Y Tu Mama Tambien: Film Analysis
I agree with how a film could predict Mexican men as drinkers and drug users. The film Y Tu Mama Tambien is a very bias towards Mexicans in general. Not every European man is wealthy and successful. In every race, you have individuals seeking to marry a wealthy individual regardless, if those individuals are of the same race or another race. I believe there should be more films displaying all races in positive way. This will cause some of the racial issues seen on the internet and media down. As a counselor, I would have to become aware of myself by acknowledging how my cultural beliefs have shaped my attitude toward others with a different background. According to Baruth & Manning (2012), in order to be an effective counselor, counselors

    Amistad Film Analysis

    Amistad, directed by Steven Spielberg, displays the fierce determination of 53 African abductees and their compelling desire to return home. Led by Cinqué (or Sengbe), a man longing to see his wife and son in Sierra Leone again, the men aboard the ship La Amistad rebelled against the Spanish slave traders who guarded them from escape. Using sugar cane knives stolen from cargo aboard the ship, the Africans defeated the gun-wielding Spaniards. With ambitions of returning to West Africa, they eventually ended up off the coast of Long Island instead of the initial destination, a Cuban port. Even as the native Africans adjusted to an entirely different life in America, their African identity still remained apparent throughout the film.…

    "The quality of putting others before yourself is a great way to build your self-esteem and continue to those who need you at the same time". This quote that was one said by Sonora Roy preaches the importance of caring for others.Being mostly concerned about yourself will make you a narcissist.

    Another example of stereotype I saw in the movie was when a young Hispanic man was changing the locks in Sandra Bullock’s house. She took a look at him then turned around told her husband that she wanted to have the locks changed again the next day because he was a thug and was going to sell a copy of their key to one of his homeys. She just saw his exterior and made the assumption not even knowing he was a hard-working man and an amazing father to his little girl.…

    Stereotypes In The Film 'Latinos Beyond The Reel'

    Stereotypes of all racial ethnicities have been a major issue not only here in the United States but as well globally. Many people tend not to realize that latinos/latinas in the film industry have to settle for roles that have always been associated with their cultural backgrounds. In the “Latinos Beyond the Reel” it not only showed what latinos in the film industry have to deal with on a day to day basis just to have work. In many cases they are forced into these roles because the role of the hero or character that has the happy ever after endings are typically played by predominantly white people. The roles of greaser, villain, house maid, sexy latina, and criminal are all of which have become the norm to latinos for decades. The film does a wonderful job of showing the reverse side of what lations feel and their thoughts towards these stereotypical roles. It just goes to show you how media can influence people's opinions and views on a ethnic race that has stuck for more than a century.…

    Film Analysis: A Day Without A Mexican

    The film is very racy and at times incredibly inappropriate, but at the core of it it shows a harsh reality, a reality that most people do not comprehend. Most people in today’s society takes for granted the fact that most illegal immigrants do the hard labor in our country and without them the country would eventually fall apart. The movie would impact the field of sociology by forcing individuals into reality and really including immigrants in various things like surveys and studies. It would overall improve the perception of America, by including more of the other Americans that we don’t really consider to be Americans. Sociology could use an example like this in the field, because one the simple fact that. The only issue is that I don’t think it will impact the future generations of sociologists, for the simple fact that overall it is not a very good movie and the reviews show that so it will not peak the individuals’ attention. This is relevant information, because of its prevalence in our society. Racism, not only to Hispanics, exists everywhere in the world and this movie not only expresses the idea that it does exist, but it also makes light out of it and teaches us that we shouldn’t take everything to seriously. This will in turn will impact the opinions of people who are studying sociology and the related…

    Everyone has a story. As we learned in the movie Amistad, everyone goes through something different that changes their lives and shapes them into the person that they are today. This event or happening that takes place can have many emotions: sad, joyful, mournful, happy or even none. It all depends on how we react and let it affect your life. A major part of my story, and what has shaped me into the person I am today, is my parents’ divorce.…

