Children attending school in Cuba start their day with a chant, “¡Seremo como el Che!”, meaning we will be like Che. To this day, revolutionary character is played upon as a central element to Cuba. Ideology, and popular support are the two central factors in any revolutionary government. Castro is no different in needing to establish both in order to gain power. Or is he?

Everyone has heard about Cuba, but it might be one of the most interesting places that people really don’t know too much about. Cuba is the biggest islands in the group of West Indi islands, that is just west of the Dominican Republic. This large island is also just over 89 miles away from Florida and the Gulf. The terrain on the island of Cuba is very interesting. It is interesting because in the southeast area there are a lot of mountain and green rolling hills and on the opposite side of the island it is some very flat terrain.

I come from an authentic Hispanic family, who is traditional in plenty distinct aspects. We treasure all the memories that have occurred to all of us and we laugh about the embarrassing moments we all had. We hold traditional customs and we accept new traditions as well. All of us are over protective of each and every family member, meaning that if anyone in the family has a problem we will not stop until it is fixed. To every family member, family is always first.

1)The first article is called Portuguese Immigrant Families: The Impact of Acculturation this was written by MARIE MORRISON, M.A. and SUSAN JAMES, PH.D..

Culture is something that is lived every day - everyone shares their culture with others, at home, at work or in public places. To better communicate with specific groups of people, it is important to understand their values, beliefs and daily activities. Latino communities are groups that are made up of people of different nationalities, including many races. This community also includes people of different skin color, sizes, hair types and accents. Also, its culture includes a wide range of attitudes, beliefs, values and behaviors.

The Latino lifestyle creates a strong bond together, and most the time are all closely together. The positive side was well explained and described in the book. For example, whenever there is a need of an advice or counsel, a Latino would go to the family and ask them according to their experiences, an explanation on how they handled their issues. In addition, Schaefer said that most Latinos use their family as resources to support them throughout their lifetime (2014). Unfortunately, a negative factor that comes with familism is turning down opportunities, in order to not get separated from the family (Schaefer, 2014).
