He later went to become Secretary of Housing and Urban Development from 2014, till the end of the Obama presidency. An inspiring Hispanic political leader, such as Julian Castro, can have a great impact on our community especially in the way we do business. In this motivational speech, Julian Castro gave guidance to the young minds in the audience without emphasizing on his political views or goals. He mentioned that for the United States to be one of the world’s leading countries of the 21st century several things should be done. Some of those things …show more content…
include providing free healthcare, and raising the minimum wage. Throughout this essay you will see different views on these policies and political goals that he may have, and how they can impact our businesses. One of the most impacting things for many organizations mentioned during Castro's speech was that of having a higher minimum wage.
Since Castro did not specify how he plans on continuing his political career, we don't know how much of an effect he will have on pushing this change. He also failed to mention how much the minimum wage should be increased. If he were favoring the 'fight for $15', and would have a significant effect on implementing it, then this would surely affect how we do business every day. The effect of having our national minimum wage at $15 would influence small businesses and large organizations alike. Many organizations that employ people to handle retail jobs compensate them close to, or at minimum wage. For our community, this means that payroll expenses would double for most organizations that employ for retail jobs. Some large corporations such as Walmart, McDonald's, and Target, have already demonstrated how they would adapt if this were to occur. Some of them have already began to opt this into their organizations. Others have attempted to figure out ways in which to cut down labor costs by replacing employees with technology. Many argue that it is simple for large corporations to adapt into such a change, but that in reality small or local businesses will be affected the most. These individuals believe that since these businesses are already earning small profits an increase in payroll expenses can be detrimental for them. As a business student, it's important to understand that this is possible if Julian Castro were to run for Texas governor, because I will likely be involved with many small
businesses. Another point brought up by Castro during his speech is that everyone should have access to healthcare. Health care regulation laws affect our society, not only at the individual level but at the organizational level as well. Take the Affordable Care Act for example, it requires employers to talk to their employees about Marketplace opportunities. Among this, the Affordable Care Act requires organizations to do several things in order for their employees to have competence with what this law has to offer. Similar to the minimum wage remark, Castro failed to give much information on how he plans on engaging in this politically. Since forty-seven organizations provide healthcare insurance in Texas, we can be certain that a change in health care regulation laws would affect the way we do business. In general, this speech given by Julian Castro was meant to inspire and motivate young minds, not to advocate his political stance or views. He spoke about his past and gave advice on how to achieve our goals in life. As mentioned before, he spoke very little about his political plans or views. When asked about running for governor, he stated “We will see what happens after the 2018 election”. This being said, if we do expect to see any significant effort from him to make these things happen, it is unlikely to be in the near future. Castro continuously mentioned that in order for our country to be one of the world leaders of the 21st century we need to invest in young minds, he followed this up with these two points in achieving this.
During these times, the Latino community grew stronger and more diverse when different ethnic backgrounds migrated to the United States (predominantly New York City and Florida) such as Dominicans, Colombians, Cubans, and others who followed in those footsteps. The reader learns not only of the radical groups in the United States but the ones outside of it such as the groups in Cuba; Omega 7, Acción Cubana, and the Bloque Revolucionario. These groups were created to override the dictatorship that Castro implemented among the island. Throughout the 1970’s, the vast majority of the population in the United States was made u by the Latino community and soon their numbers made their votes principal towards the Anglo politicians. At the beginning of the Voting Rights Period, the United States saw that the Latino communities were no longer as involved in politics as it saw a decline of organizations. As time has repeated itself, the movements themselves reverted back to their primary goals which was political equality except this time around, it would be mixed together with both cultural pride and ethnic
Fidel Castro entered Havana, Cuba and took his place as Prime Minister in January of 1959, just after the fall of the Batista regime. Within days, many of the Cuban upper class began exiting the island, wary of losing their socioeconomic status and possibly their lives (Leonard 13). Castro’s radical new policies appealed to most of the suppressed lower class seeking change, but the middle sector “became disillusioned with their new leader” and soon comprised the majority of the Cuban refugees in Miami, Florida (Leonard 3). Beginning in December 1960 and ending with the Cuban Missile Crisis in October 1962, over 14,000 of those refugees wou...

Cesar Chavez uses morals and his audience fear of destruction to justify his stance on non-violent protests . Martin Luther King jr was an activist and civil rights leader that did not use violence to get his point across like many other activists at that time. Cesar Chavez wrote on the anniversary of his death explaining why using nonviolence is the way to advocate rights for those in need. His article was put in a religious organization that helped people who were in need of help. Cesar Chavez uses morals as a way to appeal to the religious side of his audience.

September 11, 2001, is a day that will go down in history and never be forgotten. On this day in time, Islamic terrorists attacked the World Trade Center in New York City, as well as The Pentagon building in Washington, D.C. The terrorists, who were affiliated with Al Qaeda, were led by the one and only, Osama Bin Laden. Nine days after this devastating attack on our country, President George W. Bush addressed Congress with an unplanned State of the Union address. Bush used great amounts of tragedy with a direct vital tone to deliver a very important message. Ultimately, this message would reach out to the American people as a whole, not only for remembrance of the people who lost their lives, but also as a plan of action for what would lie ahead.