    What Are The Stereotypes In The Movie Crash

    I believe that the film Crash challenges stereotypes of African Americans,Hispanics, Middle Easterners, and Whites. One of the stereotypes that it challenged was about hispanics being thugs, liars, cheaters and scammers. This occurred in the scene when Jesan said, “Now I am telling you, your amigo in there is gonna sell our key to one of his homies.” We later find out that the locksmith, Daniel, is just as hardworking as any other person and had good intentions for the sake of protecting his family. Similarly, now we tend to always bring up President Donalds Trump famous saying about Latinos," They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people," in which he affiliates Mexicans and criminals as one. I'm glad to see this portrayal of a hardworking hispanic man in the movie because like I addressed earlier, the stereotypes about hispanic people are being reinforced by public figures who hold a lot influence to their followers and to see in the movie a positive portrayal definitely…

    Culturally Competent Counselor

    Becoming a culturally competent counselor is an ongoing process; it is vital that professionals strive to become culturally competent as it would help the counseling process and therapeutic relationship. In order to learn more about other ethnic/racial groups that are different from my own I would need to become more involved in the community, read educational literature about ethnic/racial groups, and engage directly with other ethnic/racial groups. For instance, during times when I travel to other states, I should take advantage of that opportunity and explore ethnic and culture groups. An example of this would be my trip to Pennsylvania, during that vacation, I spend time with people that are Amish. Often times there are activities and…

    Some of the stereotypes I saw in the movie were along the lines of: Asians cannot drive sufficiently, people with dark skin are thieves or hoodlums, people of Middle Eastern descent do not belong in the United States, and all Latinos are from Mexico. I have heard some of these stereotypes before and stereotyping is a bad practice. I think people stereotype because they are ignorant, they o know any better. Either that or the like putting others down, they are racially insensitive, or they do not care. Some people stereotype, not all.…

    Reflective Essay: A Career As A School Counselor

    As schools become increasing diverse, cultural competence is essential. Thus, school counselors must have awareness, knowledge, and skills to help the needs of the Asian student population seek higher education. As a minority, I believe that multicultural counseling can greatly impact the lives of students. During my high school years, I felt unaccepted and not understood by my assigned high school counselor because she wasn’t cultural competence. Because my assigned high school counselor couldn’t understand why I chose to apply to only one university, Fresno State, I wasn’t able to go to her when I had questions about college. What she couldn’t understand was that although I wanted to earn an education for myself, I also wanted to stay in Fresno to help financially support my parents. Tatman (2004) states, “Counselors must acknowledge the value that the Hmong place on the family and community and the importance this value plays in all aspects of their lives”.…

    Multicultural Competency

    There are several professional development strategies for enhancing my multicultural competences and ability to work with diverse student populations within their unique worldviews as a school counselor. One is to discusses these competences with a counseling peer to receive his or her opinion on how to they have expand their competences. For instance, if she suggested that I might have to ask a student a specific question about his or her own culture to further my understanding then I would consider using that option. I would start doing this in a general sense during my internship and practicum, so that I can start expanding my competences now, but I would also use it in terms of specific situations with my peers at my further counseling…

    Different approaches to modelling as a form of counselling training, and their relative effectiveness

    Trainee counselors and trainers in counseling training programs are expected to be committed to the social values of respect for diversity, inclusion, and equity. They are also expected to be committed to critical thinking and the process of self-examination of their own attitudes, assumptions, behaviors and values. They are expected to learn to work effectively with cultural, individual, and role differences, as well as to acquire and utilize professionally relevant knowledge and skills regardless of their beliefs, attitudes, and values.…

    Personal Biases In Counselors

    The first theme that I took away from my readings is that as a counselor I need to consider a persons culture. Rheam pointed this out in her interview, and I think this is a very important subject. It is easy to become wrapped up in our own biases, and judge based off of what we’re told, and hear from the media. After 911, I felt that people where wrong to go on an attack against all Muslims; however, I found myself reacting a certain way towards the stereotypical looking Muslim. Although I knew in my mind that all Muslims were not terrorist, I still managed to judge, and react negatively. It’s important to know about personal biases, and to figure out different ways to address those issues (Erford & Hays). I have had to address…
