Hispanic Americans Cultural Analysis Research Paper

 

Do a cultural analysis in which you describe the beliefs, values, worldviews and cultural practices that are associated with Hispanic-Americans cultural group. Also extend to cultures outside the United States as well as other minority cultures and identities such as Biracial individuals, Women, Gays, Lesbians, the Handicapped or the Elderly. In your analysis, discuss the group’s experience as well as the social, historical and political forces that shaped the group’s cultural orientation and its particular mode of adaption, i.e. integration, separation, marginalization or assimilation. You may also want to consider the various stages of cultural identity development as a basis of intra-group variations. While this paper may be descriptive, I also expect that you will apply the relevant theoretical concepts and perspectives. In so doing, you are expected to go beyond simply description to a more analytical level whereby you apply the relevant theoretical concepts. Your grade will be highly contingent on you doing so. The paper should be ten pages in length and conform to APA guidelines. Cite your sources and use references in the body of the paper.

Please include: introduction, cultural characteristics, acculturation, the influence of minority status, racial/ethnic identity/gender identity/sexual identity, etc.
