    For the purposes of this assignment, I had the privilege of interviewing an incredibly talented person by the name of Cynthia Jeanette Hyatt, who graciously granted me a last-minute interview after an incident with a previous interviewee rendered that interview borderline unusable.This is not to suggest that choosing her for an interview was merely a matter of convenience. While that did indeed play a role in her initial consideration, the opportunity to interview her was truly appreciated and ultimately enjoyable. Due to busy and conflicting schedules, the interview was conducted in the common area of the high school at which the interviewee works and the interviewer attends.

  • Essay On Latino Appearance

    994 Words  | 2 Pages

    The Court’s reliance on facial appearance is misguided because there is no such thing as a Latino appearance. The appearance standard is distorting the identity of the Latino community by conceptualizing it as one monolithic entity. These conflations of identity ignore the diversity of the Latino community. The idea that Latinos are all dark skinned and undocumented is just a social construction and is not reality. The Latino community is highly heterogeneous in facial and skin appearance because of a long history of racial intermixing. Latino facial appearance varies considerably and runs the gamut from having light to dark: skin, eye color, and hair color. Socially there are vast differences in the community in language and citizenship status. The flawed stereotypes about Latinos affect both those who appear Latino and Latinos who are lawfully in the country.

  • Gender Roles in Latin American Societies

    The idea that a woman’s job is to be a wife and mother is old-fashioned, but not completely out of style. Though these roles require a great deal of talent, resilience, patience, love, and strength, to name a few, they are often underestimated or depicted as simple. Especially in modern times, many women in the United States who stay home to raise a family are viewed as anti-feminists, whereas women in Latin America are not criticized for similar actions. In recent decades, more Latin American women have started to break the mold, daring to be both sexy, and successful in the workforce, while remaining pillars of domestic life.
