Study on a Hispanic Club at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville

Personal Statement What I think of myself and what I hope other see in me is a humble, enthusiastic, and hardworking young women who values education, has a passion for community service and sports, and has a drive for helping minority groups. My traits and values were very much influenced by my parent and older brother. Both of my parent are from Guerrero Mexico. They have always taught me to embrace my culture. I have always been an advocate for the Latino community but also for minority groups in general.

The Hispanic Family Center have always taken a leadership role in coordinating efforts with other community organizations to facilitate the provision of a full range of services for individuals and families in need. The Hispanic Family Center works with other entities to ensure appropriate access to services while maintaining a particular emphasis on promoting health, self-sufficiency and opportunities for its consumers.

The Indiana Latino Institute celebrates the Hispanic Heritage Month that begins September 15 and concludes on October 15. Each annual celebration is filled with diverse events throughout the month. The “Orange-ing” of the canal was the first of many events for the Indiana Latino Institute as part of their month-long celebration. The event included Zumba to Despacito, lunch from local food trucks, and promotional booths, including a partnership with the American Red Cross of Indiana to gather donations for hurricane relief in Puerto Rico, Mexico, Florida, and Texas.

The Hispanic League is a cultural, educational and community-driven non-profit organization. Its mission is to improve the quality of life for the Hispanic/Latinos through promoting community inclusion, education, health and multicultural understanding. On April 29th, I had the privilege to interview the organization's executive director, Mari Jo Turner. Mari Jo Turner has been part of the Hispanic League for about five years now. Before joining the HL, in 1990, Mrs. Turner was a member of another non-profit organization called, Association for the Benefit of Child Development (ABCD). This organization's main concern targeted the Latino families as well, they found several almost to be mothers did not have prenatal care for their babies due

Donna, your discussion board was very interested. You and I are writing about the same individuals which are Latinos. Latinos are a great topic to write about because they have some interested materials about their culture. I agree that Latinos are more likely to use alcohol and drugs in their adolescent years. The journal article, “Substance Use and Cumulative Exposure to American Society: Findings From Both Sides of the US–Mexico Border Region” supports that, “Mexican immigrants increase their use of substances while in the United States by means of the early age at immigration and years living in the United States” (Borges, Cherpietel, Orozoco, Zemore, Wallisch, Elena, Mora, & Breslau, 2016, p.119). Adolescents also have severe behaviors

Ethnography tells about a culture and the members that comprise this culture. A definition is the scientific description of the customs and individual people of a culture. The process of doing this assignment allowed me to explore another aspect of a cultural group. I was able to learn extensively about interactions between individuals and how see them as a culture. The group that comprises my ethnography is a cultural group very common to Utah. The culture I focused on was the LDS culture, to be more specific I studied a sub-culture of this group. My subculture was a group of 12 year old adolescents that are a Sunday school class in this culture.

As we begin to go on an excursion through literature, it is important to understand the concept of what an ethnography is. Ethnography is known to be a descriptive type of work that analyzes culture and customs of individual people. James Clifford has implemented this work into his studies and has influenced many others to do the same. I saw through the books I have read, ethnography makes these books become vivacious for a reader.

Ethnography is a qualitative method of research in which the researcher takes part in the activities of a group such that they are able to complete their observations over a period of time in a natural, real-life environment.

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.

Hispanic on Board: How does Hispanic experience gap in career promotion in comparison with American employee.

Answer: Ethnographic research is different from other social science approaches to research because it goes more in depth. With an ethnographic research you are required to eat, sleep, and breath what is being studied. In order to get a better understanding you will need to incorporate such living (as that of the culture being studied) into your life. It’s more of a research to gain the knowledge of a current situation as oppose to something that has happened in the past. For example Sterk was researching prostitution. She followed the lives of many

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.

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 ethnography, also referred to as field research, is a qualitative research method in which the researcher can directly observe what goes on at the research site as well as participate, including asking questions. It is a useful method for studying small groups, such as work groups, in their natural setting. Ethnography is the term used by cultural anthropologists for conducting field research. Sociologists tend to use the term field research or participant observation. Ethno means "people" and graphy means "to describe something." Ethnography is describing people and/or their culture from their perspectives. In other words, ethnography describes the meaning of the situation from the point of view of the participants. How do the

Ethnographic research is the scientific description of specific human cultures, foreign to the ethnographer. Each ethnographer has his or her own way of conducting research and all of these different ideas can be transmitted and understood in a number of different ways. Because there is no one set idea of how an ethnographer should go about his or her research, conflicts arise. In Reflections on Fieldwork in Morocco, Paul Rabinow uses a story like process to discuss his experiences during his research in Morocco. This makes it easier for the reader to understand his ideas then just having a technical book about the many different aspects of Moroccan life that he may have discovered. In Writing Culture: the Poetics and Politics of
