The next thing is build the comprehension, Selena had nothing to do with food or ice cream, so making people understand that her brand has the power to expand to different markets with taste and class is important. Following, building credibility with the hispanic community and other fans of selena is paramount. With recent animosity towards these communities, it is important people understand we conduct this business with the utmost respect. Finally when it comes to building desire and taking actions, the Selena brand performs strong. Nostalgic and emotionally invested lifetime fans will rush to purchase the ice cream and post images of social media, thus extending our reach and growing our sales. Also in consideration is the partnership of working with local apple stores, allowing us to give customers of our new product a voucher for one free download on itunes, that may be used to purchase “Como La Flor”, this would be an added incentive to get people to try the new product, while also building more awareness of the song as related to the

I would listen to her music when I got the chance and just close my eyes and be mesmerized by her music. There are people out there today that when they listen to her music they are affected by her singing and just let go and dance to the rhythm.
First, I will talk about her childhood and how she became famous. Selena Quintanilla was a Mexican singer. According to biography.com she was born on “April 16,1971, in Lake Jackson, Texas.” She was known as the “Queen of Tejano” which is a style of Mexican music such as country. Selena’s first language was English, but her father taught her to sing in Spanish, so she picked up on the language, and became a fluent Spanish speaker. At the age of 10 Selena was the lead singer in her family’s band known as “Selena Y Los Dinos.” They played in weddings and clubs in Texas but it was hard for them because a lot of people think that women can’t get the attention of men singing Tejano music, but she proved them wrong.
Selena’s hard work, perseverance, and determination are qualities which further exemplify why she was able to reach success at a young age. She was willing to follow her heart and her dreams, even though she was uncertain of the road ahead of her. Selena has won the highest number of Tejano Music Awards as a female artist and also winning a Grammy Award for the best Mexican/ American album, Selena Live!

Selena Quintanilla was such an amazing person inside and out more known as the queen of tejano music. She won the hearts of many people young and old in the little time she was here on earth. Blessing many people with her contagious smile, and positive upbeat attitude. Selena has always had where to pull from when it came to being musically talented. Her father Abraham Quintanilla played in a band called Los Dinos which means the boys in Spanish. He had to give his life up as an artist because he got married and had his first kid. Therefore he had to find a better support system for his family. So when he saw that Selena had talent he focused all his goals and dreams on her. Therefore selena had to make a lot of sacrifices and not live a normal childhood.
pop music because other artists had already broken the barrier of this new trend of genre combinations. Selena was making a crossover to dance music similar to Paula Abdul or Madonna.

According to the director of marketing at Blue Bell Carl Breed, “We plan to go after the low carb and Hispanic influence market. But we will continue to provide fabulous tasting ice cream, that appeal to almost every customers and we will never lose sight of the fact that ice cream is supposed to
The main character in the film “Selena” is a woman named Selena. Everyone else in the movie is a sub character that plays off of the role of Selena. The movie is about Selena’s life and the movie begins with her as a little girl and ends with her as a Mexican-American pop star loved by both the Mexican and American communities. Selena goes from being a young girl who’s band is compromised of her brothers and sisters to a mega star known by fans all over the world. As Selena became more successful she faced many obstacles in her career. First, Selena had to learn Spanish in order to sing in Spanish to connect with the Mexican community as her father felt she had the best chance to make it big if she tried to appeal to the Mexican community. Once she became a huge star with her Spanish singing music, she then did a crossover album in English, which helped to make her a pop star worldwide. Since Selena was Mexican-American, not Mexican, it was an obstacle for her to be seen as authentic by the Mexican community. Selena’s second big obstacle was that she was a woman. Mexico is traditionally a male dominant society and before Selena there had never been a Spanish singing female to evolve into a superstar. In the movie, Selena overcomes both of these obstacles and she does become one of the greatest

When Selena Quintanilla was finally nominated for a Grammy in 1994, she wore a gorgeous white beaded dress which in the end was donated to the Selena Museum.
To help me understand and analyze a different culture, I watched the film Selena. The film tells the life story of the famous singer Selena Quintanilla-Pérez. Not only does it just tell personal stories from her life, it also gives insight to the Mexican-American culture. Her whole life she lived in the United States, specifically in Texas, but was Hispanic and because of that both her and her family faced more struggles than white singers on the climb to her success. Even though the film is a story about a specific person, it brought understanding into the culture in which she lived. Keeping in mind that these ideas that I drew about the Mexican-American culture is very broad and do not apply to every single person in the culture, there
could you Imagine what it would be like to grow up as a performer in a world that didn’t even except female Tejano singers? Can you imagine how much courage and work it would take to make it to the top? That’s was Selena Quintanilla Perez had to go through. Selena was born in Lake Jackson, Texas on April 6th, 1971 to Abraham and Marcella Quintanilla. Abraham was a shipping clerk for a chemical company and Marcella was a housewife. Abraham being a well respected Mexican musician, who only sang English songs, and had his career ruined because of that. American people didn’t respect him because he was Mexican, and the Mexican people did not respect them because they sang English songs. By the time Selena reached age 10, it became very
Dr. Patricia Bath is an ophthalmologist, inventor, teacher and laser scientist. She was born in Harlem, New York on November 4, 1942. Growing up Patricia had to deal with racism and poverty. When she was only 16 years old she was one of only a few students who was asked to participate in a workshop held by the National Science Foundation. The topic of the workshop was cancer research. Dr. Robert Bernard led this workshop and he was so impressed with Patricia’s work that he wrote about her research in a scientific paper. Patricia was extremely intelligent and graduated high school in only two years. Patricia remembers that as she was growing up she did not know of any female doctors or surgeons. Those professions were always held by men.
Born in Lake Jackson, Texas on April 16, 1971, Selena Quintanilla-Perez would come to be known as the “Queen of Tejano music.” With the help of different sources to provide evidence and support to my argument, the aim of this paper is to examine how Tejana singer, Selena was able to impact those around her with her career as a musician and through the medium of music. Selena rose to success by continuously crossing over to different markets. She not only impacted her fans one by one, but also brought about social and cultural changes by fleshing out tensions between Anglo and Latino communities by bringing people together through music.
n the How a Member Decides to Vote module you are asked to act as a congressman and vote on the flag desecration amendment. This amendment was proposed to punish people that desecrated the flag by burning, spitting, walking on, or anything else that would belittle the flag. By doing this you learn to look at the many different viewpoints that were presented to you in the activity to try and sway your vote. These viewpoints includes those of people like William Cramer and Tony Lorenza that say by disrespecting the flag that it dishonors the thousands of men and women who have died protecting the flag, or the viewpoints of people like Carole Richards, Ed Carpenter, and Alberta Washington that said that it is what the people of the country and your district, that you are representing, wanted to be done. The people for the amendment also stated that burning the flag wasn’t a way of speech that it was a violent act that people should be punished for.

In a scene from the film, Selena, Selena Quintanilla-Pérez, a Mexican-American singer, is ignored by a white sales woman. The sales woman judges Selena on the color of her skin, determining her social status as one unimportant to her business, not realizing that Selena was actually a celebrity. Just as the sales woman predetermined a role for Selena rooted by race and ethnicity, Waretown High maintained class, gender, and race stereotypes in determining girl’s futures and outcomes. Julie Bettie’s Women Without Class discusses these stereotypes through expectations set for las chicas and the preps by the school, families, and themselves, the exclusion of hard-living students, those whose families were low income, and the ability for some girls to become upwardly mobile as an exception to the rules.
