Shared Values
My audience's shared values are that of strong spiritual faith and the dedication to family yet are independently driven. They also pride themselves on hard work and determination.
Political Issues
The political issues that are important to my audience are economic opportunity, education, immigration, health care, civil rights, poverty, foreign policy, and faith. 6.9 percent of Latinos are without a job. Many latino worker are in low-paying jobs and many latinos have a hard time moving up to better paying jobs. There is a gap in schools throughout America. Dropout rates for Latino-American are significantly higher than white Americans and the average debt for Latino leaving college is $11,500. 500,000 people enter the United States from Mexico illegally each year. The immigration bureaucracy is burdened with applicants and therefore it takes many years for people to receive the opportunity to become a citizen. Currently one in three Latinos do not have health care. Out of all the ethnic groups living in America, Hispanics have the lowest median wage and injustice within the criminal justice system among Hispanics is prevalent. Twenty two percent of Latino American are poor. The aspect of foreign born citizens factor more within the Latino community than in other ethnic communities.
Cultural References
It is important to know that there are many different cultural groups that make up the latino community. This stems from the multitude of Latin countries that comprise South America and North America.
Graphic Landscape
The majority of the Latino community makes around $30,000 a year. They reside in urban environments or suburb communities on the outskirts of the city. The latino family is often large and the hierarchy within the family as well as elder respect is of high value and importance. The young latino community is interested in communication devices and tools, such as cell phones and texting, facebook, pop culture, appearance, jewelry, music, and their community of friends and family.
Why aren't they voting?
They are too busy, there was a voting registration problem, they were ill or not feeling well, or they were not interested and felt like this decision was not important to their life. :(
