SOC/315 Version 4 Part I: Matrix Native American Hispanic Americans What is the group’s history
in the United States? What is the group’s
population in the United
States? What are some attitudes
and customs people of this
group may practice? Virtually all regions of the
United States were settled
by Native American
civilizations before
European settlers arrived in
the New World in the 16th
and 17th centuries. These
tribes taught the European
settlers new methods of
agriculture and were
instrumental in helping
adjust settlers to the New
World. Native Americans are
indigenous to North
America. In 2000 census
Native Americans
composed of 1.53% of the
population (Ogunwole S.
p. 2). There currently more
than 560 Indian tribes
recognized in the United
States. Traditional Native
Americans are very grouporiented, that look to
cooperate and be patient
with everyone. They value
listening, giving, and living
in harmony. Hispanics make up 15.8%
of the total United States
population, or 48.4 million
people, forming the second
largest ethnic group. Many Hispanics choose to
learn their native tongue of
Spanish to communicate
with their families. The
majority are Roman
Catholics and very
religious. Native Americans continue
to fight back against what
was removed from them,
and to ask for the promises
to be filled from long ago.
Reorganization Act of 1934
gave privileges to Indian
nations allowing them
limited sovereignty and
guaranteed them roads,
health care, and education.
Before European
immigrants traveled to
North America the Spanish
had explored, settled, and
claimed land that is now
California and Florida. 2 What is something you
admire about this group’s
people, lifestyle, or
society? I admire the Native
American history and
culture as it is passed
from generation to
generation.Their
spirituality with nature
and their ongoing
struggle to maintain their
Most Native Americans
live a very spiritual life that values is admirable. His
belief in good and evil,
is shared in all of their
respect for life around
customs and ways of life.
(animals, plants, people),
and the importance of the
spiritual world for them
is amazing. Hispanics are people
who always fight for
what they want, they
have great love for
family junction, for
Hispanic the family
comes first. I admire Multicultural Matrix and Analysis
SOC/315 Version 4 In 1844 James Polk
decided the United States
wanted to expand into the
lands Mexico owned. In
1848, the Mexicans gave
up and the land now known
as Texas, New Mexico,
Arizona, Utah, and
California became US
property.
The most recent issue
facing Hispanics is
immigration. Laws passed
in AZ and coming from
other states are targeting
Hispanics for being
possible illegal immigrants.
Tensions in the United
States are high, while our
governing parties decide
how best to address the
approximate 30 million
illegal immigrants
currently in the USA. Traditionally Hispanics are
very supportive and social
group. They live within
families that usually goes
beyond the traditional
family. The Hispanic
"family unit" includes not
only parents and children,
but also extended family.
One major event that
Hispanics celebrate is that
of the quinceañera. When a
daughter turns 15 she is
honored with a huge
coming out party. This
takes place in a mess with
what is similar to a
wedding reception held
after. The young woman
has a court of honor, wears
a large extravagant gown
and receives guests in her
honor. 3 Hispanics because we are
a people not surrenders
to adversity and struggle
for our values and
beliefs. We left our
country to find a new
future for our family,
work hard many times
harder than the other
ethnic groups, to achieve
a dream that is
sometimes difficult to
achieve without knowing
the language and being
discriminated. It is
admirable as never
surrender to his desire to
progress and live a better
life. Multicultural Matrix and Analysis
SOC/315 Version 4 African Americans Many African Americans
ancestors were enslaved
and brought to North
America against their will. African Americans make
up approximately 12.6% of
the population in the
United States. In 1865 the Thirteenth
amendment to the
Constitution prohibited
slavery, and in 1867 the
Fourteenth amendments,
guaranteed the rights of all
citizens. Even so,
segregation laws and
continued repression
restricted African New York has the highest
number of African
American residents, but
Mississippi has the largest
per capita of African
Americans in the United
States. Americans from voting or
being active citizens. In
1954 segregation in public
schools was finally deemed
unlawful. African
Americans have had an
amazing impact on the
history of the United States
such as Jackie Robinson,
Rosa Parks, Malcolm X,
and Martin Luther King, Jr. African Americans are very
family focused. Although
approximately 50% are
households headed by
woman who are single
parents. There is very high
adaptability in all roles of
families.
African American’s are
very spiritual and attending
a service at a mostly black
church is a very moving
and inspiring experience.
