Through informal discussion he stated that he went to private school in Columbia and that his family lived, “a very good life there”. He told me that his father Herman is an academic and is in the US on a 3-year assignment for the United Nations. This information leads me to believe that he has been raised in an affluent household and has been well educated in his L1. The family consists of his father Herman, his mother Rosa and his 7 year old sister Karla. Mateo seems to be indifferent to the school environment.

She was also taking several women studies classes and had many of her friends preach to her about their feministic views that altered her perceptions on the gender equality in her culture. One day that her father was visiting he an to speak to her that they need to create a two-year marriage plan. As absurd as it sounded to Sayeed, she could not believe that what once used to be a joke when she was a child was becoming a reality. Her father had already a candidate in mind, and she was distraught that the boy he wanted her to marry was a distant family member. She understood that her father only wanted the best for her, but she was discomforted by the idea that her dad was promoting her around and trying to recruit a husband for her.
As of 2010, with the total population of the United States at 310.2 million individuals, White Non-Hispanic Americans are 64.7 percent of the United States population. While the second largest racial group in America is Hispanics with 16 percent of the population. According to the trends, the population is estimated to be at about 439 million in the year 2050. That's quite a rise in the population in the next 40 years (129 million) and who knows the impact it will have on our economy and job availability. It is also estimated that White Non-Hispanic Americans will be less than half the population at this point with 46.3 percent of the population being that race.
This monograph by Mary C. McComb on how college youth and experts negotiate their class identity as "middle class" during the economic crises of the Great Depression enters this conceptual quagmire, but although she occasionally comes close to tripping a fuse, she emerges with some illuminating pathways. McComb has crafted a tidy research monograph with well chosen cases in order to focus on the formation of a class-based discourse on middle-class identity in a decade when the economic basis of class privilege was undermined by weakened depression-era prospects. Close readings of student newspapers at five colleges and Universities contrast the views of relatively privileged Amherst College men with those of their female peers at Mount Holyoke. She then sets these perspectives against those of less elite collegiate youth at two additional private institutions, but in these cases coeducational schools in urban settings (Washington, DC) with distinctly different racial student bodies-the white George Washington University and the black Howard University. Finally, McComb fills out her research with the case of students from a land grant public university, the University of Michigan, where she was completing the dissertation on which this book was based.
Among the major findings: * One in eight of the nation's young people live in California. Three-fifths of those in the age group are people of color, and almost half are immigrants or the children of immigrants. As the report cites, "This poll paints a portrait of a generation coming of age in a society of unprecedented racial and ethnic diversity -- the first global society this country has seen." * Twenty-four percent of the respondents consider the breakdown of the family to be the most pressing issue facing their generation today, followed by violence in neighborhoods and communities, and then poverty and global warming. However, several significant differences among racial and ethnic groups existed.
