Hispanic Americans - Science topic

The question would best be answered after understanding some basic words. First:

A biracial child is a child born to parents of different racial backgrounds, meaning the child has a mixed racial heritage. For instance, a biracial child might have one parent who identifies as Black and another who identifies as White, or one parent who is of Asian descent and another of European descent. The term "biracial" emphasizes the blending of two distinct racial identities in the child's ancestry. However, it's important to recognize that identity is personal, and some individuals may prefer different terms to describe their mixed heritage, such as "multiracial" or "mixed-race."

Divorce can have unique and complex effects on the well-being of a biracial child, as it may intersect with the child's identity development, sense of belonging, and emotional security.

Divorce can create identity challenges for biracial children by disrupting their connection to one or both cultural heritages. Reduced contact with a parent associated with a particular racial background may lead to confusion about their racial identity or a feeling of incomplete belonging to either heritage. This disruption can cause cultural alienation, as the child may feel distant from one community or struggle to maintain a sense of balance between both cultures. Additionally, the separation may affect their relationships with extended family members on both sides, further diminishing their sense of connection and belonging to either cultural group. Combined with societal expectations or stereotypes about race, the divorce may exacerbate feelings of isolation or being "different."

The emotional and psychological effects of divorce can be especially pronounced for biracial children. Tensions or perceived favoritism between parents may increase stress and anxiety, while the child might feel pressured to identify more strongly with one parent or racial heritage, creating internal conflict and strain. A lack of validation from parents or communities can negatively impact self-esteem and a sense of self-worth. However, strong support systems and cooperative parenting can help the child build resilience. Encouraging connections to both cultures and providing emotional support can mitigate these challenges and promote a positive sense of identity.

Counseling plays a crucial role in assessing, diagnosing, and treating the effects of divorce on a biracial child by addressing their unique emotional, psychological, and identity-related needs. Below is an outline of how counseling approaches these aspects:

1. Assessment: Here, counselors focus on evaluating the child's emotional health, identity formation, and coping strategies to gauge the impact of divorce. This process includes examining several key areas including emotional well-being, Identity development, Family dynamics, Social interactions and coping mechanisms that involves understanding the child’s strategies for managing emotional and psychological stress linked to the divorce (Amato, 2000).

2. Diagnosis: After the assessment, counselors may diagnose specific issues, including adjustment disorders, anxiety or depression, Identity-related stress and behavioral problems emerging from unresolved emotional turmoil or feelings of neglect (Braver et al., 1992).

3. Treatment: Treatment involves personalized interventions aimed at helping the biracial child cope with the complexities arising from divorce. These approaches may include: Individual Counseling, family Counseling, group Therapy and Psychoeducation that involves offering education to both the child and parents about the specific challenges biracial children face, and how to support their healthy identity development (Furman & Buhrmester, 1985).

Interesting discussion.

Can we read any more?

La polarización Robinson Guerrero Segura en la sociedad capitalista ocurre cuando la clase media como amortiguador social entre arriba y abajo se está reduciendo, es decir, es un fracaso de la política económica.

Hi Nicole:

- The autonym does not need to appear on paper, it is created as soon as the other subdivision is effectively published, even if it is illegitimate or invalid. In a sense, all autonyms already exist as all the unused, but possible, subdivisions of a genus that contains the type.

- Any subdivision of a genus that explicitly contains the type of another preexisting subdivision at the same rank and which is validly published is per definition a nomenclatural synonym and is therefore invalid.

Dear Ruth Campbell ,

Racial and ethnic minorities in Western countries experience greater adverse health outcomes, such as higher rates of cardiovascular disease, cancer and diabetes and tend to receive a lower quality of care. It is recognised that patient-centred care (PCC) can help improve health outcomes and is a key dimension of high-quality care. PCC is a model of care involving patients and families in the planning, development and assessment of their care.

I believe that this critical friendship should be based on a call for equality of rights but it should also emphasize duties in order to have a basis to defend.

The following RG link is also very useful:

You need to use a single model that includes all of the dummy variables and all of the interaction terms (except for the omitted category).

For a basic example, you can look at Hardy, Regression with Dummy Variables, which is a volume in the Sage "little green books" series on quantitative methods.

Thank you so much for your help! I will try to revise the list and make it more concise.

No idea brother

Thank you so much John. I'll do the Lr test and see what works best.

Bingo, I don't think there is much out there, but it could be my own ignorance. Thanks Matt Schubert!

Mark D Soucy - Thank you very much, I have sent you the questions via email.

I appreciate any feedback you may have.

I agree with your views, Cam. It's a vicious circle for HBCUs because they face two difficult challenges: lack of robust funding and inability to recruit the best students.

No, I do not have that right now. Thanks for the tip. I'm really looking forward to your book! In America pluridity is much bigger than in Germany - so your book can certainly help a lot. Thank you for your help.

Dear Judith Faustin-gabriel,

In my opinion, look for a new dataset for Hispanic migrant farmworkers?

Best regards,

Nikola

Hi Etienne!

Here you have many references about studies on ApoE4 in Latin America.

Hope you find it useful!

I would doubt there to be one "preferred" dialect or "accent" because the hispanic population in the U.S. is incredibly diverse. The image that I attached to my reply is from the webpage whose link is separated below and shows origin statistics from hispanics in the US.

