No Mas Bebes The film “No Mas Bebes” documents stories of individuals involved in the Sterilization of racial minorities in Los Angles. These individuals range from the women whom got sterilized, the whistleblower Doctor, the Doctor in charge of the board, and the Lawyer hired for the Lawsuit against the hospital. In the interview, all of the women whom got sterilized did not give proper informed consent to get sterilized. They were put under pressure by the Nurse or the Doctor and unknowingly gave their signature, the papers were written in English not Spanish.
The movie “Bajo la Misma Luna,” in my own opinion, is a wonderful film representing all of the obstacles and sacrifices families have to go through to live in a free and safe environment. Some of the obstacles that these Mexican families encounter would include the hardships illegal immigrants face with la migra along with the reasons for Mexicans to immigrate and cross the border. Also jobs available for illegal immigrants are difficult to find as well. All of these things can be very dangerous especially being an illegal immigrant but it could take years to completely become an American citizen so the quickest way is to go illegally which splits families like Carlitos and his
Que Vivan Los Tamales analyses the history of Mexico's evolving national identity via food. Mexican cuisine has changed dramatically from the the era of the aztecs, to the period of Spanish colonialism through to the Porfiriato dictatorship. Through these periods we we see food being used in a manner to unify the nation and create a national united identity. Below I will argue how the country attempted to unify its people though cuisine. When the Spanish conquered Mexico, they tried to impose old world techniques and spices onto the Mexicans.
Discuss and analyze how and to what ends fantasy and reality are intertwined in stories you have studied. In this essay, we will discuss how magical realism uses elements of real and of magic to create the literary style. At first, we will try to give a background of what magic realism, where it comes from, and how a story can be labelled as such. Alejo Carpentier’s “Viaje a la semilla” and Julio Cortazar’s “La noche boca arriba” will be our focus.
As much as you can wish for someone to change, sometimes it is just easier to accept others for who they are and understand that won’t ever change. In Abuela Invents The Zero, the main character, Constancia, has a hard time understanding this and frequently mentally criticises her grandmother for just being the way she is. “I have to help her the climb the steps, and she stops to take a deep breath after each one, then I lead her down the aisle so that everybody can see me with my bizarre grandmother. If I were a good Catholic, I’m sure I’d get some purgatory time taken off for my sacrifice. She is walking as slow as Captain Cousteau exploring the bottom of the sea, looking around, taking her sweet time.”
La voz a ti debida has received criticism from a number of academics for being a misogynistic work of poetry and is described as “androcentric” by Bermúdez. The theme of possession is widespread in the poem, along with the objectification of the amada, both anti-feminist elements of Salinas’s work. In addition to this, the beloved is portrayed as empty and lifeless, only acting as a hindrance to the happiness of the narrator, whether she loves him or does not. The amada’s power is only weakened by her lack of voice, taken from her by Salinas. The theme of possession is prevalent from the onset and throughout La Voz a ti Debida.
Back in 2009, the devil walked up on Audobon Ave in New York. She wore beer cans as hair rollers and red leather shorts, and was mocking hot Caribbean boys who asked for her phone number. The devil's name was Natalie Yepez, or Maluca, which means "bad girl" in Caribbean Spanish. She was performing in the video for her first single, "El Tigeraso." (Tiguere, a variation of tigre, or tiger, is how Dominicans refer to men.)
Los Vendidos is a play by Chicano playwright Luis Valdez. Luis Valdez was born in Delano, CA in 1940 and worked in the fields throughout this youth.

El Anatsui is an African contemporary artist, who uses art to expresses the culture of Africa post colonialization. Anatsui uses natural materials such as wood, clay, and discarded bottle caps in his artwork. Many of his pieces reflect the Ghanaian culture, by using inspirations from Kente cloth, a traditional West African cloth made from woven textiles with multiple patterns. He uses his art to take a stand by informing people on the issues that Africa currently faces. Anatsui’s art references many historical events from Africa and around the world.
In the Dominican Republic, abortion is illegal. Article 37 of their constitution states that “the right to life is inviolable from the moment of conception and until death”. When a pregnant sixteen-year-old girl was admitted to the hospital, diagnosed with acute leukemia, doctors were hesitant to administer the chemotherapy treatment needed to try to save her life. Chemotherapy usually has adverse effects on a fetus and can lead to termination of the pregnancy, and since no exemptions were made on the ban on abortion, doctors did not want to take the chance and treat her for fear of legal repercussions if the fetus were to die from complications of said treatment. After many appeals to the government and the medical staff by the girl’s mother,
Therefore all health care professionals are required to provide treatment when patient has given consent voluntarily either consent or not to consent, given full information of the risks benefits and alternatives of the procedure
From the town fool to mental asylums, the subject of madness has always been a topic of great interest by the majority throughout history. Regardless of the long history of attention, even now with a diagnosing manual, “madness” is still complicated to define and often met with problems with reliability. However, one single definition of madness holds stagnant across time: those different from the rest. In both Don Quijote by Miguel Cervantes and Rameau’s Nephew by Denis Diderot, this idea of the “mad” as the unusual is clearly shown through the respectively divergent two main characters. Through the individual representations of the multifarious shades of madness, Cervantes and Diderot are able to bring forth similar tools of character attachment
Regarding effective communication, “good interpretation and good translation go a long way toward solving cross-cultural communication problems and language barriers in health care” (Dreachslin, Gilbert & Malone, 2013, p. 289). These services, through interpreters or voice-assisted devices, provide better opportunities to blend cultures and understand the tradition and beliefs of diverse populations. These two topics were just samplings of the information discussed, but they stuck out to me on a personal level, while pushing me to promote cultural competence and understanding beyond this course in all my future workplace
