Argentina is a country with a lot of diversity among its people and religion while having a large population that is united as one. There are four main religions that most Argentinians are followers of. Every religion celebrates many holidays throughout the year, but not everyone in Argentina celebrates the same holidays. Although most Argentinians don’t follow the same religion there are many things that bring the people of this nation together. The Roman Catholic Church has heavily influenced Argentina’s culture and history as it leads up to current times. Today about 92% of Argentina’s population is Roman Catholic. Over the past twenty years the church in Argentina has become less dominant while still having an important presence in
Latin America represents 1/10 of the world's population, and geographically can be located from the land extensions of Mexico, until the Patagonia at Argentina. Some of the most relevant elements of today's culture in Latin America are; Religion, Values, Attitudes, Social structure, Social stratification, Language and Gift-giving hospitality. The predominant religion throughout history in Latin America has been Catholicism. From big cities to small villages, churches, basilicas, and cathedrals are found.

Being Hispanic to me means being different, strong, hard-working, and colorful. I go to school in a little village called Baltimore, with a whopping population of just under 3,000 people. Living in such a small village has its ups and downs, for instance, you get to know everyone, but you also really get to know everyone. One of the downsides of living in this area is the lack of diversity. In my entire high school, there is a total of five Hispanic students including myself. Growing up I never saw myself as different to my classmates, we were all just in school to learn about education, life, and each other. It wasn’t until my middle school years when I found out that not everybody watched “El Chavo del Ocho” Saturday mornings or put Tajin
Hispanic students who were brought at an early age through immigrant parents wanting to provide a better, safer environment for their kid may usually end up stuck and excluded. There are programs like Hispanic Unity that help their Hispanic community by providing a place for daycare, volunteer programs to teach kids, teenager and adults about important subjects necessary to succeed in the U.S. The classes range from studying for the citizenship test, or learning English, to filing taxes. They also provide help for family in need of clothes, shelter, food, materials. I would like to similarity build a team that sets a goal to inform and support their fellow community members. Our cause would be to provide the basic necessities to student with
The Hispanic community accounts for the largest minority in the United States. The United States Census Bureau reported as of July 2006, the percentage of Hispanics in the nation had grown to 15. This percentage excludes the 3.9 million Puerto Ricans whom call America their home. This number puts the United States ranking third worldwide for largest Hispanic populations, with Mexico and Colombia holding the first and second ranking respectively (Pew Hispanic Center, 2009). The Hispanic community is diverse in itself, although non-Hispanics may have panethnic views of the group as simply Latino or Hispanic, this group is made up of Mexican Americans, Puerto
The misconception among American’s is that all Hispanics are alike. They have the same cultural backgrounds and speak the same language. This could not be further from the truth. In actuality there is great diversity among different Latin ethnic groups. Hispanic Americans, Puerto Ricans, Cubans, and Columbians all have different cultural and historic back grounds that identify them as separate ethnic groups.
Religion is cordially express with all origins of Hispanics groups. The vast majority of the Hispanic communities acknowledge religion in their every day activity. In the world, 90 percent of the Spanish-speaking world is Roman Catholic. When evaluating the Hispanic population in the United States it is, reveal that 70 percent of Hispanics are protestant (Census, 2002). It is relevant that church influences family life and community affairs, and gives spiritual meaning to Hispanic cultures. Family life is very strong among Hispanic groups.
At some point in time in your life you have heard the terms Latino or Hispanic. What was the first thing that came to your mind? There are many different types of Latinos and/or Hispanics in the United States today. In 2003, 37.4 million Latinos reside in the U.S., outnumbering 34.7 million African Americans (Ramirez and de la Cruz 2003 Racial and Ethnic Groups Chapter 9). Each of these types has similar cultures and customs, but is uniquely different. No one person can be so sure of which of these ethnicities one belongs to, unless you already know the person.
"As a Texan, I have known many immigrant's families, mainly from Mexico, and I've seen what they add to our country. They bring to America the values of faith in God, love of family, hard work, and self-reliance; the values that made us a great nation to begin with (Ortiz)". One of our great president, George W. Bush, said these enhancing words and it now concerns me in this day of time. That now the world wants to imprison the Hispanic culture all for varies stereotypes. With President Trump theory of the wall this will cause many more issues not only with Hispanic immigrates but within America itself. Without the construction of the wall, America wouldn’t be wasting money, it will keep generating diversity and wall wouldn’t go against our founding father's rules and regulations.
I am currently at a placement site, where there is not much diversity when it comes to race. Many of my students consider themselves white or non hispanic with the exception of seven students. Out of those seven, two identify as African American, three identify as hispanic and the other two identify with two or more races. Besides race, I have diversity amongst gender, socioeconomic status, learning styles, accommodations, and modifications. My classes are comprised of more females than males who come from a variety of socioeconomic backgrounds. Some of the students come from well off families with occupations such as pastors, educators, military personnel, business owners, and doctors while others come from farmers, grocery store workers, restaurant employees and construction workers. Though there is nothing wrong with the occupations of the parents, it is obvious that there is a difference between the
Globalization in Argentina has affected the country in numerous ways. There are many positives and negatives. Until 1999 globalization seemed to be the reason the country was so prosperous. Pope John Paul II stated, “From the ethical point of view, can be positive or negative. In fact, there is an economic globalization which brings some positive consequences, as the phenomenon of efficiency and increased production and, with the development of relations between countries in economic, can strengthen the process of unity among peoples and make a better service to the human family. However, if globalization is ruled merely by the laws of the market applied to suit the powerful, leads to negative consequences. Such, for example, the
Argentinian culture is a mixture of many other cultures and it has been largely influenced by Spanish colonialism and immigrants from all around the world and mostly from Europe. Buenos Aires is the capital city of Argentina. The city is also known as the cultural capital and it represents political, economic and cultural heart of the country. Argentinian culture is spreaded in lots of areas from dance to language and it has very unique sides which makes the culture extremely interesting.
Thus Restorative Justice (RJ) may have a bigger role in changing offenders’ behaviour. RJ involves bringing together all parties affected by a specific offence and forming a collective decision on how to deal with the aftermath of the offence and its implications for the future (Marshall, 1996). During a RJ conference offenders meet their victims in a controlled environment, facilitated by a trained facilitator, to discuss and resolve the offense and its consequences (Strang et al, 2013). The facilitator is responsible for supporting and preparing participants (Restorative Justice Council, 2015) and also helps to guide them in dialogue to ensure that each participant has a voice in the proceedings (MOJ, 2013b). In cases where a face to
What does it mean to be an American? We are all different in this world, diversity includes everyone. Diversity refers to all of the ways in which people are different. The diversity of the United States society is increasing dramatically, due to high rates of immigration. America is built of people coming together from different races, nationalities, religions and sexes. This includes individual, group, and traditional differences. Diversity is a major role on impacting the the United States character, history, and tradition. Diversity made america what it is today. Can our society deal successfully with these changes?
“Even if we didn 't have greenhouse gases, were going to have to move away from fossil fuels, as we 're going to run out. They 're finite, where as solar and wind are infinite.” - Ted Turner. Solar panels use the energy that comes from sunlight to give power. Low-temperature collectors are flat plates generally used to heat pools. Medium-temperature collectors are also usually flat plates but are used for heating water or air for residential and commercial use. High-temperature collectors concentrate sunlight using mirrors and lenses. and are generally used for fulfilling heat requirements up to 300 deg C / 20 bar pressure in industries, and for electric power production. Installation of solar panels costs 15000 to 40000 on average. Solar
