Observation And Analysis Of A Hispanic Infant

The infants physical development starts with the head and then moves to other parts of the body. From the very beginning babies are very curious and are ready to start exploring. Infants necks are unable to support the weight of the head when the baby is sat up straight. They are able to turn their heads left to right when laying down. Infants are able to close their fist.

Growing up in a Hispanic household has shaped and built my values in life. At Appleton North High School, I am one out of the few Hispanic students. Knowing that my parents have migrated to America to give me a better future has motivated me to make it happen. Although, as a Mexican-American, I have felt out of place as a minority. However, with time I learned to accept my cultural differences. In fact, to this day, I thank my widowed father for the sacrifices and greater opportunities he has given me. My goal is to keep representing the few Hispanic students in college by working hard to achieve my career goals; not all Hispanics are fortunate enough to attend college. I also work to inspire young Hispanics to find their potential and follow

One photo of a man holding a baby sparked this whole debate about Mexican fathers. The impression of Mexican men was that they were not active in their children’s lives. They were thought of as those who “shun those kinds of duties” such as caring for their children (Murray 311). When showed the photo, different people had different reactions. Some thought the man holding the baby looked tender; while others believed the photo looked forced and unrealistic. The people of Mexican culture saw nothing odd about the photo. The ones who questioned it were people from other areas of the world and anthropologists.

Approximately 1 in 6 individuals are Hispanic in the United States, and the population is expected to grow to 1 in 4 by 2035 (CDC, 2015). Given that, Hispanics are the biggest minority group in the US (CDC, 2015). The leading cause of death among the Hispanic population is heart disease and cancer responsible for around 2 out of 5 deaths (CDC, 2015). Hispanics have a 50% greater chance of death resulting from diabetes or liver disease than whites (CDC, 2015). Additionally, there are 3 times as more uninsured Hispanics than whites (CDC, 2015). According to the US average, whites are 15 years older than the Latino population, so prevention will greatly benefit the health of the Latino population (CDC, 2015).

In this paper the theories of multigenerational family therapy and structural family therapy are applied to the Melendez family. Beginning with the biography of the Hispanic family, assessment of the strengths and vulnerabilities of the family, stage of the family life cycle, cultural elements that impact the family and explanation of the types and qualities of relationships depicted in the Melendez genogram and ecomap the foundation for therapeutic goals and interventions are set. Goals and interventions based on the multigenerational family therapy theory are theoretically applied with the goal of the family to recognize emotional patterns to decrease anxiety. The Structural Theory application will focus on the presenting

Being born in a predominately Hispanic city was not always an easy thing to do. The issues of discrimination would and still reflect the amount of medical aid Hispanic children receive. After graduation, I would like to attend a university and accomplish a career of being a PharMD. With the powers that come with achieving this degree, I would like to invest not only economically, but as well put in time to start new reforms for children and adult medical aid for Hispanics in Texas.

I live in the city of Utica in New York State which has in recent years seen a increase in our Hispanic population. As a community, we have seen many "come North" to the area from New York City to reconnect with family that has lived in the area for years. The impact that this population has made can be seen in our downtown area by the creation of businesses that serve the Hispanic community including restaurants, specialty grocery stores, barbershops and nightclubs.

Climate change, once considered an issue for the distant future, has moved firmly into the present, and is beginning to affect Hispanic populations in the United States. According to the Environmental Defense Fund, climate change causes a net rise in global temperatures that inflames health-harming air pollution, adds to extreme weather events and heat waves, changes the spread of certain vector-borne diseases, and more. Many of these health impacts are already being felt across the United States, mostly aiming at the Hispanic population because of the statistic that they’re more likely to live in polluted neighborhoods, and because of the type of jobs the parents have, Latinos are three times more likely to die at work from heat-related illness, according to Yale Climate Connections. Many elements in the BIG GEMS acronym play a role in why the Hispanic population is more likely die from

An all-consuming fear and uncertainty continues to spread among Latino communities nationwide, after hundreds of immigrants continue to get arrested during ICE raids across the U.S. Fear continues to grow among the Latino community in Morristown, N.J., as President Trump has made it clear that he would stick with his deportation force plan. According to the last Census, Hispanics make 34.1% of the population in Morristown, N.J., and it’s estimated that one-third of the 34.1% are illegal immigrants. Amid chaos and outcry, Morristown’s mayor, police chief, community faith leaders, among other city leaders gathered with community members on Feb. 25 in Morristown, N.J. at Millburn Town Hall to discuss the new immigration law and the potential challenges

Coming from a huge Hispanic family, we make it a point to get together for every holiday and special occasion. I am fortunate to, not only have a big family, but a very close one. Each event involves aunts, uncles, aunts, cousins, and young second cousins who all come together. In the Hispanic culture they are referred to as tios, tias, primos, and primas. Ever since I was young, we have always come together to celebrate each occasion.

The incidence of diabetes is rising among the residents of California at alarming rates. Approximately 55% of the adults in California are estimated to have either diabetes or prediabetes according to the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research 2016 study on prediabetes (UCLA Center for Health Policy Research, 2016). This is especially concerning for the Hispanic residents within the state as they make up the largest ethnic group in California, at more than 38% of the population (United States Census Bureau, 2015). As the total number of Hispanics in California raises so too has the number of Hispanics diagnosed with diabetes. This literature review explores some of the culture, traditions, and beliefs of the Hispanic population related to diabetes and the need for cultural and linguistic competence to improve health care delivery.

Hispanics experience a number of diseases that causes this population to constantly seek health care help. In 2004, the leading causes of death among Hispanics was : diseases of the heart, malignant neoplasm and unintentional injuries. For the purpose of this assignment, I would like to discuss HIV, as nowadays, remains a leading cause of death among Hispanic population. Accordingly with Kaiser Family Foundation , the rate of HIV among this population is four times higher than within the white population.

Tre is the pseudonym the parents chose for the anonymity of this youth. Tres means three in Spanish but was shortened to Tre because he happens to be the third generation with his father’s name. Tre was born in 2012 into a mixed family, the father is a full-blooded Hispanic and the mother is a Caucasian woman, but Tre definitely takes after his father. Tre now looks very similar to the pictures that his parents presented of the father when he was the same age. Prior to this observation research was done into the developmental stage of a three year old and upon observation Tre seems to fit into the normal progressive state that any child of three would go through. He’s smart, imaginative, creative, not at all shy, and seems to be well mannered, but maybe a little spoiled. Tre was the first baby born and also the first male born into this family in 14 years. Desi has a little girl born from a prior relationship who is now 5. Lucy also has three girls of her own from a previous marriage. Lucy is even lucky enough to be a grandmother at 40 years of age to one child with a second on the way. Desi and Lucy are the parents of Tre and who where in the room when the observation of Tre took place and they were the caregivers later interviewed. Lucy is the sibling of a co-worker as this was the interviewers first ever contact with the couple; the co-worker accompanied the interviewer to make things a little more

I have seen over the years that the Hispanic population in California alone has grown enormously in California let alone the United States. The federal government came up with the term Hispanic to “provide a common ground to a quite large but diverse population of people that have come to the United States from a Spanish speaking country” (Clutter & Nieto, n.d.). I have seen that Hispanic families are a very tight family and that is very important to them as a social unit. Hispanic the term “family” consist of lots of family members like: children, parents, and even extended family like cousin, grandparents, etc.
