In the article, Community-Based Applied Research with Latino Immigrant families: Informing Practice and Research According to Ethical and Social Justice Principles, researchers conducted a culturally adapted evidence-based parenting intervention (PMTO) combined with a collaborative approach that requires equal participation from researchers and community members (CBPR) (Baumann, Domenech-Rodriguez & Parra-Cardona, 2011). Researchers utilized this integrated model to implement a research parenting intervention program adapted for Latino families within several states. This model follows the social interaction learning theory which places emphasis on child outcomes through parent-child interactions. Researchers reported many unpredictable challenges (ICE raid in Utah) that surfaced throughout the course of the research including situations and challenges that required a critical evaluation of ethical guidelines and guiding principles pertaining to the researcher’s roles of treatment provider and scientist. These challenges were faced by following ethical guidelines, theoretical models, and research methods which ensured there …show more content…
According to Rubin & Babbie (2016), “Some have argued that social science and social action cannot and should not be separated” (p. 95). For this reason, researchers decided to use their power and privilege to intervene and provide assistance to the distressed Latino families. Through managing both relationships, researchers ensured the participants immediate needs were met; community resources were sought, and researchers participated in community action groups that ensured the families had food, healthcare, and supplies. Researchers also left their contact information with families in case they needed any additional assistance (Baumann et al.,
Those who were affected by the testing in hospitals, prisons, and mental health institutions were the patients/inmates as well as their families, Henrietta Lacks, the doctors performing the research and procedures, the actual institutions in which research was being held, and the human/health sciences field as a whole. Many ethical principles can be applied to these dilemmas: Reliance on Scientific Knowledge (1.01), Boundaries of Competence (1.02), Integrity (1.04), Professional and Scientific Relationships (1.05), Exploitative Relationships (1.07, a), Responsibility (2.02), Rights and Prerogatives of Clients (2.05), Maintaining Confidentiality (2.06), Maintaining Records (2.07), Disclosures (2.08), Treatment/Intervention Efficacy (2.09), Involving Clients in Planning and Consent (4.02), Promoting an Ethical Culture (7.01), Ethical Violations by Others and Risk of Harm (7.02), Avoiding False or Deceptive Statements (8.01), Conforming with Laws and Regulations (9.01), Characteristics of Responsible Research (9.02), Informed Consent (9.03), and Using Confidential Information for Didactic or Instructive Purposes (9.04), and Debriefing (9.05). These particular dilemmas were not really handled until much later when laws were passed that regulated the way human subjects could be used for research. Patients
There is a large Latino population in the United States. “By mid-century, one in every four "Americans" will be able to trace their heritage to a Latin American country”(Cauce & Domenech-Rodriguez, 2000, pg.4). By the year 2050, the United States population will be 30% Hispanic. Spanish speaking Latinos are the most prominent minority in our society, and because of this it is important that people put forth effort to understand their culture, language and any drawbacks that might come with living in the larger culture. Because of the large population of Hispanics in this area, it was easy to find a family to interview. The family’s country of origin is Mexico. A large portion of the Hispanic population in the United States is from Mexico. In fact, 60% of the Hispanic population in the United States has origins in Mexico (Saracho & Spodek 2008,
Relating his personal experiences and encounters of being raised as the son of Latino immigrants within the states, readers are presented with realistic and factual accounts of Latino immigration. As a successful and renowned American journalist, Suro’s narrative was a successful, four-part exploration of Latino status, future trajectory, and points of origin. Within “Strangers Among Us”, Suro takes a look at network migration while contrasting African Americans and Latinos. In the second part, Suro analyzes and interprets Latino immigration and the reactions of Americans and other ethnicities. He then analyzes various Latino groups throughout America in six different large cities within the country before finally in part four, identifying immigration policies that he believes will work and be successful within the states. Suro’s narrative successfully analyzes and discusses many issues within Latino Immigration while giving an overview of many different Latino groups and how each group and America deal with this rising
Affected by my family, my background, and everything around me, I was born in a family who is the first generation to get here. My grandmother, and my parents, along with some other relatives, moved here in search of better opportunities, like those from other countries for the same idea. They started out fresh but had a hard time to get started, when I was little, I assumed it had to be somewhat easy, but for people who do not know English it is like starting from scratch, but they did well, they’ve made it.
In comparison to other migrating groups, Latinos have had different experiences that have prevented them from completely assimilating into American society. Throughout our history and presently, Latinos continue to face acts of cruelty and...

Latinos have struggled to discover their place inside of a white America for too many years. Past stereotypes and across racism they have fought to belong. Still America is unwilling to open her arms to them. Instead she demands assimilation. With her pot full of stew she asks, "What flavor will you add to this brew?" Some question, some rebel, and others climb in. I argue that it is not the Latino who willingly agreed to partake in this stew. It is America who forced her ideals upon them through mass media and stale history. However her effort has failed, for they have refused to melt.
To most people ethnicity is shown by values, lifestyles, customs, and rituals that are personal to an individual ethnic group or religion. The feeling of belonging to a certain group is a basic need for mankind. In a sense, ethnicity can be separated into two particular categories, a unique social structure and culture heritage passed down from one generation to the next.
