Similarities Between Hispanic And Latino Groups
The Hispanic/Latino group is very complex, we are all the same, but at the same time, we are not. The reason why I say this is because if you take a look only in one country considered part of the Hispanic/Latino group you will find out that even in the same country people are very different depending on the region. Let’s just put this more simple, take a look into your own family, and you will realize that even though you are all family and you love each other, every single one of you is very different, with some similarities of course. The Hispanics one are those of us that speak Spanish, while the Latinos are those of us that come from Latin America, I know, this makes not same to me either. There are many unanswered and unasked questions

    Who Constitute The Hispanics?

    The term ‘Hispanic’ recognizes people whose cultural ancestry lies first in Spain and then in the Spanish-speaking countries of Latin America which comprises of Mexico, Central America and most of South America except Brazil, and several Caribbean nations. The term gained wide spread prominence only after the 1960s. (Jorge Iber, 2005:6). Spanish and Portuguese explorers and settlers began to arrive in America in the early 1500s. With the intermingling of different communities over the years, most of the Hispanics living in the United States are of mixed heritage. In social research, the definition of any ethnic or racial group always tends to be problematic. Although they are all referred to as a whole, the Hispanics are not a homogenous ethnic or racial group as is perceived by people across the world. The term in itself could be a suitable label for people who do not comprehend the intricacies of this varied population. Despite these romanticised notions of a common identity and political cohesion, first generation immigrants never used to identify themselves as Hispanics. They have always perceived of themselves as Cubans, Mexicans,…

    Hispanic Cultural Assessment

    There are several key components of a comprehensive cultural assessment when talking to a Hispanic patient. Communication is one of those key components. Hispanics are often multicultural in a language with their main language as Spanish and English is their second language (Gonzalez & Morrison 2016). Communication can also depend on the person’s education level and what gender they are since some cultures have women as second-class citizens and sometimes men talk for them. Hispanics are often flexible with time. They would rather spend time with family and friends and making them feel comfortable than to rush around being concerned about appointments and time. Hispanic are a very close culture they like to kiss each other on the cheek…

    Differences Between Hispanic And Latino Culture

    I can say the similitudes between Hispanic and Latino is that they are in the same region, but not necessary have to be their first speaking language. Referring to the fact that Hispanic comes from the Latin word “Hispanicus” meaning that is from Hispania, which if we translate to English it will be Spain as the name of the country of España. On the other hand some differences between these two terms will be that Hispanic refers to the same language and Latin is based on geographical. Caribbean’s, Brazil and Portugal they are in the side of Latin American based on the fact that they don’t have different speaking language comparing to the Hispanic. Chicano manly refer to the Mexican-American, meaning that it is originally from Mexicans that…

    The Importance Of Group Work In Latino Culture

    America is a nation of immigrants. Unless your ancestors were the indigenous people to the land, you as well are a descendant of an immigrant. Throughout our history, the immigrant population has grown and developed over time. Consequently, a need has risen for social work practice within this group of people. There are many different kinds of immigrants worldwide. All of them have their own culture, ethnicity, beliefs, values, nationalities, and etc. that they bring with them.

    Immigrants: The Hispanic Challenge

    The persistent inflow of Hispanic immigrants threatens to divide the United States into two peoples, two cultures, and two languages. Unlike past immigrant groups, Mexicans and other Latinos have not assimilated into mainstream U.S. culture, forming instead their own political and linguistic enclaves—from Los Angeles to Miami—and rejecting the AngloProtestant values that built the American dream. The United States ignores this challenge at its peril.…

    The Negative Effects Of Latino Culture

    As a latina growing up, I have seen white privilege happen and it saddens me that some people think that this issue isn’t a big deal. My culture in the media shows the negative effects of the latino community. We are portrayed as people who tend to be of darker completion or most-likely being in this country illegally.
