Hispanic Stereotypes

Racial profiling relates to having an ascribed status because they were born into a life of poverty and crime. Cops and others see people that live in section 8 housing as being below a standard that they are accustom to. In most cases people that come from a poor upbringing tend to move up on the social spectrum which is called achieved status, in fact those some people who lived in cop infested areas are now becoming doctors, lawyers and etc. Racial profiling violates the 4th amendment which stops unreasonable search and seizures without having a warrant from a court. A functionalist studies society as a whole and with racial profiling in New York and other cities it causes a big dilemma.

A dichotomy is a when there are two or more polarizing ideas surrounding the same topic or ideology. The dichotomy that I have chosen to discuss is one that affects most first generation students and the communities they hail from. This dichotomy is the divide between the different economic classes of minorities specifically in the american latino and hispanic communities. These flaws in overall unification come from things as simple as geographical differences to as complex as socioeconomic place and education status.The “us vs them” dichotomy of the differing economic classes felt by the american latino community has divided and weakened the community by serving to prevent the formation of a unified front when facing social and economic issues.

What is the planned change process? Planned change process is a strategy where changing a condition, pattern of behavior, or situations in a way that will improve a client 's ability to interact in social settings. According to the table on page 119 of the textbook, the foundation for generalist social work practice is to engage, assess, plan, implement, evaluate, and terminate. Engagement is when they see a problem and establish communication to try resolving a problem. Assessment is when a practitioner contains a rough image of their clients ' strenghths and needs.

For centuries people have associated the parents’ success with the kids’ success, basically assuming that since the parent is a slave than the kid will be nothing more than a slave as well. Sensitivity towards the inequality has forced minorities into a corner that makes their violent behavior obligatory. “Greater income inequality seems to amplify and intensify the effects of social status differentiation - - bigger material differences creating bigger social distances. So the most common trigger to violence seems to be people feeling disrespected and looked down on (Wilkinson, 2011).” Although slavery promoted this degradation and disrespect towards African Americans, minorities are making it clear that those days are over and that they will not settle for anything less than equality and

Despite the Hispanic princess conservancy, it true that the media has everything to do with the problem, since it frustrating knowing that each “ethnic” group must wait their turn to have some sort of representation on Television but in a positive way. According to Raul A. Reyes a CNN news writer, Latinos get nothing but negative attention “A 2012 study by the National Hispanic Media Coalition found that TV shows and films often contributed to the public 's negative perception of Latinos. In fact, the Coalition found that the top three ways that non-Latinos viewed Latinos in the media were as criminals, gardeners and maids.” Meaning that instead of providing positive inspiring views about Latinos the media tends to do the opposite. In other

The most pressing issues facing Hispanics would have to be deportation of illegal immigrants. Honestly, most of the people that get deported are treated unjustly, because their goal in life was come to the United States and pursue the American dream of living a better life. Just like U.S. Citizens from other races have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, all Hispanics should too. To fix the issue, I would make sure that every Hispanic illegal immigrant in the United States goes through a background check and have their employers write recommendation letters in reference to their work ethics as well as comment of the person’s relationship with his fellow workers. In addition, we would interview the individuals asking simple

The reason why is because having this knowledge helps the social worker bridge communication barriers with a foreign individual. In turn, this may contribute to building an emphatic relationship with a client from another cultural background. During my training

Racial profiling is a controversial, illegal, and discriminatory practice in which individuals are targeted for suspicion of crimes based on their ethnicity, race, or religion rather than on evidence-based suspicious behavior (Racial Profiling). A few examples of racial profiling are all Muslims being terrorists and all African Americans being labeled as gang members. These labels are based on race or ethnicity and have no merit. Although the practice is illegal in the United States, many groups concur that racial profiling is still evident today. Society has put the people affected by racial profiling lower in what society expects of them.

Blacks tend to be poorer, less educated, have fewer job opportunities, live shorter lives, and have high infant mortality rates (Brodzinsky, 2013). Conclusion The Latino/Hispanic ethnic group census is an extensive collection of many different subgroups. The culture defines who they are, even when in America they outshine every other ethnic group with them quickly becoming the majority. With the past still present in the standards of today, there are still issues within the community in the form of Colorism. One should remember: “Latinos come in many shades, and the diversity simply adds to the vibrancy of our culture” (Rivera,

A generation that played by the rules and see progress, fall out the middle class. This shrinking middle class harms people of color more than whites. For example, “the unemployment rate among black Americans is roughly twice that the population, whites, and black people earn, on average, between twelve through twenty-two per cent less than Caucasian people with similar education and experience are on top of the racial hierarchy, while variously shaded African Americans are below caucasian (Siaiecki). Thus Caucasians in socioeconomic position (class) and prestige (status)” (Gans). Although opponents claim racism, no longer exists, American society is still biased against people of color because they are more likely to be lower class, do

Occupational Therapists (OT) need to be aware of cultural and societal factors that impact habits. They need to anticipate psychosocial results due to disability, identify a client’s roles and habits that may be impacted and consider a client- centered approach with their rehabilitation goals.

Upon arrival to their country of origin after they have been deported, they suffer economic deprivation, since it is difficult to find a job in a limited job market. And while it is dangerous to emigrate in the first place, many do it all over again because of push factors such as negative conditions in their country. In their interviews, Morris and Palazuelos found that 80% of those they spoke to were planning on re-emigrating to the United States.

For example, during the discussion Sarah Weltz mentioned that even when minorities are able to get that top notch education. They are still at a disadvantage with job opportunities just because of their race. Which connects to the experiment of how people are getting hired base on if their name sounds white and not base of actual qualifications. Other than that, racism has always been a recurring issue throughout history that helps indirectly lead many to poverty. Such as when When Rebecca mention that Nemertea of racial groups in America faces discrimination when they first arrive such as the Irish and Italians.

A shared appreciation is produced by being around others who communicate a similar vitality of society and its individuals. The debate or discussion is seen in the mentoring and networking opportunities that are afforded by professionals who supervise and guide the new helpers in finding better ways to work with their clients. Subsequently, advocacy is encouraged through awards given by the professional organizations to its hard working members who affect society in a positive way. Advocacy remains the foundation of counseling, and therapists advocate for clients, causes, and the profession. A counselor is inspired by moral and ethical principles, who strive for change in dogmas by exploring within the administrative, financial, and societal systems for an idea that can guide towards resources that foster growth for clients, professionals, and mental health care itself.
