Advantages And Disadvantages Of Puerto Rico

Are there differences between living in Puerto Rico and living in the United States? I believe that there are big differences. I came to the United States when I was five years old. I then moved to Philadelphia for one year, lived in Georgia for six years, and now I am currently living in Maryland. I always go back to Puerto Rico to visit my family. I love it there. I like living in the United States but there are many things that differ such as the location itself, people and the schools.

I like living in the United States but there are many things that differ from Puerto Rico such as food, education and weather.

Instruments used to measure interview responses included a pre-existent Likert-scale interview comprised of 12 items called the Bidimensional Acculturation Scale for Hispanics (BAS) and

Growing up moving between New Jersey and Puerto Rico has exposed me to diverse beliefs, languages, and history. When I was young my parents separated and as a result my mother relocated us to New Jersey. Thus, I learned English and interacted with many people from various backgrounds. In New Jersey, I was a girl scout for several years, and my experience in girl scouts has taught me valuable teamwork and leadership skills. Constantly switching between two places has made me a very open minded and curious person. It’s also given me an opportunity to develop my social and communication skills.

The United States of America is a country with an extremely complexed past. One cannot successful explore the past of this county without exploring its relationship with Latin America. I will be exploring how the idea of empire building by the U.S. created the need for migration, the implications of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo for Chicano in the Southwest, and the relationship between the United States and Puerto Rico.

Women of Hispanic origin have higher fertility rates than those Non-Hispanic White and Non-Hispanic Black women. As an example, in 2001 Hispanics had 96.0 births per 1,000 women ages 15 to 44, compared with 57.7 births for

Coming from a diverse background, of Mexican and Central American culture, I can contribute my traditional Latin culture, and perspective of gender equality to the NC State community. I can contribute experiences varying from the tedious preparation of traditional cuisines, such as pupusas and enchiladas, to the different dialects of Spanish I've been exposed to throughout my life. The traditional gender roles within the Hispanic culture, is another aspect that I can inform the community about. The men in the family are seen as superior beings and the provider of money for the family. The women are depicted, as caretakers of the home and family, are more sheltered, and submissive to "male superiority."

The second question I asked was what the participant’s gender was. This question just gave me a better idea of the kind of audience that was taking my survey. I expected more women to take the time to fill it out. I was correct, 77% of those that took the survey were female, the other 23% being male.

The Class of 2019 page has over 9,000 members and since it requires a knights mail account it guarantees these participants are students. The Greek life groups also are all students which gave me even more results that I needed. I received 99 responses but 2 responses were from outside my target demographic so I used the tool Survey Monkey offers to delete their responses. I had ten questions that I asked. I asked their age so that I could decide if they were the right demographic for my study. I asked what video streaming websites they belonged to or used. I also asked the hours a day they spend on television and the hours they spend with friends, as well as if they watched television alone or with a friend. I asked if they watched similar television shows to their friends, as well as if they would prefer to go out with a friend or to watch Netflix. Finally I asked what device they use to watch Netflix along with how many episodes in a row they usually watch. I wanted easy quick questions so that I didn’t take up too much of my respondent’s time. I included an “Other” option because some of the questions I knew could have answers I was unaware of. The information I gathered in the survey was to see what college student’s television streaming habits were like so that I could analyze them.

White sandy sun kissed beaches, ice cold piña coladas with little umbrellas poking out the top, mingling with locals, waves crashing, and the sound of Bomba through the rows of palm trees surrounding the shorelines. This is the image that most people have of Puerto Rico and they would be right, for the most part, about this beautiful island. However, Puerto Rico which translate to “rich port” is far from the name it inhabits. The commonwealth has a $72 billion dollar debt which is causing the residents to live in poverty and the United States government is partially to blame. In addition, even through Puerto Rico has it 's own government the United States Congress has the final ruling. This is making it difficult for Puerto Rico to resolve this issue. The island and its residents that call it home are treated unfairly and the only resolution to help aid in their struggling economy and politics is to grant Puerto Rico statehood, making the island the 51st state of America.

There are both pros and cons to allowing Puerto Rico to become a state. Firstly, I will weigh the pros. As a country Puerto Rico has a high population, this can contribute positively to the United States in many ways. As a state, Puerto Rico would bring badly-needed money to the American economy. As of right now, American debt to other countries is a big issue, one that is being heavily discussed in our presidential race, right now.

One of the limitations of this study was that it only explored two nationalities, and as Umaña-Taylor and Yazedjian indicate, “do not represent the vast diversity” in regards to ethnic heritage (2006). Another limitation cited was how the study gathered its participants; the study did not include any Latino mothers who were not involved in their community. The missing data of these inaccessible contributors could have provided a wider sample, although the challenge understandably would be how to correctly involve these peoples. Umaña-Taylor and Yazedjian mention the expansion of this study could include the experiences of how other ethnically diverse multi-generational families handle the problem of integrating traditional culture with newer generations

Although Sen. Bernie Sanders is overwhelmingly busy with his campaign for the Democratic nomination, it looks like he still has some time to care about the mess Puerto Rico is in. He had previously commented on the success that the PROMESA bill can bring and showed that he has his own ideas for Puerto Rico, as well. He came up with his own plan for Puerto Rico’s future, and is expected to be introducing his PUERTO RICO HUMANITARIAN RELIEF ACT shortly.

Puerto Rico spent most of its history under the control of Spain. In the year 1898, the islanders wanted their freedom and welcomed the U.S. invaders as their last hope of liberation from Spanish control. The United States brought the promise of democracy to Puerto Rico, but its true intentions did not include letting go of the island. Although the United States claimed that its intentions were to civilize Puerto Rico and help it become a democratic society, its hypocritical manner of dealing with the island had a great impact on Puerto Rican development. The early years of U.S. colonization affected many aspects of Puerto Rico, including economics, politics, and social relations.

The once beautiful island of Puerto Rico was terribly ravaged by hurricanes Irma and Maria. The Island’s capital of San Juan, along with cities to the northeast, didn’t even get a chance to fully recover from hurricane Irma’s graze when the entire island was hit full-force, by Maria as a category 5 hurricane only two weeks after.
