My paper is about some of the cultural difference in the Hispanic population in regards to healthcare. San Antonio’s Hispanic population is growing daily. As healthcare providers we need to be abreast of the cultural differences so that we can make our patient comfortable and willing to accept the healthcare needed. In doing my research for this paper I found that the most common denominator in all people is the need to feel safe and respected. I work at the Children’s Hospital of San Antonio
Cultural artifacts have been found in societies throughout history as civilizations constantly emerge, adapt, peak, and inevitably decline. The remnants of these societies often times linger long after the population fades away and have been studied by newer generations to learn about how the people of the past once lived.

I think that this how Bishop explains “The personal is political” and how you can understand oppression. This chapter also discusses
Hunter Phipps In the 1988 film, "They Live", directed by John Carpenter, the ideology is a main undertone of the movie. I will argue that this movie shows how the ideology of social norms affect's our perception of society. The movie shows wealth's power, and that people will ignore the bad things in the world for money. Ideology is the set of beliefs in a society.

As a black woman living in the 21st century, I couldn’t imagine being able to bear such pain. Although it was very overwhelming to view these senseless acts of violence, there was definitely a level of admiration and respect I gained from watching these women push through their struggles to survive.
