found innocent, after being sentenced to death by an ineffective defense attorney who failed to present available medical evidence showing that the child´s head injuries were caused when Velez was away in Tennessee working in construction. This example shows how people are condemned to things they did not commit just because they are not White or as a result of their lower social position. Moreover, the inadequate counsel for the poor and Hispanic population had influenced court trials where thousands of innocents have been sentenced to death in all the American territory. In consequence, Manuel Velez became another prisoner of the Penitentiary System to be declared as innocent and obtained his freedom back in 2013 after these incidents that…
From the beginning of man’s existence we have struggled to communicate with God. God’s voice, which seems to be non-attendent, has caused man to contemplate God’s very existence. Does God hear me? Does God care? Why does God let bad things happen? Man will never stop searching for the answers to these questions. That is why faith is the core piece of Christianity. We are not meant to know God’s divine plan, we are only to know that he will always be with us. Through his grace we receive our salvation. Throughout Endo’s, Silence, I struggled with the main character Rodrigues in his selfish and prideful idea of salvation and his conception of faith to God. Keeping to his priestly duties, through the traditional sacraments, performed rituals, and even the wish of his “glorious martyrdom”, in effect, were not allowing him to receive salvation as a gift of grace and mercy, but rather using them as fulfillment for his deep seeded desire to glorify himself and earn his place in Paradise. In my opinion, the moment Rodrigues apostatized, was the humbling symbol of his true acceptance of God’s grace and his realization that nothing he could do alone, even his “glorious martyrdom”, could redeem himself of being a sinful man. This transformation does not necessarily break “the silence,” but rather breaks down Rodrigues’ pride to finally hear the voice of God, and trust in Him.…

In regards to traditional family, Brazilians have very substantial catholic roots; which in turns implies a high presence of catholic family models, with some “modern twists.” The traditional family model in Brazil is a man and woman headship, church marriage; however, because of how current and distorted the view of marriage has become in Brazil, there is a law now that enacts a “stable union,” versus a church marriage which has been falling in “fashion” the last few decades. A “stable union” means that people become “married” under the law by way of contract with the exact same rights as a married couple, but do not change their names and claim the official status of “single.” The average ages in which men and women engages in these “stable…
I selected the family AO which is based on personal acquaintance for this project. I will complete a comprehensive analysis using the criteria that I will be describing in details in the proceeding paragraphs. This criteria includes description of the nuclear family form; demographic trends; sociocultural data. Genogram and ecomap; environment; communication; power structure; role structure, values, spiritual activities; socialization; adaptation and healthcare. “The nuclear family, consist of a husband provider, a wife homemaker and children. Two growing variations within nuclear families are dual-earner/ dual-career and the childless family. In dual-earner families, the major challenges focus on managing housework and child care; having two paid jobs and family relationship. Women, according to numerous studies, still do the lion’s share of family…
I am from the Island of Haiti with French and African ancestors. The Haitian culture is very much part of our family. Haitian food has a sense of the Creole that is a blend of influences. Mixed roots and spices. In our household, we don’t have a particular time that we eat or a specific diet. My mom and I do most of the cooking in our household. It does take a very long time to cook a meal because of how we prepare our meat. All of the meat is seasoned and left to marinate hours before it is cooked with a special mixture called Epise Blended vegetable and chicken flavored Maggi cube. We eat everything from Chicken, pork, beef, goat and seafood. Also, potatoes, rice, corn, beans, plantains. There is also a strong presence of tropical fruits…

The ‘child-savers’ movement began in New York in the early 1800’s. These early groups were concerned mainly with the moral education of children. They felt that private groups and families were not doing enough to properly educate young people and wanted more control to be given to the government. These groups were formed by prominent members of the community who could influence law makers. “Child-saving organizations influenced state legislatures to enact laws giving courts the power to commit children who were runaways or criminal offenders to specialized institutions” (Seigel & Welsh, 2011). From these groups the concept of parens patriae was made popular.…
