Abstract
This paper presents an analysis of how media representations of Asians and Hispanics in the U.S. film and television industry have become less stereotypical in light of various trends.
From the Paper
"The values, beliefs and customs of the dominant group in society are often reinforced by social institutions like the government, business, education and the media. The establishment of images in the media reinforces the values of the dominant group in American society, primarily white male Anglo-Saxon Protestants. When immigrant groups or other cultures are portrayed in the media quite often their representation is portrayed as somehow inferior to the superior portrayals of the dominant cultural group."

From the Paper
"While the reasons for emigration vary from individual to individual, citizens of many Latin American nations have considered the United States as a destination of choice over the past decades. There were profound and compelling reasons for many Hispanics wanting to leave their home countries; in the past 100 years or so, violent revolutions have affected the political framework of several countries (including Mexico, Bolivia, Cuba, and Nicaragua). In the 20th century, Cuba became a Communist state under Fidel Castro, while the Nicaraguan Revolution brought the Marxist-oriented Sandinistas to power. Peru, Bolivia, and Chile also tried a local Latin American version of socialism with little success (Cockcroft 1998). However, once they arrived in the U.S., such relative newcomers, many lacking in basic literacy skills in either English or Spanish, were assumed to be still caught up in the immigrant syndrome, or worse, to be languishing in what Oscar Lewis termed the "culture of poverty" (1965).

Abstract
This paper explains that the erroneous stereotyping and the situation of the overwhelming number of illegal aliens from Hispanic countries of origin have galvanized even more the schisms against the Hispanic population. The author points out that the language barrier is a huge problem because the Hispanic languages have several dialectic making it complex not only to learn each other's language but also to use in everyday intercourse; therefore, the whites and blacks simply ignore the problem, which drives the Hispanic even deeper into a clan type of lifestyle. The paper relates that some of the enterprising Hispanics do quickly establish retail outlets for the general population, which, because of the language barrier, are mostly patronized by other Hispanics; however, most of the products sold are American products.
From the Paper
"Hispanics account for almost 11% of the American population, numbering now over 30 million according to the U. S. Census Bureau. And, their numbers are expected to triple by the middle of the Century, accounting for nearly a quarter of America's population. These emphatic figures alone sustain the reality that the Hispanic is a consumer in America. It's a physical impossibility to sustain a population group of this massive size with products only from their native lands.
The census figures, although correctly account for the overall population of Hispanics in the United States it's what they don't say where many of the wrong impressions concerning this ethnic group as consumers in America seems to be coming from. For example, Hispanics tend to crowd into large metropolitan areas and thus create the normal overcrowding problems these areas experience."

Abstract
This paper explains that, as the largest growing minority group, it is essential that America's mental health experts identify the needs and implement programs, which will help Hispanic people gain access to mental health services and increase the likelihood that these services will be used. The author points out that the Hispanic population can experience some acculturation stress, which may result in a more difficult time seeking mental health services. The paper reveals that the main problems are associated with cultural and linguistic differences with counselors; however, Hispanics who had Hispanic, Spanish-speaking counselors were more likely to complete treatment. The paper includes several long quotations.

Problems and Limitations for Hispanics to Access Mental Health Services
Recommendations
Discussion and Conclusions
From the Paper
"Indeed, there are certain problems and limitations associated with mental health services and Hispanic access. According to Arellano (2004) the Surgeon General has reported that culture plays a significant role in administering mental health services to minority groups. The article explains that cultural factors tend to have an impact on all aspects of psychological health and illness. In addition, culture impacts how and whether individuals seek help, types of social supports and survival skills they utilize, types of help they seek, the shame attached to seeking psychological services, and, the definitions people correlate with their psychological problems."

Abstract
The thesis of the paper is that the U.S. must continue to aid Israel financially. Relying on empirical data and relevant communiques and news articles, the writer supports this thesis by providing the following arguments: Israel is a democracy under terrorist threat; Israel's security is fundamental to the region's stability; aid to Israel maintains a military balance that reduces the likelihood that nuclear weapons will be employed. Major objections are addressed.
From the Paper
"In these difficult times, it is critical that the United States government does everything in its power to disrupt terrorist activity worldwide, while maintaining or improving global stability. It is therefore vital that other countries with similar concerns and interests have adequate military capability. Israel is also a state that is currently engaged in an anti-terrorist war, fighting against guerrillas whose ideology makes them enemies with all who do not share their views, but particularly with Westerners. Notwithstanding the budding democracies of Iraq and Afghanistan, Israel is the only democratic state in the Middle East as well as America?s only reliable ally in the region. A secure Israel is essential to stability in the Middle East. Israel?s protection can be insured only if it has sufficient military power to defend itself from terrorism and offer a counterweight to the hostile states in region Considering these factors, the United States must continue to provide financial and political aid to Israel."

Abstract
This paper presents a detailed examination, written from a legal standpoint, of the treaty on the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Children. The paper concludes the U. S. is willing to intervene in other international problems, such as oil; and therefore, it should make a public statement to protect the world?s most precious commodity, children, by supporting the treaty.

