[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Richard Rodriguez's seeming abandonment of his Mexican cultural identity only served to strengthen a new cultural identity he believed he had to establish if he was ever going to make the most of himself.

Documentary on Latino Family in NYC
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page essay that analyzes Nuyorican Dreams, a 1999 documentary directed by Laurie Collyer, which focuses on the family of Marta Torres, an immigrant from Puerto Rico who came to New York in search of the American Dream and a better life for herself and her family, but instead found an American "nightmare" (Bell-Russel, 2000). The term "Nuyorican," according to Torres refers to someone who is of Puerto Rican extraction but who knows nothing of their Puerto Rican heritage or culture. As such, the documentary pictures this population as a people adrift --stigmatized within the US by white mainstream culture, yet not able to fall back on a sense of belonging to Puerto Rican culture because these cultural values and perspectives have not been transmitted successfully to the next generation due to environmental influences. This situation has huge implications from a health perspective, and the documentary explores the drug-related problems of Torres' grown children. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper which
discusses the woman who was known as Dona Marina. Dona Marina was Cortez' lover
and interpreter. According to many she was either a heroine or a traitor, while others feel
she was merely a reflection of her culture in her actions and attitudes. The paper utilizes
"Conquest of New Spain" by Bernal Diaz and "Expanding Ethnicity in Sixteenth-Century
Anahuac: Ideologies of Ethnicity and Gender in the Nation-Building Process" by Thomas
Ward in further examination of her involvement as it pertained to her position as a slave
and a Christian, which were forces that greatly influenced how she was seen in regards to
her position as heroine or representative of her culture. No additional sources cited.

Drug Use and Treatment of Hispanic Immigrants
[ send me this paper ]
A 24 page paper discussing the influence of culture on addiction treatment. This paper includes a 5-page section on clinical implications not contained in the shorter paper of the same name. Much of the research into drug use among Hispanics of the past has identified Hispanics only by cultural identification, without giving a clear picture of those cultural matters that can influence whether a Mexican American chooses to seek help in breaking an addiction. There are several aspects of the Mexican American culture that prevent Mexican Americans from moving along the same path of addiction resolution that individuals of other ethnic groups navigate in similar journeys. This paper discusses some of these points, including acculturization and the tradition of relying on family groups in times of crisis. Counselors need to realize that Hispanics who enter treatment likely already have used these social structures without success. Includes an abstract and an outline. Bibliography lists 19 sources.

Economic Development in Cuba
[ send me this paper ]

Cuba have not proven themselves to be very effective in achieving

their sagging economy of recent years. Bibliography lists 9
sources.

Eight Factors Of Irony And Complexity: Influence Upon Cycles In Mexican History
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. Much like Murphy's Law by virtue of its facilitating effect for change but at the same time more comprehensive in nature, the eight factors of irony and complexity have proven to be an instrumental force in the formation and subsequent progress - or failure - of man's entire growth and transformation as a species. While Murphy's Law is based upon what people have already experienced and therefore warn against, the eight factors of irony and complexity serve as the precursor for those events prior to man's ability to experience either the consequences or benefit of said event. Mexican history is no stranger to this truth, with corn playing an integral role in myriad cycles. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
