The Latino Organization I went visit is CLILA. I heard the class mention this organization but had no idea what it provided for Latinos in my own community. I was really interested to learn about this more because I am Latina and I have family member that this could benefit. CLILA stands for Coalicion de lideres Latinos. The lady told me that CLILA started in Dalton in May 2006. She informed me that CLILA helps voice for Latinos in the local community. This organization helps improve the quality of life for Latinos in the community. The organization helps Latino leadership development and offers services to equal opportunities in the community. This organization might help Latinos who might help come up with some challenges in their life's …show more content…
and they help find ways to over come theses challenges. I found this organization very inspiring. It was has been here since 2006 and I didn't even know about it. It makes me wonder how many other Hispanics don't know about this great organization who might need it. The services they offer are Latino Community Leadership Institute, Weekly citizenship classes, Weekly English classes, and Voter registration and education. They offer a lot more service that Latinos can get very informative information. Going to CLILA was a great experience and also help. My dad is recently going to get his citizenship and he has been studying for the US history test that he has to take. My whole family ask him random questions to help prepare him and he studies all the time. I can tell that he is worried about it and I hate that he even has to worry about this is the first place. I don't even know most of the answer to that test. I found out about that Weekly citizenship classes for to prepare for the citizenship class on the US government and History education. My father is now attend that class when he doesn't have to work. I am really glad I went to CLILA and was able to help my dad find a great resource to help him! There are many Latino store in Dalton. I chose to go paleteria la Michoacana. I know I am Hispanic but I chose to go here because I have never been here before. I am Hispanic but my mother is American so mix children don't always get the full Mexican experience. I went into that store and they had different types of ice-cream. The had the palates that you see men push around to sale at the soccer games but they also sold hand made ice cream. One this I noticed is that they have a icee that had what look like hot sauce in it! I was shocked to see that so I tried it. They said it was called mangoada . It was icee mango flavor with chamoy on it. That is the product that I chose at theses store that is different and you would not find in other American store. I bought one and it was quite tasty. It was a different kind of texture and taste but it was good. For the recreational activity Latinos do in our community I chose to go to indoor soccer facility called San Jose.All different types of Latinos go there to have fun.
A lot of Latinos love soccer. I spoke to a workers there her name was Angelica Ramirez. She was the second generation Latina. Her father was an immigrant from Mexico. I asked her how it felt to be a second generation Latina. She said she has been in America her whole life. She knows her parents struggled but that why they came over here to make their lives better. She said he father open up the San Jose outdoor league and that just bloomed for him. They had so many people join to play in the league. They have had the San Jose since she can remember. At least 15 years now. Not to long ago her dad open up the indoor facility and it's done well too. Ramirez said she is proud to be Latina but with social media talking down on Hispanics it can get hard to hear. Just because she knows her father and family worked hard to get where they are. The facility is affordable for Latinos to do. It just $2 dollars to enter the indoor place and if you want to join a team it is $20 dollars but that lasts all season. They also sell food for the fans to enjoy while they watch the family member place. In one of the booths they sale socks, jerseys, and soccer shoes that people can buy. Behind another booth they sale drinks, Mexican bread & coffee. They also sold candy and my favorite corn in the cup! They had a good variety of
things for people to snack on while they watched the game. This is really great recreational thing Hispanics do in this community. It's affordable and something the family can do together. She said that all sort of Latinos come into this facility from Mexican, Guatemalan, Cuban, Puerto Rican, etc. She said they also have some Americans come to play. Just a few though not many. I also asked Mrs. Ramirez has her father told her any stories about his journey to America. She said that he told her it was a struggle to get over her but he wanted to better the lives of his family. She said she is proud of her father and glad he came to America for a better life. Listening to her was great to! I felt that we had a lot in common because I as well am a second generation Latina and a lot of the way she felt and talked is how I feel with my father. I just think it is amazing how they travel to make a better life for there family and it makes me even more happy when that better life is actually happening for them.
People are discriminated against because of their race and social position every day. This has been going on for hundreds of years. In Mexican White Boy, Danny and Uno were discriminated against by people around them for being different, but along the way of discovering themselves, they form an unbreakable friendship.
Latino grassroots politics in the academic realm has been considered as predominantly Chicano in nature. However, the geometry of this academic sector is no longer one dimensional, due to the formation of a Chicana feminist consciousness; the rise of an identified gay community within the Chicana/o student populace; and the emergence of “Latinos” in era of Chicanismo, The abrupt growth of Latinos (e.g. Spanish speaking of Mexican, Central or Latin American decent) in the United State’s educational system led the general population to characterize them as subjects on the cusps of political power and influence. But this widespread depiction of Latinos as an untapped potential is intrinsically linked to an impression of civic cohesion within the Latino student population. Although there is a correspondence between these parties in terms of the alienation they have felt and the discrimination they have endured throughout their academic careers, there is a minimal collective effort in confronting against their oppressive status. This is mainly a result of conflicting ideologies and social agendas within the Latino student community, as well as the relegation of Hispanic subgroups into the lower echelons. Latino students, nevertheless, have demonstrated their capacity, when both Chicanos and the marginalized Hispanic subgroups join efforts to reach a communal objective. This debunks the historical notion that Chicano students are the only group of Hispanics in the academic sphere that have been actively challenging the processes of social exclusion, and also displays the capacity of a collaborative effort.
When someone say’s “hispanic,” what definition comes to mind? Hispanics are not one nationality, nor one culture. Instead, Hispanics are greatly diverse people. Our language and cultural origins are Spanish and Latin American, regardless of race and color. Hispanics can be European, Indian, or of African descent, or any combination of the three. The culture could be linked to Mexico, the Caribbean countries, Central America, South America and Spain. Hispanics were once considered a rarity in the United States, now we are found throughout the country.
