Case Study Of Hispanic Growth Strategies

As a result of his election, Mayor Gurrola has worked to unite my community and encourage youth participation in the process. Following his example, Arvin’s city council has seen the addition of three young Latinas who also ran for city government positions with the vision to improve our community. With their leadership, the mayor and city council members of Arvin have provided residents with a platform to voice their opinions and increase civic participation. Overall, these leaders have used their political role for the public good by taking the initiative to improve the living conditions of Latino residents in the community of Arvin.

According to the United States Census Bureau (2016), the Hispanic population of the United States is the largest ethnic or racial minority in the United States, with a population of over 56 million. By the year 2050, it is projected that one out of every four Americans will be of Hispanic descent (Caraballo, McLaughlin, & McLaughlin, 2014). “Hispanics in the United States includes any person of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin, regardless of race” (Centers for Disease Control, n.d, p. 1). As a non-Hispanic leader, working in a Hispanic work environment, understanding the culture will help you be more effective as you interact with Hispanic teammates.

Ernesto Quinonez 's novel is very influential and gives insight into the harsh reality of being a minority in America. Quinonez also speaks on the history of the Latino culture and the life experiences. The fabricated stories based on true events, affected Latinos as well as other nationalities. This book has served its purpose and is speaking to families, friends, wives, husbands, and children on being aware and conscious of the reality that surrounds them. This novel amazed me with the political and historical content surrounding the Latino community, and it is extremely powerful as it shows independence in its own culture. The novel uses its content to bring awareness of Latino ethnic identity, their way of life, and defines social factors from within. (Barajas 2014)

Rodriguez let’s his audience know he has been called a traitor to closed minded individuals because he does not identify as an American or Hispanic. He stated that he identifies as Chinese.

The Hispanic League is a cultural, educational and community-driven non-profit organization. Its mission is to improve the quality of life for the Hispanic/Latinos through promoting community inclusion, education, health and multicultural understanding. On April 29th, I had the privilege to interview the organization's executive director, Mari Jo Turner. Mari Jo Turner has been part of the Hispanic League for about five years now. Before joining the HL, in 1990, Mrs. Turner was a member of another non-profit organization called, Association for the Benefit of Child Development (ABCD). This organization's main concern targeted the Latino families as well, they found several almost to be mothers did not have prenatal care for their babies due

The declaration of Hispanic dominance is a commonly mentioned turning point among those companies targeting, or realizing they need to target, this diverse market. However, reaching the US Hispanic market is more challenging than is often assumed. Not only are Hispanics the largest single ethnic group in the US, they're not even a single racial group. People of Hispanic background come from different nations, live in different regions, and enjoy different cultures; even the language, which is often thought to connect all Hispanics, has many different dialects that divide it. This is a common problem that

If Rodriguez had not received this kind of assistance he could have become confused. When this happens, he will have trouble understanding the world around him and adapting to the new culture.

The Hispanic population is increasing at rapid rates, thus providing many opportunities to improve the economy and local hispanic communities. However, with the sufficient low rate of hispanic graduates from college our economy are being damaged and hispanic communities are being denied the proper evolution to get out of poverty. Our hispanic youth need to start taking more action into getting a higher education, to help our economy and communities evolve and better themselves. Being a young hispanic, I’ve seen both sides of the rich and poor. Those who mainly live in poverty are those whom don’t have a high education with them. This matters to me because I 've heard and witnessed of all sorrow and suffering poverty brings. Also, it hurts to see we have got such a powerful way of making actual change but we get held back because people think education is too hard, expensive, and a waste of time. If more of our hispanic youth had a higher graduation rate from college then our economy and local hispanic communities would be improved.

To me a community is a group of individuals that come together to help and protect each other. For me the Hispanic community is where I belong. A family is a stronger more familiar version of a community because it’s filled with people who you’ve known for the longest and you can really trust them. An identity that’s the way you see yourself or the way you think, act, and even your name are a part of what makes up your identity and for me that’s Ivan. I fit into the Hispanic community by taking part in traditional Hispanic celebrations,music,cooking,and speaking Spanish.

The United States is home to over 53 million Hispanic citizens who comprise nearly 17 percent of the entire population. Despite this, Hispanic public administrators only hold 34 out of 435 Congressional seats and 4 out of 100 Senate seats. However, Hispanic leaders are making inroads into the United States political system and paving the way to represent their peers on local and national levels. In conjunction with public supporters and community groups, these professionals are inspiring the next generation of Hispanic leaders and making significant progress on administrative and political fronts.

Hispanics in the United States have a history rooted for centuries. Many different cultures make up this group dubbed ‘Hispanics’, each with their own identity, culture, and struggles. However, they do group together in a common fight to gain a more stable and positive foot hold in the U.S.

The Hispanics/Latinos/Chicanos are one of the fastest-growing populations in the country, so it has been documented on numerous research that these communities of color, Some of the major implemented plans includes: adding bilingual/ bicultural pedagogy, which addressed one of the issues raised under the Mendez v.

In response to Sabrina Geneus I am in agreement with her comments regarding one subpopulation in the U.S which has currently has access to primary care are Hispanics. She also made interesting points regarding them which are true that Hispanics do not receive health care services of high quality because of their low socioeconomic status which includes low income, assets accumulation, low wage occupations and occupational characteristic. In addition, they also endure education attainment which is an obstacle to receive health care in a timely manner. Individuals who are face with low education may ruin their ability to understand clearly the health care delivery system, such as communicate with health care providers, and understand provider’s

United States Senator for Florida, Marco Rubio once stated, “The Hispanic community understands the American Dream and have not forgotten what they were promised – that in the U.S., a free market system allows us all to succeed economically, achieve stability and security for your family and leave your children better off than yourselves.” Every year Hispanics search the regions of Texas in search of this very opportunity to better themselves and especially their youth. One such region is the poverty stricken region that is the Rio Grande Valley. It is a region that has begun to accept its current role as nothing more than a region of widespread poverty and undervalued skill, but there is one man who will not sit idly by and watch as this region and the Hispanics who inhabit it are characterized by benighted stereotypes and filled with cruel insults. There is one man who will work diligently to better the region. That man is Eric Garza. Garza believes, “Future opportunity exists for Hispanics to excel and advance themselves and their families” (Garza). He sees that a disheartened culture has suddenly sprung up and is on the cusp of something greater than what people believe they can achieve. Eric Garza, a prominent figure in the RGV and State of Texas, has been working to better the welfare of Hispanics since he was a teenager, through his work with The Libre Initiative and his various involvements in local and statewide communities.

I am a daughter of Mexican immigrants and was raised in California’s rural and underserved Central Valley. As a child, I was exposed to the daily challenges immigrant communities face in California exemplified by the experiences of my own family. Residents of Arvin, CA, my hometown, are primarily Latino immigrants, low-income, employed in agricultural labor, and lack access to educational opportunities. In my community, access to fair housing, healthcare, employment, and living wages are limited and social service resources are scarce. When I moved to Berkeley, CA to pursue my bachelor’s degree, I was motivated to serve Latino communities in the Bay Area facing similar social and political obstacles as my hometown as I recognized the need for social and policy improvements.
