi and the gifts he had brought us were small things-toys guns and tops-that we were too old for, that we broke right away.” (Diaz, 129). For a young man growing up without a father figure has a profound effect on them that lasts way into manhood. “Boys need a father figure to learn how to be a man, without having this influence in their lives, boys are at risk of growing into men who have problems with behaviors, emotional stability, and relationships with both significant others and their own children.”
When you are a little girl and start your educational pathway you go to the school for thirteen or fourteen years, but probably is not as important, your educative as brother owns.For example, when your mother is sick and something happens at home, who is the person that stay taking care of your mother? I am sure the girl of the family stays at home until mom is fine. In addition to this, when a woman finishes her high school and she is looking for a university, her father advised her to study to become a teacher or a nurse and if she is undecided, it doesn't matter, she can stay at home and helps her mother to cook or look after her or something else. In an article in the newspaper "El Sol de Morelia" Hector Hugo Espinosa confirms this opinion very rooted in the Latin-American

As a traditional, collectivistic cultural group, the Latino population is believed to adhere deeply to the value of familismo. (Arditti, 2006; Calzada, 2014). Familism is an emphasis on the importance of the family unit over values of autonomy and individualism”. (Santistaben, 2012). Family is considered to be the top priority in the Latino culture. Comparatively, at times, this isn’t true of our busy, work devoted western culture. In western culture we think of our family in a nuclear sense made up of a: mom, dad, and siblings. Conversely, Hispanic culture focuses on the whole extended family including aunts, uncles, grandparent, and cousins. Their culture believes having close connections with the entire extended family benefits the development of their children. The entire family helps the child by giving them differing levels of social and emotional support. (American Home Resolutions,
His ostracized youth compels him to spread the message to all other Hispanic Americans in assimilating the necessary skills to survive in the American society while not forgetting his roots like he momentarily did. He describes himself as a “Mexican-American who, in becoming an American, forgets his native society” (Rodriguez, p.230). Feelings of emotional intimacy and belonging are human traits. Everyone wants to belong somewhere. Rodriguez ascertains the theories that ethnic Americans face more dilemmas at finding their place in the world than the average American.
There is a quaint little town sitting at the edge of what is known to most as the South Bay called, El Segundo. Even while being surrounded by LAX airport, the Hyperion Water Treatment Plant, and the Chevron Refinery, this town manages to carry its history and culture all through out its community. We will further discuss A brief history on how this city got its start, what kind of environment does El Segundo offer for families and business large or small and finally, how does it manage to give off that “small town” feeling while being surround by so many large corporations .
In the Latino culture, one of their highest values is the family unit. Family is very important to them and they all share very close relationships; even with
On Tuesday, June 12, 2001, at 1:03 P.M., I was officially welcomed into the Arroyo Rodriguez family. Both of my parents are from the beautiful Guerrero, México. Being from México, it is natural that I have a large family. On my dad’s side, his parents had five girls and five boys (my dad being the youngest of all). Those ten gave my grandparents about 60 grandkids (we’re not sure how many kids one of my uncles actually has). Two of my uncles on my dad’s side passed away (one being the uncle previously mentioned). Then, many of those grandkids gave my grandparents about 50 great-grandkids (my nieces and nephews) and then, a few of those great-grandkids gave my grandparents about 4 great-great-grandkids. Out of the nearly 60 grandkids, I am the youngest and because of this, I do not remember meeting, or have not met or ever even heard of a large handful of these relatives. I never met my grandfather
Latinos and Hispanics are highly associated with every aspect of the United States. Colorado, as one of the most Hispanic-populated states in America, is deeply influenced by Hispanic culture and history. Exploring Hispanics living in Colorado and listening to their stories and ideas can be essential to understanding the United States. Therefore, I interviewed two Latino students currently enrolled at the University of Denver, including Herick Acosta and Gabe Marcano, and attended an educational lecture titled Leadership for a Multicultural Age: New Approaches to Leadership from Latino Communities by Juana Bordas.
