Abstract
This paper begins by discussing the growth of the Latino population in the United States and how it is impacting its politics. Next, the paper presents reasons why the Latino population is shifting its voting trends to the Republican Party. Finally, the active steps that are being taken by the Republican Party to gain in the Latino vote are examined.
From the Paper
"Ever since the infancy of the United States, the Latino presence has had a significant impact on forging the United States into a politically free and diverse country. From the times of the Mexican migration to "El Norte" to the period of exile for Cubans fleeing tyranny, the Latino presence continues to shape America. One of the most important contributions the Latino population has had in the United States is its impact to the political processes of government since they gained the ability to vote. Whether it would be for local government or for federal government, it is increasingly clear that the Latino vote is significant in the processes in which govern the United States. During the past, the Latino vote had tended to favor the Democratic Party due to their appeal in the economy, health care and social services. However, that trend is quickly disintegrating and the United States is seeing a shift in the Latino preference of political candidates."

"The representation of Latino regular characters on network prime-time television has progressively gone down in the last three years. Latino regular characters feature in just one among the eight series set in the Los Angeles County, an area that has 45% of Latino population. Latino full-time characters represent just 8% of the full-time characters in the 16 series set in the New York City where the percentage of Latino population is 27%. 50% of the Latino full-time characters feature on ABC programs.

Abstract
This paper discusses how Latinos come from a very strongly gender-differentiated culture where machismo rules, leading to the ?blackening? of homosexuality, and causing it to become taboo. It analyzes how this has led to many problems, most notably high rates of HIV infection among Latinos and, subsequently, Latinas, who are typically married to a secretly gay husband who contracts HIV with his male partner and then transmits it to the wife. It also looks at the differences between homosexual Latinos and Caucasian homosexuals and how Latino homosexuals are treated within their communities, by their families, and within Latin America as a whole.
From the Paper
"These are the traditional gender divisions within latino communites, although in some countries, such as Colombia, and in immigrant communities within the US, for example, these traditional cultural values are becoming more fluid, and women are generally being allowed more liberation. This is not the case, however, for homosexuals.
The macho latino culture does not see homosexuality as a viable option, with the culture defining the homosexual act as somehow against nature, against the dictates of Catholicism, and against all the latino cultural values, of familismo, machismo, etc. Homosexuals, in both genders, are therefore frowned upon, still, by the latino community."

Abstract
This paper discusses the tremendous impact that rising Latino immigration has had on social and demographic policy in California. The paper describes some of the laws enacted in response to the increased immigration and their resulting effects on labor and some of the arguments made by both the laws' proponents and detractors. The paper also looks at the problem of child labor with respect to the children of the Latino immigrant population.
From the Paper
"The population of California underwent dramatic changes in the last 60 years. In the 1940s, the Latinos were a minority of only 6% of the state or roughly 374,000 (Bautista 1991). But by 1980, the Latino population grew to 4 million, almost doubling the figure and increased to more than 7 million in the 90s. In the 2000s, Latinos accounted for a third of California?s total population, creating huge political, economic and social impact upon its entire society (Bautista). Besides sheer volume, the continuously increasing Latino population has developed the distinct feature. Before the 60s, immigrants were rare and less than 20% of these Latinos were foreign born, most of them from Northern Mexico. Immigration, however began to fill the ranks since the 80s so that, today, the majority of adult Latinos in California are immigrants. These developments are among the most important criteria to social and demographic policy makers in the state (Bautista) as well as other states in the Union. One area is labor."

From the Paper
"This paper studies the history and progress of Latinos in American society. Latino and Hispanic peoples are the fastest growing minority in the United States. Experts predict that in five years they will become the nation's largest minority group, outnumbering African-Americans. Many of their ancestors came to the New World before the ancestors of the nation's founders, yet history and social forces have made them America's newest minority and given them some of the greatest challenges to confront any racial or ethnic group trying to become part of the great American melting pot. Although Latinos are often viewed as a single group, in fact they include individuals from a wide range of backgrounds, cultures, and circumstances, bound together by a common language (which many no longer speak) and a common religion (which many no longer practice). Nevertheless..."

This paper discusses the history and impact of specific U.S. Latino interest groups.

