Research Paper from the year 2014 in the subject Ethnology / Cultural Anthropology, language: English, abstract: This paper specifically describes the experience of settlement, immigration and urbanization in Brazil within the context of the country's overall political, economic and demographic development. It is an inquiry into various historical developments influencing structure, culture, economics and racial composition on a country level. It also examines trends in early settlement, regions, immigration divided into four distinct periods, and the trajectory of its urban transition. It is possible that the lessons learned from a country that has experienced such a compelling immigration and rapid urbanization could hold keys for other countries currently undergoing this process. It is the intention of this study to provide the basis for such an inquiry.

Seminar paper from the year 2005 in the subject Pedagogy - Science, Theory, Anthropology, printed single-sided, grade: A, California State University, East Bay (California State University, Los Angeles and Denver Institute of Urban Studies), course: Anthropology, language: English, abstract: The point of this essay is not to argue that biomedicine has become a mechanism for establishing political or cultural identity for refugees entering the U.S. Neither does it claim that modern biomedicine influences define the character and needs of immigrants. Rather, it seeks to establish that each verifies the other and it seeks to present biomedicine as a mediator of physical realities that gives nation-states justification for domination and control of immigrants and refugees. We will first trace the emergence of the "gaze" in a historical context to its formation as a classificatory concept and mechanism of power relations. Then, we will discuss the central role of cultural citizenship and its impact on the processes of immigration and assimilation.

Research Paper from the year 2011 in the subject Ethnology / Cultural Anthropology, grade: Fieldwork, Denver Institute of Urban Studies (-), language: English, abstract: ABSTRACT What follows is an attempt to examine cultural factors, not by arranging abstracted entities into unified patterns but by taking into account the cultural forms by means of which Brazilians communicate, perpetuate and develop their attitudes toward life. As a result, this paper addresses the formations of social phenomenon as it relates to religion in Brazil but within the context of people living out their daily lives. Notwithstanding, it might be said that this work is unscientific in that it contains impressions, feelings and emotions expressed in a narrative form. For the social sciences have longed ago prohibited writing in the first person in scientific reporting and the insertion of my own direct experiences would only tend to corrupt any attempt at objectivity. However, I have chosen to incorporate a reflective, dialogic approach that proclaims an appreciation of the fieldwork experience rather than conduct formal interviews in controlled settings or use second hand materials as a primary source.

Scientific Study from the year 2003 in the subject Pedagogy - Science, Theory, Anthropology, printed single-sided, grade: A, California State University, East Bay (California State University, Los Angeles), course: Medical Anthropology, language: English, abstract: This paper presents from a theoretical perspective critical analyses of the impact of the lack of health insurance on illness, suffering and death of the Asian and Pacific American population. It addresses critical concerns on the proportions of the uninsured, their demographic characteristics, population growth, disease prevalence, access to care and health outcomes. We engage in findings that illuminate the complex processes involved in disparities in insurance coverage that exist for the uninsured. We limit our discussion in terms of social policy, not so much to minimize the importance of other relevant narratives but to prevent contradiction of certain social and political contexts in which this type of research is situated.
