...Spanish 102 Brownbag Lunch Discussion Reflection While I have only just begun my first semester studying at University of Maryland Baltimore County, I have already been exposed to numerous multi-cultural events on campus. One of the most informative was the “Brown Bag Lunch Discussion” with Speaker Luz Rivera Martinez. Going into this informal discussion I had little idea of what to expect, but once Martinez began to talk it was clear that she had come to tell the participants in the discussion about her culture and the main symbol of her people-corn. Truthfully, this topic seemed quite miniscule in severity compared to the many issues that surround Latin American cultures. But as the discussion went on, I understood corn wasn’t just a crop to be harvested to Martinez; it was the root of her existence. Martinez exemplified corn’s importance in Latin American society by describing its distinct role in every major, and minor, event. Whether the family was gathered to eat or there was a burial ceremony taking place, corn was present. This respect for corn was developed because it was a crop that built their culture and had been alive and growing, both literally and figuratively, for many decades. As a result of corn being at the society’s root of existence, it was extremely alarming to the people when the government began enforcing laws limiting their crop productions. The farmers were told they could only use a certain kind of seed that which, to be purchased, meant the people...

...prepare students for what their futures hold. Spanish is a college course that should be required in every student’s curriculum for many reasons; like the employment opportunities one can choose from are enormous; traveling to different countries can open up many abroad opportunities, and students will be able to communicate with millions of people who speak Spanish. Students will also have a better understanding of different Spanish speaking cultures. Many people do not see the enormous opportunities that learning Spanish has. Studying Spanish will help students gain an overall better knowledge of the Spanish language. Spanish speakers are a fast growing population, especially in the United States because the U.S is where the majority of Spanish speakers migrate to. The Spanish language is spoken everywhere in the United States. Young children can now learn basic phrases and can count to ten thanks to educational television such as Dora the Explorer. Understanding and speaking Spanish is extremely valuable when it comes to employment opportunities. Many corporations are giving preference to bi-lingual candidates. These potential employees become more desirable, especially in a rough job market and in a down economy. Today, most companies and corporations buy, sell, or trade their wares to global markets. Sales positions can open up a whole new market for Spanish speaking employees. In paraphrasing the article, “Spanish Language Interpreter Jobs” written by Sarah Rogers...

...Appraising Internationality in Spanish Communication Journals ´ david ferna ndez-quijada This article explores how journals published in a language other than English achieve a degree of internationality and can increase our knowledge of scientific publication patterns. This author offers a case study focused on Spanish communication journals from a sample of 1182 articles published from 2007 to 2009. The article examines three variables in this sample: the number of non-Spanish scholars, the use of languages other than Spanish, and how often non-Spanish journals are referred to. The results show that (a) these journals find it difficult to attract foreign scholars, (b) open-language policies have had a limited effect, and (c) internationality is constrained to the Spanish geolinguistic region. Keywords: internationality, local journals, Spanish scholarly journals, journal evaluation, communication sciences introduction The impact of published research is measured by means of well-established tools; one such tool is the Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI). However, in the field of communication studies — and in fact in all the social sciences — the SSCI does not take account of all the research published; this is particularly visible in cases where research is published in languages other than English. For example, in 2009, only 81 out of the 1585 articles (5.11 per cent) indexed in the Communication category of the SSCI were not written in English. In the context of these...

...History 398 Fall Semester 2011 Film Critique In the movie The Missing a woman named Maggie and her two daughters Lilly and Dot live on a plot of land, that they farm in New Mexico in 1885. Maggie is a doctor and lives with her boyfriend who helps run the farm. A stranger visits to seek treatment for a wound and it is Maggie’s estranged father. Her father left her family when she was young to be with the Indians. Maggie does not like her father and eventually makes him leave. Her eldest daughter Lilly, Dot and Maggie’s boyfriend head out on a trip the next day with the cattle. The following morning Maggie is alarmed when they do not return and sets out to find them. She discovers that her boyfriend has been killed and her daughter Dot appears wandering out of the woods. Dot tells Maggie that Indians attacked them and took the older daughter Lilly. Lilly has been kidnapped by Indians and a male witch Indian. Maggie seeks help from the local sheriff who says they don’t have the resources and Maggie has to seek her father’s help. They head off in search of Lilly trying to track down the Indians before it’s too late. In the movie Maggie plays a very head strong, independent woman, who is the head of her household. Her character was not completely accurate because I don’t believe that a woman with no husband and runs her own “healer” doctor clinic is a very realistic idea in the West. She is treated with a lot of respect by all of the men and is even treated equally. They do...

...October 15, 2015 Intermediate English Prof. Aponte Ingl. 3103-102 It’s Hard Enough Being Me The essay, “It’s hard enough being me”, by Anna Lisa Raya is about her experience when she went off to New York for college and she had to label herself as “Latina”. Anna Lisa explains that her dad was a second-generation Mexican, born and raised in Los Angeles, and her mom was born in Puerto Rico and raised in California. Raya herself was born and raised in Los Angeles in a Mexican neighborhood where she defined herself as Mexican. Only when she was with her grandmother and aunt from her mother’s side, she defined herself as Puerto Rican. When she went off to college, she had to answer what race she was and she had to pick “Latina”. She explains that it was the first time she had to think of that and put a label. She was confused because she did not have the physical aspects of a Latina, she did not know Mexico’s history or Puerto Rico’s, nor she knew how to speak Spanish. She felt like she did not have the “requirements” to be labeled as Latina but she couldn’t be labeled as an American because then she would be a “spic” (to Americans) or a “sell-out” (to Latinos). That thought bothered her until someone advised her that she had to be true to herself and not worry about what others think, and that she had to satisfy herself and not others. Raya finishes her essay by stating “Soy yo and no one else. Punto”; I am myself and no one else. That advice made her realize...

