    Nuestra Familia A Broken Paradigm Analysis

    Nuestra Familia: A Broken Paradigm, written by John “Boxer Mendoza, explains the life on the inside of the notorious prison gang, the Nuestra Familia. Mendoza articulated the story of how he rose through the ranks and how he’d eventually escape from the Nuestra Familia’s control. John “Boxer” Mendoza grew up in the Mission District of San Francisco, often referring to his neighborhood as skid row, because of its extreme poverty and crime rate. At age two Boxer was placed in foster care and would remain there till the age of ten. Growing up, he had little guidance, mentorship, or was taught family values, so as expected, Mendoza resorted to gangs, drugs, and crime, to fulfill his needs to fit in, very early in life. Eventually, this careless…

Problems of poverty are prevalent in Brazil 40% of the county’s income goes to the top 10% of financially richest people where only about 1% of the income goes to the bottom 10%(1) about 35% of Brazil’s population lives in poverty(19). As of 2010 90.4% of Brazil's population is literate (17), out of Brazil’s total population approximately 50.8% are female although women only take up 43.7% of the workforce (3). Thanks to a proposal by feminist Brazilian Bertha Lutz the Commission on the Status of Women was created by the United Nations which helped to include “women as a category under international human rights.”(13). Women were allowed access to formal education as well as allowed to participate in the workforce in 1933 but it was not until 1988 that legal equality was decreed constitutionally (2). In 1985 Brazil became a democratic state and in 2010 President Dilma Rousseff is the first female to be elected in Brazil (4). .…

    The Inequality Between the Low and High Class in Brazil

    Brazil is the largest country in South America and it has the strongest economy in Latin America. The country has the seventh largest economy in the world by nominal GDP. Brazil is rich in natural resources and it focus on agriculture and industrial power. Despite the improvement on income distribution and bringing the middle class population to 95 million people which is a little bit more than half of the population in the country, poverty in rural areas are still very severe in Brazil. According to Rural Poverty Portal, "In the country as a whole, about 35 percent of the population lives in poverty, on less than two dollars a day." (1) The population in Brazil is about 197 million and with 35 percent of population living in poverty is equal to two times the population in Canada. Most of the poverties in Brazil are concentrated in the North East region of Brazil and it can be considered the single largest concentration of rural poverty in South America. The North East region in Brazil is the undeveloped part of the country where the population have no access to education, health care, technology and even clean water. Several causes of poverty in Brazil are land tenure, lack of access to a good education and also skill training. Through the literary short stories and Brazilian made films, we can somehow picture how different is the life between the lower and higher class families. The inequality is a very big issue in the country and even though the stories and films are fiction, it still shows us a reality that Brazil has been facing for a long period, which is the big gap between the rich and the poor.…

    Family Heritage

    Interestingly, there is NO exact definition for family heritage. I think it is one’s identity according to their family tree. A family tree is a chart that traces the ancestors and descendants of a family throughout history and identifies the relationship of one family member to another. Family heritage differs from culture to culture, and country to country. In Africa, for example, symbolic gestures, masks, costumes, and body paintings are used as a form of communication, while Asian cultures are foreign to that form of art.…

    Latin American Family

    The importance of family as the basic unit of society teaches one the benefits of forming and/or developing collective values and beliefs that allow the Christian Church to better evangelize and expand. Since the second conference in Medellin during 1955, the Latin American bishops stated their awareness in the lack of Christian ministry to families. First and foremost, the bishops identified the various difficulties Latin American families could endure—such as poverty, divorce, low marriage rates, abortion, etc. Aside from the idea that these issues afflicted families differently, the Church was also aware that not one family is the same and that they therefore must be accepting of all kinds of families and their dynamics.…
