All, Here is your Friday's history lecture. The same thing was said about the "Marielitos" and today we see how well they and their descendants have integrated themselves into our society. If you do not know what "Marielitos" means then check out Scarface Movie or do your research. I will recommend for you to do your research vice letting Hollywood to teach you about "Marielitos". After you do your research, you will learn how these "Marielitos" or I should say Cubans were called by many politicians and the media murderers, rapists, thieves, prostitutes, violent criminals, communists, psychopaths, etc... and that later they were portrayed by Hollywood as drug dealers scaring the American people to death. After all, these "Marielitos" were not as bad as the politicians …show more content…
By the way, did not we see the same thing after WWII when we received millions of refugees coming from Europe seeking for asylum in the US and after the Vietnam War when many Vietnamese escaped their country running away from the Vietcom? Again, these refugees turned out "ok". Didn't they? Only a few bad apples joined the mob. Which by the way Hollywood benefited from them since Hollywood produced great movies such as "The Godfather", "Once Upon a Time in America", "Goodfellas", "A Bronx Tale", "Casino", "Gotti", etc... Let's be real! We all benefit from situations like this. Illegal immigrants, refugees, criminals whatever at the end we all benefit from each other. In my opinion nothing has changed, they all want to come to a great nation like our looking for freedom, equality, and an new opportunity in life. The sad part is that when they come here they soon realize that they are not as equal as they thought they would be. I am not totally concerned with these 20,000 people being released to the public. Australia had it worse than us and those criminals sent there from Great Britain's prisons and later released to society they

1. This informative speech on “The Cause of Homelessness “is very Inform able and worth listening to, because in today’s economy it could be you or me. Some seem to think homelessness is choice. I find this speech relevant to the world I live in today, due to the high unemployment rate, declining job market, and the economic hardships that families are enduring. This topic is not a broad one, but yet can be spoke of in depth due to the fact I see many homeless people but never thought it would be me until I seen a family friend who has lost everything, this is what made me more aware that it is not just a choice and any day it could be me. So when you see
Walt Disney once said, “It’s kind of fun to do the impossible,” and I guess he was right. Disney made films that made a wooden puppet into a real boy, a thief into a handsome, and a beast into a man. Disney created dreams for little kids of becoming royalty, but was that all they had in mind? Although Disney films may seem full of happy thoughts with true love’s kiss, but in reality they are just bibidi bodibi booed with a dash of pixie dust to hide the real truth behind the films.
Relevance Statement: According to the CDC, 62% of women of reproductive age are currently using a contraceptive. This number has drastically risen over the years as a result of advanced medicine and availability to all women. This would not have been possible without the work and dedication of Margaret Sanger.

A hero to us is someone who influences the general public in a positive way even though they aren’t physically there. We consider Beyonce as our hero because she leaves a great impact on the music industry and teaches women and girls to not be ashamed of themselves.She also gives an image of self love and respect by not being ashamed of her body. Beyonce is the type of person that actually admits that she isn’t perfect and by doing this it gives something other people can relate with . This makes her of a more realistic hero to them. Beyonce is also a supporter of the LGBT community which tells people that she doesn’t judge.Not only that, through her music her she teaches young girls and women to be powerful and to know that they are are just
The assimilation of Cuban Americans has come rather slowly due to the discrimination that this group has faced. Like most other immigrating groups, Cubans have seen themselves rejected and discriminated by the dominant group, making them embrace their own culture and straying away from the dominant expectations for several years. In order to maintain their culture, and as an effort to reject discrimination, Cuban Americans have opened various organizations and enclaves that help promote their heritage. The stratification between Cubans and white Americans is quite high in places like Florida. In fact, affluent Anglos are usually placed in elite private schools that are populated by little to none Latinos. Due to the fact that many Cuban Americans consider themselves to be exiles, their assimilation has come rather slowly. According to Gordon’s assimilation theory, cultural and identification assimilation have come at a slow pace. To elaborate, Cuban American immigrants have faced much discrimination and stereotyping that has led them to stay away from assimilating to the dominant culture. In fact, their cultural patterns have been kept sturdy by promoting their heritage in organizations, clubs and enclaves. With new U.S. born generations, there can be a sense of cultural assimilation, but for the most part, Cuban Americans have not completely assimilated culturally. In the same sense, identification assimilation has not come hastily. As mentioned, Cuban
They have the leading college completion rate of all the Latino groups in the U.S. The majority of them came during the anti-Castro movement as refugees to the United States. They were generally well educated, had managerial or professional backgrounds, and therefore met with greater economical success than later immigrants (Racial and Ethnic Groups Chapter 9). Fidel Castro has ruled over Cuba for the past 48 years, and there are still people coming to the United States (Miami, Florida) to get their citizenship and running from his reign. As recent as today, some immigrants from Cuba are not accepted well, unless they are outspoken critics of Fidel Castro (Racial and Ethnic Groups Chapter 9). The younger generation is more worried about how the Miami Dolphins are doing than what is going on in Havana these days (Racial and Ethnic Groups Chapter 9).

Mercedes Sosa was one of the greatest voice of Argentine folk and Latin American popular music. She had a deep, warm and melancholic voice. She was also the symbol of the revival of a socially engaged folk music movement. Musically, Mercedes Sosa was a provocative artist, challenging the upholders of orthodoxy, by mixing folk with rock, or by recording songs with opera singers. Her work earned her many awards and distinctions, such as in 1992 when she was declared an honorary citizen of Buenos Aires, Argentina. She was “the voice of freedom” for the mestizos, the peasants, the workers, the intellectuals and the activists who were silenced by the military dictatorship (1976-1983). Her mystical deep contralto voice has contributed to popularize
After Germany i’m heading to France, where i’m going to the capital, Paris, to enjoy the feeling of love in the air. In Paris i’m hoping to see the Eiffel tower, the Arc de Triomphe, Notre Dame de Paris, and the Sainte Chapelle. Some interesting facts about this place are Paris was once a Roman City called “Lutetia.” To get to the top of the Eiffel tower you would have to climb 1,665 steps, unless you take the elevator, woh! Also, there are at least three replicas of the Statue of Liberty in Paris, weird! Finally, there are 6,100 streets in Paris, wow!
