Hispanic Social Problems

Introduction

This term paper tackles the problems, image and roles of a not well known minority in the American society, which is Hispanics. Hispanics are those Spanish-speaking populations who live in the united state of America.
The monograph is divided into two parts. The first one, which is itself divided into two chapters, is about the different element of the Hispanic culture, and the social problems that stand behind their suffering. The second part, which is divided, too, into two chapters, talks about the image of Hispanics in the American media, and the role that non-governmental organizations play in the improvement of their social situation.

Description: " BIHA was established in recognition of a lack of communication and information sharing within and between Communities of Color regarding family violence. The unveiling of the size and growth of the tragedy of family violence in our society had resulted in the coming together of battered women from all comers of Minnesota. During the process of working on law changes and building a financial base to provide services to the victims of family violence, Communities of Color remained untapped and unassisted. BIHA was created to provide education, information and advocacy for and by Communities of Color and to serve as a forum for translating current concerns (family violence, racism, ageism, AIDS, chemical abuse) within communities of color for presentation to society as a whole".
