Cesar Chavez's endeavors starting in the mid-'60s in Central California to unionize cultivate laborers were sensationalized by Luis Valdez's Teatro Campesino- - an organization that was established in 1965 and motivated incalculable Chicano theater bunches, which utilized the phase to investigate other political issues, including the Vietnam War, work separation and migration approaches.

    The rhetorical mode of definition would be bold yet effective to use. If the writer had stated something like: Chicano Culture- It is the way we live. It is our "behaviors, beliefs, values, and symbols" (https://www.tamu.edu/faculty/choudhury/culture.html). It is not something that needs to be accepted by those who oppose it. It is permanent and forever changing among all groups of people. This would give the reader a quick conclusion of the three excerpts.…

    Feminism is defined as, "the advocacy of women's rights on the grounds of political, social, and economic equality to men" yet all around women seem to be taking a step back from such "progress" they have so called "fought" for. Not only as a traditional Chicano male but as a Christian I believe that there are certain things a woman must and mustn't do. Feminists want to be seen equal as a man but can't live up to what they claim. If a woman wants to be seen equal as a man why must she use her sexual appeal to gain what she wants? Last time I checked that is NOT an act of feminism. Why must women complain about certain things men do? If a woman believes that she, "can do whatever a man can do perhaps even better" she has no reason to complain.…

The people in the immigrant latino community see the good in others who help them and they think its right to ride the train and take from others who aid them. This might not be the case with the people who manage the train and in a sense are basically giving free rides to people. Furthermore sometimes the cargo in their freight trains is mistreated and broken, such as chains used to protect the doors to the box cars. They see hygiene very important and necessary to maintain even in the state that they are in, bathing in safe zones or in lakes they fulfill. They believe…
