Already on Uruguayan soil, in colonial times; the times of Carnival and Christmas and New Year, Montevideans black slaves were lined with bright robes and gaudy and went outside to travel to town walls, whose feet may sing their songs and perform dances.

The Chicano Civil Rights Movement was a movement in response to segregation against Razas, or Chicanos, specifically.
Law-breaking, crime, and guns these words tend to fit together easily. However, are they related? We can't deny guns are powerful weapons. They can be utilized to either defend and protect or threaten and kill. As a result, gun control has been a controversial issue. David B. Kopel in his policy analysis, gun rights supporters at the Breaking Bread series, and the Future of Gun Control video at the NRA-news argued in favor of having guns. Unlike, Robert A. Levine in his article and gun control advocates at the Breaking Bread series who argued in favor of gun control. All are a reason of recent incidents, however I agree with having gun control under certain regulations.
The Chicano movement comes to a stop in south Texas where Mexican Americans students protested at their schools for discriminated against them (Barrera 1). The Mexican Americans were being discriminated by teachers, low grades for tests and overall grades in class and segregation of schools (Barrera 1). The Chicano students boycotted the schools by walking out refusing to return unless things changed (Barrera 2). They wanted the schools to notice the problems and make changes to improve the student’s life at the schools (Barrera 2). This is similar to the Asian American strikes because both of the ethnic groups wanted a better education. Another way this is similar because the Asian American strikes is refusing to attend school and the Chicano
For decades, immigrants have surrounded the United States with culture and diversity. In these states filled with Latinos, we see a lot of rich culture with food, music, fashion, and achievements. Latinos have a huge impact on movements and policies that happened in the United States for years. Starting with marches, protests, walkouts, laws, and policies. The most salient factor for migrant empowerment and migrant rights is the advancement of the policies and movements that the United States unlatched.

Due to the many broken promises and discrimination, many groups decided to fight back and start movements to get their rights and promises back. In the 1960’s many different movements began to form all for the same goal of political, economical, and social equality.
I my eyes being Hispanic means any number of things to me but above all being Hispanic means that I’m part of a community and a culture who works are and is always successful in all that they do. Being Hispanic is always being proud of who you are, where you come from and all that you have regardless of how little or how much. But perhaps one of the most beautiful things about being Hispanic is our culture, our community, and our beliefs as a culture we look out for each other and respect each other we do our best to build a community and a family everywhere we go.
National Hispanic Heritage Month is through September 15 to October 15 in the United States, it represents the Hispanic and Latino Americans heritage and culture. September 15 was chosen for the starting point for the celebration of Hispanic Heritage month because that was the anniversary of independence of five Latin American countries. The five Latin American countries where Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. But Mexico and Chile celebrate their independence day on September 16 and September 18. America is 60% hispanic compared to 45% of Caucasians and 50% of African Americans, so the hispanic and latino population is growing more and more in America. Also besides english, spanish is the #2 language in America.
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.
Find Your People by Jennie Allen, is a book that represents the true reflections of God’s heart for us to experience authentic, vulnerable, and meaningful relationships. Through Jennie’s wisdom and practical advice, she shares how to overcome the common barriers that keep us from finding our people and pushes us to fight to replace loneliness with community.

I have chosen the Hispanic population to discuss and explore what issues and health concerns are most prevelant within this community. The Hispanic population is one of the largest and fastest growing racial minorities in the United States. Growing at such a staggering rate in the year 2015 it was estimated that the number calculated was around 15million. Making up 17% of the nations population the numbers are only expected to expand even larger come the year 2060 to at least 29% ( Barrera G.A , Lopez H. M, 2015). What makes this population so unique is that under the cultural Hispanic umbrella you also have Latinos, European, African and Native American. When it comes to social economics issues they experience a high rate of poverty, unemployment,
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).
Lady Macbeth from Shakespeare’s play Macbeth is introduced as an incredulously ambitious woman who will do whatever it takes to seize the crown for Macbeth. However, towards the end of the play she begins to feel guilty as well as paranoid as a result from her ambitious actions. For example, at the beginning of the play she lets ambition lead her actions and delves into supernatural powers to make herself cruel as well as without remorse when preparing for the murder of King Duncan: “Come you spirits … /Of direst cruelty/Make thick my blood/stop up the access and passage to remorse,”(I, v, 41-46). Lady Macbeth is aware of her morality in the beginning and understands that in order to complete this sinful deed, she must rid herself from feeling guilt. Her actions of calling upon evil spirits shows her brutality and determination of achieving more power even if it does corrupt her morality and mental state in the future. The ambition and desire for power she carries in the
American society likes to believe that race relations in our country are no longer strained. We do not want to hear about the need for affirmative action or about the growing numbers of white supremacist groups. In order to appease our collective conscious, we put aside the disturbing fact that racism is alive and well in the great U.S.A. It hides in the workplace, it subtly shows its ugly face in the media, and it affects the education of minority students nationwide. In the following excerpts from an interview with a middle class African American male, the reader will find strong evidence that race plays a major role in determining the type and quality of education a student receives.
People are usually categorized in terms of race and/or ethnicity. Race is a term typically used to classify people according to similar and specific physical characteristics. Ethnicity is a term more broadly used that connects people according to an inherited status such as: a shared ancestry, language, history, religion, cuisine, art, clothing style, and/or physical appearance, etc.
