When I saw this assignment my aunt immediately came to mind because I know she is currently trapped in vicious circles. For this paper I will say her name is Felicia. My Aunt Felicia has a combination of many vicious circles such as poverty, racial and cultural alienation, and senselessness. It makes sense that she has a mixture of all of these because they all seem to correspond in some way. Anyways, my Aunt Felicia never really tried in school because no one made her and she did not have the drive to try at all, so now she has undeveloped skills. Her reading, writing, and arithmetic skills could stand to be greatly improved. Although, she graduated high school she did not have the skills to go to college. Now she is greatly under employed …show more content…
Aunt Felicia has not searched for a better job or even a part-time job she is content with barely making it in this life. I can tell she is not as happy as she makes herself out to be because she turns to food to bring her peace and security. She has an abundance of food because she receives food stamps and she only likes junk food. Aunt Felicia faces many health problems because of unhealthy diet along with little to no physical activity throughout the day. Many people have tried helping her but it is of no use because she isn’t not ready to help herself. I do dearly love her, so I try to help her in any way I can but it becomes exasperating. I try to encourage because I know if she gained self-respect and went back to school to develop some skills her life would truly start to turn around. If she graduated from a trade school of some sort she would be able to compete in the job market. Once she is able to compete in the job market and starts seeing growth I believe she will have the will to live. Her confidence will lead to find a higher paying job with benefits so she can get off the government dole and truly be

A few short days after the 20th anniversary of her death, it has been revealed that popular recording artist Selana Quintanilla-Perez’s (known to most solely by her first name) estate is suing UMG Recordings, Selena’s record label, for digital royalties that have yet to be paid out. Over the course of her career and after her death, Selena and her label have released five studio albums, three live albums, and more than twenty compilation albums to honor her memory. The estate claims that in 1993 Selena and her family entered an agreement that promised to share 50 percent of the label’s profit from the licensing or sale of her music to online streaming services with her family. Although they were under the impression that they were being fairly paid by UMG Recordings, the estate claims to have found a receipt from 2009 that reveals they were “grossly underpaid.” Although news is just leaking out in regards to the lawsuit, it went into motion on March 31, exactly twenty years from the day that Selena was murdered.

Now, how does the Latino culture play a part of a Latina’s self-esteem? There is this concept, Marianismo, that affects a girl's self-esteem in a good and bad way. Marianismo is the female equivalent of machismo; it is considered to be the realization of the feminine, and characterized by hyper feminine behavior. This could seem bad because it’s basically women accepting their roles, such as, housewives, in the Mexican culture.

I want to start out by saying that Janet Fazio is my current favorite person. I’ll explain. But first a little background for any new readers: I’m a new mom and triathlete (still breastfeeding) of an 11-month-old daughter (who does not yet sleep through the night) who works full-time (pumps at least two times a day), commutes three days a week, and owns a high-energy Vizsla dog that needs 5 to 10 miles of exercise per day. All this = very busy, little down time and too much coffee. So having my husband out of town for work hasn’t been easy (I have a newfound respect for single parents).
I first discovered Celia Cruz by watching a show about her life on Netflix titled Celia. Ever since I watched the first episode I have been fascinated with her story and wanted to learn more about her. Today i'm going to share with you all that I have learned about her, such as her early life, career, personal life, death and legacy.

Elizabeth loved her parents dearly and showed great compassion and care for them all throughout her life. Her parents on the other hand, may have loved her, but they were not fully capable of taking care of her and her sister the way they needed to be taken care of. Instead, Liz was left tending to and watching over her own parents, especially her mother. As a child this was acceptable for Liz because she always wanted to be involved in her parents life and had a great need to be needed by them. However, the lifestyle she was brought up in due to her parents’ condition hindered Liz from receiving all possible opportunities when it came to her education. Liz’ parents were rarely in their right mind to consistently reinforce the importance of school or necessitate attendance and performance. They were incapable of being role model parents or anything close and as a result the usefulness of school was not strongly present to Liz. Furthermore, whenever Liz did attend school it was majority filled with bad experiences. Any money that came in contact with her parents were spent on cocaine instead of food, plumbing, clothes or anything else essential. Liz was bullied for being unkempt, smelly and overall… Living in poverty with