With regard to these statistics, even percentages like 3% need to be taken seriously because of the sheer volume of Spanish speakers in the U.S. (52,000,000 as of 2014, meaning Mexico is the only other country in the world with more Spanish speakers; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_where_Spanish_is_an_official_language).

There is likely to be a diversity of national origins and dialects within Spanish-speaking media outlets that is fairly representative of the nation at large. I say this, however, with one caveat. Some regions have many more people from certain origins. For example, most Cubans are in Florida, there is a high concentration of Puerto Ricans in New York, and there tend to be higher concentrations of Central Americans in large cities or near the gulf coast (https://collagegroup.com/2015/04/14/differences-spanish-dialects/). This could--and this is only conjecture--make it so that although Mexican-origin hispanics make up about 64% of all U.S. hispanics, there may be a percentage of Mexicans working in media outlets incongruent with this 64%. I say this because most media outlets are in larger cities, so I would semi-confidently venture such to be the case in places like New York and Florida, at the very least.

Why do I bring this up? I brought it up in order to highlight the diversity of origin/heritage in U.S. hispanics as well as other factors that could make Spanish-speaking media reporters even more diverse than a simple across the board look at the U.S. as a whole would seem to suggest.

With all of this in mind, however, and despite the origin/heritage of any given reporter, there most likely exists--and is currently evolving/being defined or led by big media players such as Univision as Mahmood pointed out--a sort of standard Spanish that reporters will gravitate to just like there is a very particular way for English-speaking reporters to talk.

All in all, I really doubt there is a "preferred accent or dialect" for Spanish language media beyond a striving for a the most neutral and universally intelligible dialect a reporter can muster.

Dear OA,

I am not exactly clear about what the real content of your question. Which/what is the topic that you are interested in?

Dear colleagues,

I supposed you find many  species with different characters & you described many new species... I think in the zone of volcan's activity the microevolution can be more present.

Good question, You have several ways to look at this.

First of all, let's look at the issue of race & crime. Just focusing on Criminal Homicides, blacks commit roughly the same number (actually a bit higher) of criminal homicides as whites (FBI-Crimes in the US). That in itself demonstrates how easy it for the skewed perception in your question.

The issue here (and in the other index crimes) is how does a minority match and surpass the majority in criminal events? You cannot ignore the influence of gangs and the gang culture in this issue. Minorities are extremely over represented in gangs and gang activity. That's not saying whites aren't in gangs, they are, but not at the same rate as blacks and hispanics. Most of the juvi tried as adult crimes are Murder, Robbery, Felony Battery, Habitual Felon and Sexual Assault. 4/5 of those are acts heavily used in gang activity.  

Of course Plea agreements are always on the table and can allso have an effect. Money (attorneys) and cultural aspects (levels of cooperation) can be used to lower/raise the chances of adult charges. 

I have not run into any consistant source to separate the gang activity charges from the regular population. The Justice Dept (Bureau of Justice Statistics) and the FBI give access to their reports/research which could help you in this issue. Numerous sources (like the Suntimes in Chicago and the Baltimore Sun in Baltimore) have homicide trackers which can give you snapshots of those jurisdictions.

Unfortunately this topic gets extremely political very fast. You are going to have to work hard to avoid that.

Dear Elizabeth,

Teaching the Hispanic culture as you know is not part of NCLB and therefore I do not think that there will be any studies on this particular issue except in critical literature. I would look into the works of Richard Delgado (U. Alabama),  Glenaba Martinez (U. New Mexico), and also Nancy Lopez, (U. New Mexico). 

Below is a final report on education in general of the LRGV and in there you will find some data on Hispanic education.

I hope this helps.

Throughout the colonial period, this region was inhabited by an ethnically diverse population, so several kinds of identity may be found in the literatures of New Spain. The indigenous peoples of much of this territory had an ancient literary tradition combining oral traditions with systems of visual notation, ranging from pure semasiography (the recording of ideas with a complex system of visual signs, straddling the fuzzy border between western categories of "art" and "writing") to mixed systems combining semasiographs with glottographs (in which linguistic units like morphemes and syllables are represented). This tradition continued throughout much of the colonial period, gradually loosing ground to alphabetic texts (in native languages, Castillian or Latin), in many of which we may find robust expressions of native identity, along with adaptations of western literary genres. Most of these texts existed only in manuscript form during the colonial period, some in conventual libraries where they were read and copied, others in native communal archives, where they were used to construct collective identities and as instruments in legal struggles. Many were published in the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries. For an overview of the native literatures of New Spain, see the appropriate volumes of the Handbook of Middle American Indians, including the more recent supplementary volumes. I have posted some studies on my ResearchGate page that relate to your question, especially regarding native literary traditions.

Literature produced by Europeans in New Spain and their criollo descendents is another story, interwoven with the latter. Some of the more famous texts have been mentioned on this thread. For early examples, see México en 1554 and Crónica de la Nueva España by the Spanish scholar Francisco Cervantes de Salazar, who came to New Spain to head the Royal University. By the mid-18th century many texts exhibit a strong sense of criollo identity, traditionally considered as a precursor of Mexican nationalism; see, for example, Bernabé Navarro B., Cultura mexicana moderna en el siglo XVIII (Mexico: Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, 1983).

¿Is this a "Latino" value, or is it a universal cultural value, shared by people everywhere who like to have a good time as they live out their lives?

I have met "personas simpáticas" (substitute an equivalent phrase in any other language here) just about everywhere I have managed to wander over the last half century or so.
