Abstract

Hispanic/Latino and Jehovah Witnesses are both discriminated against for different reasons. In this essay I will go into more depth on why they are discriminated against..

Racial and Ethnic Diversity

In this essay that I am writing, I will be writing about the Jehovah Witness religion and Hispanic/Latino race. I will be telling you how they are different from other religions/races. I will also be telling you about the Mormons beliefs and practices. Also I will tell you how they are discriminated against.

Religious Groups

Jehovah witnesses are Christians who believe that the bible is God’s word and that Jesus is their savior. They believe in one supreme God. By supreme God I mean a spirit that has a body, but not a human body. Jesus is believed to be the Lord and Savior, but like Christians believe that Jesus is a part of God, Jehovah witnesses do not. They also do not believe in the trinity (the father, son and Holy Spirit), in which the Catholics do believe in the trinity. Because Jehovah witnesses do not believe that Jesus is god, and since they do not worship false gods, they pray to god rather than Jesus. They also believe that all other religions are false. They believe that all governments will be destroyed, as a result they do not vote, or practice anything patriotic. They do not celebrate any holidays, or birthdays. They very rarely celebrate thanksgiving, because they believe that to be a Pagan holiday. (wisegeek, 2012). They are often trying to get other people to join their religion. Constantly they are going door to door trying to get other people to join their religion. They do get discriminated against, because they do not believe in war,

    Huntington The Hispanic Challenge Summary

    The manner in which an immigrant is described largely depends upon the time period and the national origin of said immigrant. The manner in which Latinx populations are characterized can be described as “The Latino Threat.” The Latino threat narrative asserts that Latinx immigrants are a threat to American culture, creed, and identity. This narrative claims that this threat stems from non-assimilation into the existing American culture (Chavez, 24).…

    Harvest of Empire

    The majoring groups of Latinos living in the United States. Each of the following groups is described in this section: Puerto Ricans, Mexicans, Cubans, Dominicans, Central Americans, and Columbians and Panamanians share a chapter. Within the chapter, Gonzalez writes about individuals or families in order to reflect the general migration story of the larger groups. Thus, these individual portrayals serve as representations of the larger collection of immigrants. In the third section Gonzalez discusses several topics relating to Hispanics living in the United States. The topics include politics, immigration, language and culture, free trade, and the state of Puerto Rico. His theory is that different societies exist as a result of the historical antecedents to our modern society. In the immigrant descriptions help to personalize each of the different groups and allow the reader to identify with their stories. Also, Gonzalez stresses the important differences between each of the various Latino immigrant groups in the United States. Gonzalez combines much historical research with personal interviews he has conducted of various immigrant families. Gonzalez raises several issues concerning Hispanics living in the United States that are timely. He also asserts changes and believes that are essential to ensure Latino prosperity and assimilation in the United States. The changes he suggests are thought provoking and stimulating. Although the book has much strength, it also has limitations. The most obvious limitation of the section is its brevity. Gonzalez attempts to summarize more than 500 years of history in less than eighty pages. As a result, much of the history described is generalized and collapsed into short, summary statements. This book is well suited for those wishing to learn more about Hispanics in the United States.…

However, anti-Semitism had arisen in the United States. There were openly anti-Semitism organizations and violent acts toward the Jewish Americans.…