There may be some question over Fidel Castro’s achievements in providing economic success, or democracy to Cuba in the last forty five years or so. However Cuba’s record on providing egalitarian health care and education to the masses have generally been agreed as a success story, even by Castro’s old enemy the United States. “To be educated is to be free,” (Marti in Marshall, 1987, p146) has become one of the more popular revolutionary slogans and has been greatly adhered to by Castro’s government. While health care is articulated in the 1975 Cuban constitution as being “the right of all and the responsibility of the state” (Feinsilver, 1993, p26). The social political stance of Castro’s government has been the driving force behind the success in health care and education. Issues such as housing, employment, health care and education are viewed as a basic human right and are in theory guaranteed by the state to all. In Cuba, health care indicators are also seen as a measure of the government’s efficiency and performance. Other socialist states that have come and gone over the last century have also professed to put these issues at the forefront of priority. States such as Russia and China have to a lesser or greater degree failed to provide the standard of services provided in Cuba. “Until 1969 China’s health care system served only the urban population, which represented about 15 percent of the total population” (Feinsilver, 1993, p2). There are certainly factors that make this comparison unfair but Cuba’s achievements in providing these social services are still quite remarkable given its economic position. By truly placing education and healthcare as one of the fundamental priorities of the revolution, and developing specific programs and initiatives to deal with these two social issues, Cuba managed to succeeded where others more wealthy nations failed. The use of popular participation and central government control also were powerful tools in implementing these social policies. It would now be useful to look at some of these initiatives that have been taken by the Cuban government that enabled it to equal if no surpass education and health standards in many developed countries.
It is in the solving of social problems in which Hispanics can be of tremendous service to the country. One of the greatest attributes of hispanics is the willingness to mix, and by doing so, have created cultural forms, new human relationships, and life styles.

Whenever Martin Luther King Junior, began to speak, he held everybody’s attention. This was the case in 1963 during the pinnacle of the Civil Rights Movement when Martin gave his career defining speech “I Have a Dream”. Over a quarter million people attended the protest, and the crowd varied in color as well as cause. A crowd of this size would certainly frighten most people; but Martin was not the type of man to be phased easily. Martin grew up on the racist streets of Atlanta, Georgia and faced much adversity in his life. Not even thirty-five Martin would give a speech that would shake an embroiled nation to its core. Martin Luther King Junior gave a speech to beautifully wove together the three appeals of ethos, logos, and pathos into one
Castro implemented additional significant social-economical polices which further more increased his popularity with in the public order, such as attempts towards improving health care, medical facilities, and tourism, but mostly highlighting the importance of education by drastically transforming the Cuban educational system. Achieving an extraordinary change required Castro to start the “1961 literacy campaign” which called for raising the literacy rate percentage in the Cuban society, by allowing education and it’s equipment free of charge, building schools, increasing the amount of teachers per student, and making it available to all ages who desired to peruse education. These reforms where a major increase in Castro’s popularity. “The quality of life lies in knowledge”- Fidel Castro (The Right Priorities: Health, Education, and Literacy. PBS.o...
Abraham Lincoln, known for his revolutionary campaign that was the first to state slavery was wrong. History portrays Abraham Lincoln as someone who wanted equal rights for all races that statement is not necessarily true. He wanted the slaves to be free but did not think that whites and blacks could live peacefully together. He changes the way he words things in his speeches in order to gain both sides of the disagreement in order to hold office. His views on slavery increases dramatically while the United States becomes closer to fighting in the civil war.
In September of 1962, John F. Kennedy delivered a speech at Rice University of Houston, Texas, to which he was appealing for the support of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration program. In order to do so, he uses his persuasive reasoning as well as a logical argument with sentimental reasoning in order to convince the crowd to offer their support to the program. "Only last week did we develop penicillin and television and nuclear power, and now if America’s new spacecraft succeeds in reaching Venus, we will have literally reached the stars before midnight tonight", stated in paragraph 2. As Kennedy speaks about the different and most recent advancements in man, he uses statistics and logical reasoning to persuade the audience to give their support towards the program. By Kennedy mentioning the last bit of information about being able to reach the stars before midnight tonight, he's attempting to hopefully open the eyes of the crowd so they see how close they are to being able to reach the stars, then causing them to feel more supportive.
Martin Luther King Jr is one of the wisest and bravest black man the world has ever seen. He has set the path way for the black community and other miniorities. In his Nobel Prize Speech the “Quest for Peace and Justice”, King had three major points that he addressed in the “Quest of Peace and Justice”. One of the points he made was about racial injustice and how we need to eliminate it. King stated that, “when civilization shifts its basic outlooks then we will have a freedom explosion”. Overtime things must change, nothing never stays the same. King’s way of making parallels with this is making the claim is saying, “Oppressed people can’t oppressed forever, and the yearning will eventually manifest itself”. He insisted that blacks have,