Introduction
What Is It
What It Protects
What about the Legal Standpoint
Why Is Treaty Needed
Why Won't the U.S. Sign?
Reasons for Signing the Treaty
From the Paper
"While there are many political reasons that the US may refuse to sign the treaty, one of the chief causes for concern might be the establishment of an International Criminal Court. Many UN delegates support the idea of an International Criminal Court but the United States has been steadfast in its refusal to agree. An international criminal court might begin the slippery slope of descent to the power of individual nations when it comes to many issues including the treaty.If the international criminal court gains favor and power in the future it is feasible that the court could be used to enforce the treaty."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses the doctrine of multiculturalism. The writer offers an analysis of why such a doctrine is problematic. In order to examine the issue of multiculturalism, the writer uses examples from the public education systems in the U.S. and Great Britain to show the difficulties in treating all cultures as equal.
From the Paper
"Multiculturalism is defined by the Ayn Rand institute as the view that all cultures are equal. While this doctrine is often adopted in spirit if not in principle in the U.S. and Great Britain, multiculturalism is problematic as a term. For if all cultures are equal we cannot say that there is one superior way of being, one superior set of values or one superior method of educating individuals. However societies like America and Great Britain often adopt such methods values ... "

From the Paper
"The following research describes a variety of arguments used by opponents of gun control, with the underlying rationale that restrictive firearms legislation fails to stop crime. Citing the ineffectiveness of both state and federal laws--through statistical means mainly--this paper seeks to demonstrate the lack of success gun control has had in reducing crime. A short overview of present federal and state gun laws will be followed by a series of critiques of those laws. Such legislation, from the 1911 New York Sullivan Law to the Gun Control Act of 1968, usually attempts to 1) prohibit the transportation of dangerous weapons across state lines, 2) license gun owners and/or register their firearms, 3) limit the sale and manufacture of firearms, or 4) prevent certain kinds of guns from being owned. Details of studies by both private and public bodies on the effectiveness of ... "

Abstract
This paper discusses the relationship between the U.S. and Latin America, through discussion of the following case studies: Cuba and the U.S. trade embargo; Mexico and the use of U.S. branch plants (or maquiladoras); Colombia and the U.S.A. war on drugs; Brazil and the U.S. environmental standards in the rainforest; Panama Canal and U.S. actions regarding U.S. involvement; and the Chile-U.S. fair trade agreement. The paper finds that the relationship between the U.S. and Latin America is not a positive one for Latin America.
From the Paper
"The issue of Cuba has been a thorn in the side of the US since the Cuban missile crisis. Currently, the US imposes a trade embargo on Cuba, and all of its products. This, coupled with Russia?s disengagement from Cuba, has caused huge economic problems for Cuba, which is rich in natural resources, including sugar and tobacco. Without outlets for its products, Cuba is unable to maximize its profits from its natural resources, and remains a poor country. Yet, it is a country with an excellent health and education system, which is the envy of many developing (and even developed) nations: the socialist government ensures that those resources the country does have are used wisely, to the benefit of the majority of the people on the island."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that a great deal of assumptions and misconceptions surround Hispanic diversity in the U.S. The writer notes that many people of the majority think of the Latino/Hispanic cultures as a collective and homogeneous representation of diversity, and yet in reality the population of Latino/Hispanics is actually quite diverse and the only real glue that holds them together, besides majority classifications is language. The writer points out that most of the Hispanic population speak Spanish as a native language. This essay addresses the linguistic, political, social, economic, religious and familial conventions of several Hispanic populations, Mexican Americans, Puerto Ricans, Cubans and Central Americans.
Outline:
Introduction
Familial
References
From the Paper
" There are clear economic differences between these populations as well, with most subgroups reporting growth in real wages and property and increased spending, but at differing levels over time. Cuban Americans tend to be regionally successful and prosperous, even living in a relatively high level economic region. Yet, this same community also tends to send a great deal of support, where they can, home to family still living in Cuba. Additionally, the same can be said for Puerto Rican immigrants, and Central American Immigrants, but for different reasons. The Central American communities do so as a result of serious economic difficulties in their native nations, while Puerto Rican families tend to settle in America with the ultimate intention of fluidly returning to Puerto Rico. Mexican American spending, includes a small percentage of return to family in Mexico but as they remain here they are more focused on creating secure middle class lifestyles and homes."

Abstract
This paper examines how the health beliefs and practices of the Spanish American population are rich and varied. It looks at how one of the beliefs among the Spanish American population is the idea that physical or mental incapacity and illness are a result of an imbalance between the environment and the person in question. It shows how they believe that the mechanisms that may influence the human body include emotional, spiritual and social factors, as well as hormonal imbalances in women and men. It examines how Hispanic?s who believe in the theories of balance do not necessarily express these beliefs to their nurses and physicians, nor do they necessarily follow alternative medical practices which are commonplace in the U.S., such as biofeedback.
From the Paper
"There are many times when this population will seek out a doctor in a clinic or private office, and combine his services with the use of prayer, folk, herbal medicine or perhaps even share prescriptions with a friend (Zapata, 1999). It is important to know that patients may be sharing prescriptions, and advise them accordingly of the dangers. Other beliefs held within the community include family planning. Pregnancy is typically viewed as a natural process, and the chance of many young Hispanic women not seeking pre-natal care until late pregnancy is much higher for this population (de Paula, 1996). This should also be a note of concern and interest for health care practitioners."
