Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2009 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 1,0, Ernst Moritz Arndt University of Greifswald (Institut für Anglistik/Amerikanistik), course: Chicano/Chicana Culture and Literature in the USA, language: English, abstract: ¿Quién soy yo? or Who am I? One question is expressed in two languages. But there are numerous answers one can give. Some would say their gender and define themselves as being a man or a woman. Others would simply give their names or their religions. One could also reveal the nationality, the origin or the own social strata. There are a lot of possible answers to this question as humans perceive and identify themselves differently. But people cannot say who they are by using just one single criterion. “Of course, all of us have multiple identities. We may identify ourselves simultaneously as, for instance, woman, socialist, ecological farmer, world citizen, mother, daughter, wife, researcher, Finnish, Scandinavian, European, witch, theosopher, lover of music and plants, and so on (Fishman 54).” Having a closer look at the meaning of the word “identity” the Oxford English Dictionary gives a proper definition of the word: “identities are the characteristics, feelings or beliefs that distinguish people from others.” This definition shows that identities are not just formed by the own person. It must rather be seen in relation to other humans. The system of society prescribes certain role models humans are expected to fulfil be it on grounds of their sex, race or their economic class. This is also what the personal identity shapes. What if someone does not really know who he or she? Of course, there are some basic answers one can give like the gender or the name but in some cases it is quite hard for people to be aware of themselves. Some marginal groups do not have that feeling of belonging to either side, for example black or white. They are brown, or simply an “in-between case”. They are a mixture of both colours and still in the process of defining themselves or simply lost in it...

That question might not be answered the same as it was a generation ago. As the United States witnesses a major shift in its population—from a white majority to a country where no single group predominates—the new mix not only affects relations between ethnic groups but also influences how individuals view themselves. This book addresses the development of individual and social identity within the context of these new demographic and cultural shifts. It identifies the contemporary forces that shape group identity in order to show how Chicana/os' sense of personal identity and social identity develops and how these identities are affected by changes in social relations. The authors, both nationally recognized experts in social psychology, are concerned with the subjective definitions individuals have about the social groups with which they identify, as well as with linguistic, cultural, and social contexts. Their analysis reveals what the majority of Chicanas/os experience, using examples from music, movies, and the arts to illustrate complex concepts. In considering ¿Quién Soy? ("Who Am I?"), they discuss how individuals develop a positive sense of who they are as Chicanas/os, with an emphasis on the influence of family, schools, and community. Regarding ¿Quiénes Somos? ("Who Are We?"), they explore Chicanas/os' different group memberships that define who they are as a people, particularly reviewing the colonization history of the American Southwest to show how Chicanas/os' group identity is influenced by this history. A chapter on "Language, Culture, and Community" looks at how Chicanas/os define their social identities inside and outside their communities, whether in the classroom, neighborhood, or region. In a final chapter, the authors speculate how Chicana/o identity will change as Chicanas/os become a significant proportion of the U.S. population and as such factors as immigration, intermarriage, and improvements in social standing influence the process of identification. At the end of each chapter is an engaging exercise that reinforces its main argument and shows how psychological approaches are applicable to real life. Chicana/o Identity in a Changing U.S. Society is an unprecedented introduction to psychological issues that students can relate to and understand. It complements other titles in the Mexican American Experience series to provide a balanced view of issues that affect Mexican Americans today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En la novela, Terry sufre un accidente al ser envestido por una ambulancia, en el momento de presenciar el arresto policial de su jefe. Este es acusado injustamente de la compra de un material contaminado, que ocasiona que el hijo del presidente de la Empresa quede en estado de coma, durante diez años. En la historia se describen con detalle las características únicas de liderazgo de German, jefe del protagonista, y de otras autoridades gerenciales que son lo opuesto y ocultan intereses económicos personales, amoríos y la traición de la esposa de Terry con el presidente de la Empresa. Son picarescas y humanas las intervenciones del «otro yo» del protagonista, quien queda en un estado anímico ausente en el mundo exterior, mientras en su interior hace una revisión de su vida, realiza viajes al pasado y tiene diálogos consigo mismo… El fi nal es sorprendente e inesperado… fi nalmente el espíritu de Terry regresa a su cuerpo después de haber descubierto los responsables del delito, las infi delidades y las intrigas que se tramaban en la Empresa. Todo ello gracias a sus viajes al pasado, reuniones mentales con Roy, el presidente, y el apoyo del inusual Padre Juan, quien se convierte en su protector. Así, después de diez años, se descubre toda la verdad y se hace justicia. No obstante, el protagonista extraña profundamente a su otro yo, que no sabía que existía antes del accidente, y a quien reencuentra cuando el hijo del presidente también sale del estado de coma… quien parece tener una voz muy parecida a la de «su otro yo»…

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Si no estamos en LO QUE ES, si perdemos el tiempo en seguir los lineamientos de gente poderosa que -por siglos- nos ha dicho lo que tenemos que hacer y cómo debemos comportarnos, entonces dejamos ir las mejores oportunidades para una vida plena, llena de merecimientos; una vida en donde descubrir los misterios del universo es uno de los mayores regalos que podemos recibir. Es preciso salir del sistema, evitar los comportamientos robóticos porque estos nos alejan de los valores fundamentales e impiden a nuestro ser percibir lo que es real, no la realidad que la sociedad, los gobiernos y las religiones nos han impuesto. Los seres humanos tenemos un timón que nos mantiene alertas en el sendero correcto: la intuición. Esta no debe ser velada nunca. Su conexión con la conciencia es poderosa y jamás nos engañará. Por lo tanto, poner atención a nuestro sentimiento más profundo, que es la conexión con la Fuente, nunca nos llevará por caminos equivocados.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Se explica que para la salud humana la satisfacción de "Las Hambres Básicas" de Caricias, Tiempo y Reconocimiento es tan importante como la ingesta de alimentos, oxígeno y agua. Comprenderemos qué son las Endorfinas -la droga de salud, la alegría, el bienestar y el bienhacer. Conoceremos variadas formas de producirlas en nuestro organismo, pero ante todo la que nos proporciona las cinco ganancias más codiciadas: envejecer despacio, mantener un sistema inmunológico invencible, disponer de una gran energía, vivir alegremente, y poder superar cualquier dolor físico o corporal. Esta forma única es la práctica de las Virtudes: Prudencia, Justicia, Fortaleza, Templanza, Fe, Esperanza y Caridad. Queda demostrado que para educar a nuestros hijos en la Virtud, la receta no consiste en "hacer que ellos hagan lo que creemos que ellos deben hacer", ni mucho menos en lograr que "ellos hagan lo que los padres queremos", sino algo muy distinto: que dentro de un "Sistema Incondicional" de Caricias, Tiempo y Reconocimiento, les hagamos vivir la fuerza de nuestro Amor, para que "ellos quieran hacer habitualmente lo que conviene al Bien Común y al Bien Integral" de todos los involucrados en el proceso educativo. Para esto hace falta desarrollar un Liderazgo Transformador: sólo quien se siente amado puede ser educado. Se propone el justo medio entre los dos extremos en pugna: ni moralismo rígido, ni naturalismo hedonista o utilitario, sino del equilibrio entre esos dos extremos. Como estrategias auxiliares se plantea lo que es la Reingeniería de Valores y Virtudes, se analizan las Bases Filosóficas para Jerarquizar los Valores Operantes, Reales; y se propone la sana jerarquía de los Nueve Valores Universales, así como el rechazo de los Contravalores. El libro concluye con una explicación apasionante: ¿Quién Soy Yo? A la vez que se exponen los Fundamentos Filosóficos de la Dignidad de la Persona.