...seems to be another version of The Man of La Mancha, except the man is covered in a newspaper that is on fire. Because the book is about censorship, the choice of covering the man in newspapers that are burning makes a lot of sense to the story. Joseph Mugnaini fulfills role number one, helping the viewer see the world in new and innovative ways by taking the idea of a knight (The Man of La Mancha) and changing his armor to newspaper. This idea is like taking an old iconic character, a knight, and putting a new spin on how one should interpret his role. Perhaps the knight is on fire because he is losing his battle, just like the main character in Bradbury's novel. In 1937, Pablo Picasso painted Guernica, oil on canvas. The Republican Spanish government commissioned the mural for the 1937 World Fair in Paris. Guernica is a large mural, twenty-six feet wide and eleven feet tall, and was placed at the entrance to Spain’s pavilion. Picasso did not do any work after receiving the commission until reading of the bombing of the Basque village of Guernica, in Spain. It was that attack, perpetrated by the German Luftwaffe, which inspired him. Guernica, however, is not a complete depiction of that event. In Guernica, Picasso masterfully conveys the suffering of the Basque people and the tragedy of war. He seeks not to report on every detail of the bombing, but only to highlight the suffering by all.

...who did not speak Spanish was often made fun of. The barrios, or neighborhoods, were home to thousands of Mexican immigrants who’d come to the United Sates in hopes of better lives for their children. The chavalitos, or children, of these people were first generation American and were Chicanos, that is, American children born of full-blooded Mexican parents. I always considered myself a Chicana; I never called myself Mexican or American. To me, this was normal because I had never been around people who were different. When I left my hometown, I realized that most people outside of the Mexican-American community did not fully understand what it meant to be a Chicano or had no idea what the word meant. The word Chicano traces back to the pre-Columbian era, when Mexico was still Meshico. It stems from Meshicano, an ancient Nahuatl word used by the Aztecs meaning “native.” The natives referred to themselves as Meshicanos, and even Shicanos, thus giving birth to the term “Chicano”. The term made its appearance in America, and was used to identify children born on American soil of Mexican descent. Our forefathers came to America seeking better lives and new opportunities for their children. With them, they brought their culture: music, food, customs and traditions. The combination of this with mainstream American culture is where we Chicanos get our way of life. An example of this is Spanglish, our own language. Spanglish is a combination of Spanish and English words...

...love it there. I like living in the United States but there are many things that differ from Puerto Rico such as food, education and weather. Puerto Rico has variety of Spanish food that make you go there. Puerto Rico’s food is one of the best reasons to visit the island. It is diverse, rich, and flavorful with a combination of rice, beans, meat and fish fried. Puerto Rico cooking is somewhat similar to both Spanish and other Hispanic cuisines. It’s is a unique blend of influences. In Puerto Rico they cook rice with beans as a weekly menu. Traditional foods remind us of who we are, what we like, and those we love. In contrast the United States has variety of food from all over the world. Their food is a combination of everything because it has a lot of different people from other countries. Also, you can find Spanish food, Italian food, Mexican food, etc. The American people adopted a style of life, so they eat a lot of junk food, so there is high percentage of fast food places. In what I seemed American people tend to eat nachos, hot dogs and cheese burger instead of eating rice with beans. The style of education in Puerto Rico based in schools. In the other hand, their education comprehensive, public schools, homeschooling and private schools most of the schools has uniforms for the students. They teach Spanish and English at schools and have some privates classes for the other language. If you are attending on any school in Puerto Rico an a teacher miss the class to class you...

Wells explains the importance of consonants that they are classified according to the manner and place production. This means that some are produced with a great “friction” or “explosion”, and some are produces only sending sound through the nose (p.184). So, we have bilabial consonants, lingua-alveolar, nasal consonants, lateral and fricatives consonant. Here are few examples: Bilabial Consonants Sounds / p / -- IPA symbol.

...Answer Selected Answer: Many people have asked what was so attractive to the English, French And Spanish to bring them to the "New World". Most people underestimate this question and cite greed. In my opinion what attracted the French, Spanish, and English to the New World is not given the credit it deserves. The basics that attracted the French, Spanish, and English to the New World were economic, social, and political strategic conflict. In the light of this I will break down the issues in order to give each of them the thought that they fully deserve. Spain looked at the New World and saw an oppertunity to convert the people of the New World to Catholasisim, because of Queen Isabellas strong commitment to her faith .Other countries were more concerened with political reaches it could impliment and use to control The new country.Queen Isabella was more worried about saving the savages souls. As a result an early establishment of the Catholic religion in the New World. The results of this are still seen today in America. The Spanish did manage to "civilise" Latin America, the Spanish had no way to rule effictivly, due to the distance from the Americas to Spain. Also, the Spainish ways of ruling had no give it was black and white no grey. All major decisions were made by Spain so when officals wrote for advice it took months to get a response, and the conflict was already over. Frances main goal in going to the "New World" was incorporation. The French didn't merely...