December 26th through
January 1st, African
Americans celebrate
Kwanzaa with a focus on
the traditional African
values of family,
community responsibility,
commerce, and selfimprovement. 4 African Americans strive
to succeed and work very
hard to prove themselves
their value. In African
history there were
constant events of
oppressive conditions
that affected the feel of
that population.
Oppression in the history
of African Americans has
caused the formation of
several stereotypes and
prejudices. It is
admirable as the African
people have risen up to
fight for their
discrimination without
forgetting their roots and
beliefs, in a country
where do not exist
discrimination, but
always been present. Multicultural Matrix and Analysis
SOC/315 Version 4 Prior to 1830 there was
very little Jewish American
Presence in the US, with
only one known Jewish
community in Charleston
South Carolina. Jewish American Between 1880 and the end
of the First World War over
2 million Jews immigrated
to the US. During World
War II many Jews
immigrated to the United
States, making the US the
largest Jewish community
in the world.
The Jewish community has
consistently dealt with hate
crimes and Anti-Semitism. Jewish Americans make up
only 2% of the United
States population, over
42% of the world’s Jewish
population is in Israel.
The Jewish population in
the United States is
shrinking because of
smaller family sizes and
intermarriage. The Jewish American
community follows their
faith and rituals very
closely. They not only
believe in their faith, but
they live it daily is their
foods, dress and
celebrations.
A couple of instrumental
ceremonies that happen in
a Jewish Americans life
are: Simchat Bat a
traditional baby naming
ceremony, Brit Milah
removes the foreskin of a
male infant, and Bar or Mat
Mitzvah to celebrate the
coming of age as early as
age 13. 5 I admire the Jewish
Americans cultural
identity that goes beyond
their religion. I admire
their adversity in an
environment that has
shunned and blamed
them. Additionally, I
admire how they wise
they are with resources
and finances to continue
to be a strong force. Multicultural Matrix and Analysis
SOC/315 Version 4 Arabs in the US have not
had a large influx, many
did immigrate during the
early 1900’s and a large
group came for safety after
the 1948 Palestine War. Muslin & Arab
Americans Most recent Arab and
Muslims are being unjustly
targeted for the attacks of
September 11, 2001.
Starting in 2008, 130 cities
in the US have started
accepting refugees from
war-torn Iraq. These
refugees are facing hate
crimes and judgment as
they try to fit into the
mostly Christian culture. Muslims make up
approximately .5% of the
United States. Of that 42%
are African American. Arab
Americans make up about .
4% of the United States
population. Muslim Americans are
very modest and faithful.
Their religion shows in
every part of their life,
from their food, to their
dress, to praying to the
Mecca five times a day.
Women wear burkas to
show modesty in public.
Arab and Muslims are very
family and community
focused, and love food in
daily life and celebrations 6 I admire Muslims and
Arab Americans, for their
devotion to their religion.
But mostly I admire
women for their strength
in a macho culture. The
Muslim women have
experienced the worst
part of the story. It may
look different from the
Western, with their
mentality, their way of
dressing, their way of
being, of seeing the
world. But she has the
right to difference and
respect. The ArabMuslim woman has the
legitimacy to claim their
rights according to their
references, to achieve
modernity according to
their identity while being
Arab or Muslim in the
Western world to
recognize or accept. This
is really admirable. Multicultural Matrix and Analysis
SOC/315 Version 4 Chinese Americans
immigrated to the United
States to find themselves
mostly part of tourism.
The Japanese Americans
dealt with discrimination
and involuntary
imprisonment during the
end of the World War II.
Chinese & Japanese Both the Chinese and
Japanese are strong
Americans
learners and contribute a
great deal to the economy
of the United States. Chinese Americans make
up about 1% of the United
States population.
In the United States census
the question asked is
Asian, so I could not find
how many Japanese are in
the US. The total Asian
population is just under 8%
and that is made up from
Chinese, Korean, Japanese,
Vietnamese and other
Asian. Both the Chinese and
Japanese Americans are
very respectful of their
ancestry and heritage.
Modern culture has so
many intermarriages had
the youth and the elders of
these two cultures at odds.
A majority of Japanese and
Chinese are Buddhist and
very peaceful people.
The Chinese celebrate the
Chinese New Year, but
only figuratively.
For the Japanese one of the
largest celebrates in the
United States is the Obon
festival in July or August,
to celebrate their ancestors
and families with folk
dance and food. 7 I admire how accepting
the Chinese and Japanese
Americans are. I have
found this is the most
accepting group of others
that I have studied.
I also find their respect
of others and the
importance of education
very admirable. Multicultural Matrix and Analysis