Abstract
This paper explains that soon Latinos will become America's largest minority and both political major parties court the Latino vote; major political interest groups supporting this ethnic group have a long and rich history,have had a profound effect on American society and have bettered the lives of Latinos. The author points out that, with approximately 115,000 members throughout the United States and Puerto Rico, the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), which is the largest and oldest Hispanic Interest Group in the United States, advances the economic condition, educational attainment, political influence, health and civil rights of Hispanic Americans through community-based programs operating at more than 600 LULAC councils nationwide. The paper also discusses the history and programs of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, the National Council of La Raza, the Cuban American National Foundation and the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund.
From the Paper
"The Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund (MALDEF) is a national nonprofit organization whose mission is to protect and promote the civil rights of the more than 29 million Latinos living in the United States. For example, the group fights for education rights, and files legal suits to fight racial injustice at all educational levels. The group also seeks to ensure that Latinos are not underrepresented in high-ranking positions in the U.S. workforce, and that they receive equal employment opportunities. Furthermore, MALDEF fights for immigrants rights, like healthcare and civil rights, and for political access by doing things like attempting to eliminate any obstacles that prevent Latinos from voting.
A case that MALDEF took on in Chicago is a perfect illustration. In 1990, the Census revealed that the Latino population in Chicago grew from 14 percent to 20 percent of the city's total population between 1980 and 1990. But when Chicago redistricted its 50 wards in 1992 to reflect census findings, the number of Latino-majority wards increased from four (8 percent) to only seven (14 percent). MALDEF argued that this redistricting diluted Latino voting strength and that the council should have drawn more Latino districts to fairly reflect the strength of Chicago's Latino population."

Abstract
This thesis focus looks at the correlation between child abuse and childhood depression among Latino children, in terms of whether child abuse contributes to childhood depression. The thesis focuses on the Latino community that resides in California. This community is made up of first-generation immigrants and their families, who have been born in the United States. The thesis explores what child abuse is, how it can be measured, and also what depression is, the most likely causes for depression, and how depression can be measured. The factors that contribute to all of these conditions within the Latino community are also discussed in terms of what cultural factors are important in determining the levels of these conditions within the community, both internally (i.e., culturally) and externally (i.e., socio-politically). The links between abuse (intrafamilial and inter-racial) and depression are then explored, and conclusions are drawn regarding the factors that contribute to childhood depression in this racial group within the United States.

From the Paper
"The Latino community has it?s own deeply embedded cultural values and beliefs. Obedience is an important element for a family to be considered a good family (una buena familia). For the purpose of this study, the parents may be mother and father, or possible the grandparents, all of which will be addressed as the primary caregiver.
The Latino family defines discipline as a form of corporal punishment; the caretakers themselves may have been abused as children, and therefore consider corporal punishment an acceptable way to hand out discipline. Furthermore, it is difficult to get caretakers to see that when they discipline a child with corporal punishment, they are discharging their own anger on them, in many cases inflicting more pain and injury than was originally intended. The child then feels powerless and confused, and does not have labels for those feelings, and cannot verbalize what is happening to them, physically or emotionally."

Abstract
This paper will discuss the state of Latin education in the Untied States and will observe the nature of its lack of support for Latin communities. By revealing the lessons that have been taught in American culture, we can see how the economic status of these minorities are making education very difficult within the United States today. This sociological study will examine many of the aspects of neglect toward Latinos in the North American culture. By studying the immigration, the language barriers, and the community networks that are making Latino education difficult within the United States, a solution may be presented to alter the neglected policies of the United States government in relation to this.

Abstract
This paper examines the struggles that Latino players in major league baseball have faced over the years. The writer discusses the beginnings of Latino players in professional baseball, beginning in 1954 and continuing through the surge that began in the 1980s. The paper also discusses how the influx of Latino players has increased baseball's popularity in Spanish-speaking countries worldwide which in turn has impacted upon the numbers of Latino youth seeking to play professional baseball in the United States. Another area that the paper touches upon is how the increasing numbers of Latino players has opened up the doors to a small, but growing number of Latino managers in the major leagues. The writer also examines the struggles that these players faced in the early days, when Latino players were fewer in number.
From the Paper
"As more Latino players move into the majors, Latino managers are making their mark, too. Felipe Alou was recently hired by the San Francisco Giants to take over the manager job vacated by Dusty Baker after the World Series. "Alou was also the fourth Latin American manager born in the Caribbean Islands, the other are Mike Gonz?lez, Preston G?mez and Cookie Rojas all from Cuba. Later Tany P?rez (Cuba)and Tony Pe?a (Dominican Republic) became the fifth and sixth respectively" (Pi-Gonz?lez). Alou was also the first Latino to manage an All-Star game in 1995."

The 2004 Republican National Presidential Convention, 2004.
This paper discusses the keynote address by Senator Zell Miller, a Democrat from Georgia, supporting the Republican Presidential candidate, George W. Bush, at the 2004 Republican National Presidential Convention.

