Marianismo is a concept in Latino cultures that places the Virgin Mary as a role model for women, emphasizing virtues such as purity, nurturing, and selflessness. It often involves subordination to male authority and a strong focus on family and community.

Question 2

_______ is a culturally appropriate intervention for young children, which is based on folk tales or stories.&#10;A) Curanderos&#10;B) Cuento therapy&#10;C) Personalismo&#10;D) Family therapy

Accepted Answer

Cuento therapy, also known as story-based therapy, is a culturally appropriate intervention for young children that is based on using folk tales or stories to address psychological distress. It is founded on the belief that stories have the power to communicate important values, morals, and behaviors, which can help children learn to cope with difficult emotions and experiences. Curanderos, personalismo, and family therapy are also culturally relevant interventions, but they do not specifically involve the use of storytelling.

Question 3

A Latino/Latina who has strong Catholic influences may be more likely to accept all of the following with the exception of _____&#10;A) View mental illness as an act of God&#10;B) Have a larger family&#10;C) See divorce as a viable option when marital problems cannot be reconciled&#10;D) Believe in the value of sacrifice and enduring wrongs

Accepted Answer

Catholicism generally discourages divorce, so a Latina/o with strong Catholic influences may view divorce as unacceptable or a last resort. The other options are more likely to be accepted, as mental illness can be seen as an act of God, large families are often valued, and sacrifice and endurance are important virtues in Catholicism.

Accepted Answer

The terms "Puertorriqueños," "Newyoricans," and "Tejanos" are all based on a person's birthplace or where they were raised. "Puertorriqueños" refers to individuals from Puerto Rico, "Newyoricans" refers to individuals from New York City with Puerto Rican heritage, and "Tejanos" refers to individuals from Texas with Mexican heritage. While language, country of origin, and immigration status may be part of these individuals' identities, they are not the primary factors that define these particular labels.

While there are certainly rural and mountainous areas where Latinos reside, the majority of the population is found in urban centers. The option for middle class areas is not necessarily incorrect, but it is not the best choice as it is not a clear and distinctive characteristic of where Latinos can be found.
