"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. Talking about the figures, in the Latino Regular Characters -- LRC, out of the Total Prime-Time Regular Character reveal a steady decline from 4.2% in 2002 to 4% in 2004, the absolute numbers being 27 in 2002 and 26 in 2004 respectively.

Latinos and Homosexuality, 2004.
An overview of the attitudes and stigma affecting homosexual Latinos.
1,883 words (approx. 7.5 pages), 6 sources, MLA, £ 41.95

Click here to show/hide summary
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 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."

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."

"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..."

From the Paper
"Television's effects on children are a largely debated topic. Everyone seems to have research reporting either the "negative" or "positive" effects of television on children. Every parent's worst nightmare is of raising a six-year-old TV addict. He watches TV in the morning before school. He gets home and sits down right in front of the TV. He has an extra dose after dinner to calm him down for bed. He has trouble reading and exhibits restless and combative behavior in class. Is this monster really in existence, or are the harmful effects of TV on children exaggerated? This report will discuss why TV is a very postive influence on children, and it will express how it helps them become better adjusted "social animals" by exposing them to real-life situations before they have the pain and shock of encountering them unprepared. Relevant concepts from ..."

From the Paper
"INTRODUCTION
Television is considered a powerful force in American life, whether for good or for ill, and the latter distinction has been much argued over the history of television broadcasting. One of the issues raised in recent years involves how television serves as an example in teaching gender roles to children, and this issue has become more heated as gender roles in society at large have been challenged, analyzed, and tested with the shifts in thinking and behavior that have taken place over the last two decades. It is not surprising that critics of television cannot agree on the effect of gender role presentation in the media when they cannot agree among themselves on what types of gender roles should be projected in the first place. Some theorists have simply approached the issue with the question as to whether or ..."

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."

"Interestingly, TV Guide corporation is much more than its most well known product, the TV Guide. Since the publication of McDonald?s article TV Guide has become much more diversified, and global. It operates four main business units. These are: TV Guide Television Group, TV Guide Interactive Group, TV Guide Magazine Group, and United Video Group. TV Guide markets and distributes products to over 100 million cable and satellite homes each and every week.

From the Paper
" Reality TV is one of the most popular genres in the mass media today. The viewership of these programs increases at an astonishing rate. Reality TV allows the viewer to combine both reality and fantasy in a unique blend. We know that the characters have some effects on the adults that watch. However, until now this subject has received little attention. Some of the characters on reality TV would not be considered role models a major portion of the society.