My mother, who manage to speak broken English, and I, immigrated from Mongolia at the age of seven to meet my mother after being separated, live together now. We do not receive any help from relatives or the government. Last year, 2016, as I lived with my single mother, we truly defined the struggles of a first-generation immigrant family. She lost her job three times and each time, it made the financial burden grew to be bigger and bigger till it peered over us. The rent payments accumulated. This brought upon our family of two great difficulty to meet our daily needs such as food and even rent payments. As we were stumbling out of the debts due to unemployment, my mother got into a car accident and which helped us plummet further into poverty.
Previously working with pregnant and parenting teens for many years to interning in two clinical outpatient settings, I have worked a lot with Latinx clients. Though it is a wonderful population to work with, there are many barriers that make it difficult to work with them. Most clients that I have served, have been undocumented
Almost 25% of the U.S population is Latino children under the age of 18. Latino families are known to value respect in their culture. The research study done by Holtrop, Smith & Scott examines five specific parenting practices of Latino families and whether or not they affect how Latino children externalize their behavior. The five parenting practices include monitoring, discipline, skill encouragement, problem solving and positive involvement. For the sake of my research I will just focus on discipline which includes setting limits and consistently enforcing rule violations with non-punitive sanctions. This is in contrast to European-American parents who are inconsistent with their discipline and sometimes hostile. The study was conducted with 83 Latino immigrant families with 2 parents and at least 3 children. The results showed that the more the parents disciplined, the more the children externalized their behavior. This was attributed to the fact that Latinos are known to use non-coercive discipline and the study was biased to this fact (Holtrop, McNeil Smith, & Scott, 2014). The fact that the Latinos demand respect in their culture is derived from their religion which is Catholic Christianity. 1 Peter 2:17 says “Honor everyone. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the emperor”. However, using non-coercive discipline is not Biblical. Proverbs 23:13-14 tells the fathers “Do not withhold discipline from a child; if you strike him with a rod, you will save his soul from
born parents, there are several aspects to look into. In general, Latino immigrant families experience more poverty, loneliness, isolation, language difficulties, fear, and hopelessness (Dettlaff & Johnson, 2011). Other than that, Latino immigrant families also face more difficulties regarding acculturation. This is due to the changing of cultural context (Dettlaff & Johnson, 2011). As Latino families move to the U.S., they face the loss of established support systems; they are under the stress of seeking new support systems while experiencing difficulties to gain access to supportive services in the United States (Dettlaff & Johnson, 2011). On the other hand, children who are born in the families with U.S. born parents faces difference challenges. They tend to experience more discriminations towards them, more segregation, and the minority status in the United states (Dettlaff & Johnson, 2011). Children in U.S. born Latino families have a greater involvement in risky sexual behavior, and also show signs of decreasing in academic performance and increasing in school dropout rates (Dettlaff & Johnson, 2011). At the same time, U.S. born Latino children also encounter higher intergenerational-intercultural conflict (Dettlaff & Johnson, 2011). This could be due to the fact that the parents still hold some traditional values while their children are developing U.S. values from school and their peers. Conflict develops when there are disagreements regarding
In this paper we discuss why it is that teen Latino immigrants have the highest high school dropout rates. From a sociological perspective, I think it’s important to know why this particular group have the lowest educational attainment to better comprehend the challenges as well as the consequences for both the wellbeing of immigrant teens and their socioeconomic status in this country. This paper focuses on Latino immigrant teens as they represent the majority of immigrant youth in America and as a way to illustrate risk and circumstances that are potentially shared by other immigrant groups; Immigrant teens can face unique challenges related to cultural and social adaptation, language proficiency and poverty. Failure to address
Acculturation has been conceptualized as a bilinear process characterized by developing an orientation to both the dominant culture but also the culture of origin (Serrata & Fischer, 2013; Dettlaff et al., 2009, p. 4). However, acculturation is not simply a process that people go through, but rather it is part of the migration experience and thus people are very likely to experience acculturation stress. Acculturative stress results when individuals lack the necessary coping skill or means to interact and be successful in the new environment (Dettlaff et al., 2009, p.4).According to Arbona, Olvera, Rodriguez, Hagan, Linares, and Wiesner (2010) study, there are three major types of stressors among Latino immigrants: instrumental/environmental, social/interpersonal, and societal (p. 362). Instrumental/environmental stressors include challenges related to obtaining the goods and services needed for one’s daily existence.
There are many differences within other cultures that have various types of effects upon parent involvement and perception. DeCario, Gudino, Baweja, and Nadeem (2014) study centered the focus on Latino cultures as a whole, because the increase of Latino immigrants within countries keeps rising. This study showed that Latino parents had a high rate of parent expectations and involvement because parents valued the outcome of their child’s future. In other words, Latino parents monitored their children out of fear of their children losing themselves to the dangers of bad influence, which would cause them to put education to the side. For example, the fear of their children joining gangs, doing drugs, and not continuing with their education was
