African-Americans In The News From Some Of Term Paper

African-Americans in the News From some of the articles that I have studied, it seems that many articles on the African-American community focus on their problems, on analyzing them and on suggesting possible solutions by which the community can improve its condition.

One of these articles, for example, addresses the problem of HIV / AIDS as it is reflected in the African-American community, suggesting that the best solution may actually revolve around taking responsibilities rather than pointing fingers to the people who are to blame. Taken from the Philadelphia Inquirer and quoting directors from the Black AIDS Institute, the article is keen to point out that "in 2005, AIDS in America is mostly a black disease"

. However, even more worrisome is the perception existing at the community level according to which HIV / AIDS was a white manmade disease, specially created to eradicate and/or control the community. In this sense, the article is portraying beliefs and thoughts at community level on a specific subject: AIDS.

In the same note is an article referring to social security and how the African-American community can benefit from it. The article is scientific, with clear argumentation and a summary of the current situation in terms of social security. Much more ample, it helps show how the market works and what the options are.

Asians in the news

It would not be an exaggeration to assert that the Asian community often appears to...

...

There are several reasons for this.
First of all, the Asian community suffers from less obvious problems that their Hispanic and African-American counterparts. The Asian communities (Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, etc.) have strong inbounds and correlations and generally prefer to solve their problems inside the community rather than project it in the outside world. This refers not only to financial problems, although the Asian communities are renowned for the help they offer the members when in need, but also to contractual, judicial or personal problems.

Second of all, in many ways, they are still deemed to be the quiet and less "noisy" community of the United States. Because they are not musical innovators or less adapted to the realities of the 21st century culture (including music styles), they are less in the first plane.

News reflecting the Asian community sometimes focus on traditions and cultural events that the community is organizing and how it reverberates on the entire city. An example in this sense is the Chinese New Year.

On the other hand, we should not forget news referring to the Chinese mafia and related crimes, as well as the cultural ties between the Asian community and the place of origin.

Hispanics in the news

According to a study published by the Pew Hispanic Center in Washington

, the Hispanic community is "hugely underserved"

by the media in terms…

African-American Heritage & the Amish African-American people traditionally have different communication patterns and family roles than their white counterparts. They are more likely to have families headed by single parents (usually single mothers) and they are also more likely to have poor communication skills and not express their deepest feelings so that they can get help for the family problems they are facing (Franklin & Moss, 2001). Unemployment and underemployment runs

African-American Art
PAGES 5 WORDS 1476

African-American Art The art of African-Americans became a powerful medium for social and self-expression. Visual arts including sculpture carried with it political implications related to colonialism, oppression, and liberation. Along with other forms of creative expression, African-American visual arts particularly flourished during the Harlem Renaissance. Three exemplary pieces of art that represent the character, tone, and tenor of African-American art during the Harlem Renaissance include Meta Warrick Fuller's "Ethiopia Awakening," Palmer

African-American Studies Harlem Renaissance The Harlem Renaissance is a cultural movement that began during the second decade of the 20th century, also known as the "New Negro Movement." The Harlem Renaissance came about as a result of a series of changes in American society during the time. One major turning point during this period of American history was the significant changes in the American population. Reconstruction was over; the country began its

To quote such examples are those that described arguments between former masters and freedmen over the rights to the labor power of family members or between husbands and wives in broken marriages. They however, did not evidently support his argument that kinship was redefined in the process (James, History Services). Sometimes, his analyses appeared to conflate "family" and "household" in a more incomprehensible manner rather than illumination. This might be