Abstract
This paper explains that Democrat Senator Zell Miller's keynote address, supporting the Republican Presidential candidate, George W. Bush, at the 2004 Republican National Presidential Convention was a political and message crisis, an event that negatively affects a presidential campaign while skewing the Democratic party's proposed public image and message. The author points out that Miller, speaking of his family throughout the entire speech, expressed his worries for the future of America and the need for a strong leader who is not afraid to do what he thinks is right, even if that means going against most of the world. The paper relates that Miller viewed Democratic candidate John Kerry as a weak leader, who is incapable of using our military properly and efficiently, and whose strategies for solving the problems facing the country today, mainly terrorism, are lacking in aggressiveness and will not work.
From the Paper
"The message crisis will be expressed in different ways based upon the varying media sources. More liberal media and the Democratic Party will distort Sen. Miller's speech and present it as an older angry southern senator who is so conservative that his views are not that important or valid. The conservative media and the Republican Party however, will use Sen. Miller as a focal point, showing that a distinguished, experienced, knowledgeable democrat, seeing the reality of threats to our nation, and fear of the safety of his family, backs the Republican nominee, not the Democratic one."

Abstract
When Congressman J.D Hayworth of the Republican party lost his campaign to fellow-Republican Deborah Pryce, he believed that it was due to the fact that her campaign was helped by the Democrats electing another woman, Nancy Pelosi as their leader and her nomination as the first woman Speaker nominee. This paper questions whether unqualified minorities are unfairly promoted over more qualified majorities in the House Republican Party to try to promote an image of diversity. It questions too whether Pryce really more qualified to be the Republican Conference Chairman then Hayworth or others. By creating a baseline for how a member of Congress could rise into a House Leadership post, this paper examines how minority Republican and Democratic members of leadership have been elected into leadership, with a special focus on comparing Pryce and Pelosi. This analysis also proves that while minority Republicans are encouraged more often than non-minorities to run for a leadership post, a majority of the time the minorities that are elected are qualified for their posts.
From the Paper
"Hoops? guidelines can generate an effective roadmap for any Member of Congress that is interested in becoming a leader among leaders, but it can also serve as a tool of analysis. Six out of the seven Members of Congress that were examined in this thesis fit Hoops? guidelines and were or are successful leaders in the House. The only one did not fulfill these criteria, Watts, was an unscuessful leader. The elections of Nancy Pelosi as the House Democratic Minority Leader and Deborah Pryce as the House Republican Conference Chairman were not because of their gender, but because of their qualifications. Their elections may have been historic, but they were well earned, thus it can be concluded that while the House Republican Party has at times attempted to promote minorities over majorities, these minority candidates are just a qualified if not more qualified than their majority counterparts to leader. This conclusion is proven and supported by Hoops? guidelines."

The Republican Party, 2006.

Abstract
In this article, the writer looks at the history of the early Republican and Federalist parties and the birth of the Republican party. The ideologies and inspirations of the Republican party are examined. The writer describes how the Republican party tried to keep the core of moral Protestant values. Further, the writer explains that all the political ideals were built around the ideal of a moral republic - and this conceptual frame shaped the attitude towards slave owners, towards the working class problems and its protection and towards the economic development suggested path. The writer identifies in this paper the roots of the Republican doctrine.
From the Paper
"After the country became independent from the British rule and the colonial government changed into a "local" one, the political parties started to gain more and more importance in the political life, as the civic and political culture of the American people was more and more divided by the problem of slavery. Hence, to approach them chronologically, the initial period after independence was dominated by the early Republican and Federalist parties, mainly formed as a consequence of the need for an organized political life. Centred around the birth and the formation of the young republic, they were spread nationwide and had a sound organizational structure for that time. They had a strong ideological core, because of the specific circumstances of their formation (the creation of a national political arena and of a national government) and thanks to the strong opinionated leaders, who were trying to use the power of governing to shape the character of the state."

The Pre Civil War Republicans in Literature, 1995.
This study compares pre-Civil War Republicans' indictment of slavery, slaveholding society, and the South, as presented in Eric Foner's "Free Soil, Free Labor, Free Men: The Ideology of the Republican Party Before the Civil War", with Harriet Beecher Stow

From the Paper
"This study will compare and contrast the Republicans' indictment of slavery, slaveholding society, and the South, as presented in Eric Foner's "Free Soil, Free Labor, Free Men: The Ideology of the Republican Party Before the Civil War", with Harriet Beecher Stowe's indictment of the same entities in her novel "Uncle Tom's Cabin". The essential position of the study is that the Republicans' indictment is based on practical, pragmatic, and economic grounds, while Stowe's indictment is based on ethics, religion and passion.
It will be the additional argument of the study that racism, religion and "small-r" republican ideology played differing roles, with these differences in part shaped by gender contrasts. That is, Stowe's womanhood, it can be fairly argued, allowed her to consider the ethical and religious issues involved in slavery."
