To complete Part I of the assignment, you need to select a fourth group considered as Hispanic/Latino from the readings in Chapters 9 and 10 of the book "Racial and Ethnic Groups" by Richard T. Schaefer. Look for information about any Hispanic/Latino group in the chapters and choose one to fill in the chart. The chart should include the following categories:
1. % Hispanic Population of the US by origin: This category requires information on the percentage of the U.S. population that belongs to the specific Hispanic/Latino group.
2. Primary areas of residence/settlement: Find out where this Hispanic/Latino group tends to reside or settle in the U.S. This could be specific cities, regions, or states.
3. Languages: Determine what languages are predominantly spoken by this group.
4. Median family income: Look for information on the average income of families from this Hispanic/Latino group.
5. % living below poverty level: Find out the percentage of people from this group that are living below the poverty level.
6. Current issues of importance: Identify any relevant political, social, or other issues that are important to this group.
For Part II, you need to review the data collected in the chart and write a summary of 150-250 words. In this summary, discuss the prominent similarities or differences among Hispanics within U.S. society. Look for commonalities or distinctions in areas such as culture, language, socioeconomic status, and political issues. Additionally, analyze how Hispanic demographics are changing in the U.S. and what political parties are doing in anticipation of a greater Hispanic political presence. Gather insights from Schaefer's book, specifically Chapter 10, page 245, to understand the strategies employed by political parties and the implications of growing Hispanic political influence. Use this information to craft a coherent and well-supported summary.