The increase and changing demography in the United State today, with the disparities in the health status of people from different cultural backgrounds has been a challenge for health care professionals to consider cultural diversity as a priority. It is impossible for nurses and other healthcare professionals to learn and understand theses diversity in culture, but using other approaches like an interpreter is very helpful for both nurses and patients. In this paper of a culturally appropriate care planning, I will be discussing on the Hispanic American culture because, I had come across a lot of them in my career as a nurse. The Hispanic are very diverse in terms of communication and communities and include countries like Mexico, Cuba, Puerto Rico, South and Central America, and some of them speak and write English very well, some speaks but can’t write while some can’t communicate in English at all but Spanish.
When we have dreams we do everything possible to achieve them. We are sometimes faced with barriers that prevent, or make it harder for us to accomplish our goals. Latinos in the United States work hard to give their families a better life. Latinos all have faced many challenging circumstances in order to accomplish their dreams. Latinos look up to other Latinos and when they see other Latinos that have succeeded then they feel that they too can succeed in whatever they put their mind to. George Lopez is a Mexican American comedian and actor. He serves as a great role model for every Latino. He went through a lot of tough situations that made his life hard. George Lopez has not only served as a great example of a Latino accomplishing his goals through hard circumstances, but he has never forgotten where he comes from, he has always given back to the community and has also represented the Latino community in the United States in a positive way.
The Latino community is considered the largest demographic minority in the United States and is expect to increase by approximately 15% in 2050 (U.S. Bureau of the Census, 2002). The Latino population is comprised of many subgroups from many different regions that have developed unique beliefs, norms, and sociopolitical experiences. Although the term Latino is used throughout this paper, it is important to underscore the great diversity found within the Latino community to avoid the development and perpetuation of stereotypes. In clinical practice, it is important to evaluate the individual in terms of their racial identity, acculturation, and socioeconomic status among other factors to create a more individualized and effective treatment
Again we would see the celebration of Dia De Los Muertos. In the 1970s, Self Help helped encourage the art that participated. It helped bring to community together and create large ensemble of art, parades, and festivals revolving around in the Chicano community.
Latinos have struggled to discover their place inside of a white America for too many years. Past stereotypes and across racism they have fought to belong. Still America is unwilling to open her arms to them. Instead she demands assimilation. With her pot full of stew she asks, "What flavor will you add to this brew?" Some question, some rebel, and others climb in. I argue that it is not the Latino who willingly agreed to partake in this stew. It is America who forced her ideals upon them through mass media and stale history. However her effort has failed, for they have refused to melt.
The mission of the organization is to empower the Mexican and Latino community. We have ESL, classes, citizenship classes, computer skills classes, these are educational opportunities where people can come from any nationality come in and learn the skills. We also have a legal support area
I believe education is the basic principal to achieving success. This success is achieved through several principles and values that are introduced by Latinx guardians. Education can be defined, in my own words, as the life-lasting process of receiving or teaching lessons from other individuals. These individuals, as stated, being friends, counselors, and most of the time teachers. Education can also be identified as a mandatory requirement by the Board of Education. Although it is a requirement for students in the United States (for K-12), for many Latinx students, education is seen as an opportunity for success.
I can say Hispanic, Latinos and Chicanos communities have incorporated a variations of ideas that had help our society and our education. Some of the ideas that help our society are the ways in how we change the education system throughout this years. Referring to the new ways of improvements on school programs, new education techniques, by creating different ways of teaching , adapting new forms of “English as a second language” (ESOL) classes and creating new Chicano Studies program on different schools. They could help us to identify and develop new languages, to find and know our ethnicity, and to be open-minded in our society, referring to the variation of culture and ethnicities. The new generations of immigrants students are the future
In today’s society parents are looking for explanations to understand their child’s actions and lack of obedience. Some studies focus on the child’s perspective while others focus on the parent’s perspective. In reality both attributions should be considered together. It is commonly believed that negative mother attributions produce an oppositional child. Another study says parents that blame the child for their misbehavior and choose a harsh discipline may cause the child to act out. Oppositely some children will hear what their parents say about them and start to place blame on themselves for their actions. Realizing that the parent child relationship is difficult to comprehend from all sides was the reason for the study done by Colalillo,
Multiculturalism is a difficult field of study that can be closely observed in areas all around us. Culture is the traditional practice of customs and activities to a specific nation, people, or group. Looking at (1) assimilation/acculturation, (2) Issue surrounding the “Other,” and (3) Social structure, can help us understand how the “Problem of different” cultures coexist and collide in the polish communities of Chicago and the rest of the world.
The reason why this idea peaks my interest is because people who are undocumented, that work and pay taxes can’t vote because they're “illegal” or undocumented. The majority of the people who cross the border illegally are Mexican. But most come here to restart their life, try again in a ,more free state. Some are successful, some aren’t, the ones who aren’t end up getting sent back across, failing at achieving their new life. The ones who are successful make a new life, start working, and pay taxes. But after doing all this, even paying their fair share to the government, they still can’t vote because they’re still undocumented. Thousands illegal Mexican immigrants cross the border to make a new life. Some are successful some aren’t. The ones who are successful make a new life, get a job and pay taxes. The thing is they pay their fair share of funds to the government, but these people can’t vote.
Though, the concept of community service is not very new, its importance has developed in the past few years. There are thousands of organizations all over the world that engage and support millions of young people all over the world. People of all age groups, with a maximum number of youth involved in the process of community service. Community-based organizations include social service organizations, non-profit providers and associations that engage both young people as well as adults as volunteers. The process is beneficial both for the individuals as well as the society.
