- There are many challenges that Latinas face in order to be successful in the workplace. It is important for them to have access to professional development opportunities, higher education, and mentorship. Studies show that white men have greater access than Latina women and other minorities to mentorships and support. Nearly 60% of white of men have jobs classified as administrators and managers compared to minorities and Latina women. These women are considered as disadvantaged since opportunities to progress, as well as mentorship ties across racial, ethnicity and gender gap, are so much more difficult to achieve. Therefore, promotions are less likely to be procured amongst Latinas. There are several variables that limit Latina mobility in the workplace. These challenges include the existence of stereotypes, the lack of mentorship, the lack of associations with professional activities or influence, and the lack of higher education. This study examines those challenges and the influence they have on Latinas and their future. Consequently, minorities and women’s formal education and work experience is placed under “greater scrutiny compared to those of their male counterparts” (Smith, 2016). This is referred to as contest mobility. There are disputes for promotions especially when competing for managerial and supervisory positions that women have to fight for in order to succeed.

- This study was to provide Adelante Youth Alliance (AYA) with an evaluation of their college and career conference, Adelante Mujer Latina (AML). The study had two major purposes: (1) to determine if the AML conference increases college and career awareness and aspirations among Latinas and (2) to determine if role models directly influence Latina youth’s desire to go to college. This was determined through pre and post conference surveys, asking participants their likelihood to graduate from high school, attend college, and enroll in college-prep courses. The results of this study would help identify current college and career needs of students, identify persisting gaps in unmet college and career needs, and identify strategies to improve the conference for future participants. The study was conducted on May 14, 2016, at the Adelante Mujer Latina Conference in Pasadena City College. Data for this study was collected from conference participants through pre and post conference surveys. Only students with approved assent and consent forms were allowed to participate. The sample size for this study were 250 young females, predominantly middle school students, ages 11-13. The results of the data support the view that college and career outreach conferences and role models increase the academic awareness and aspirations of minority Latina students. A Latina role model’s encouragement was a stronger influence for high school students to attend college, while family illness was a moderate influence for middle school students’ decision to attend college. Recommendations to improve the AML conference included modifications to the structure of program workshops, tracking past participants, and moving towards a program that balance the needs of both middle and high school students.

- The purpose of this study is an assessment of the community garden in the City of Rialto. There is one existing city-operated community garden in Rialto that typically has a waiting list for available plots. Rialto is interested in expanding its community garden program and approved funding for the design and development of additional garden locations. This assessment provides data to help document anticipated and unexpected effects of community garden participation and how the community is participating in the garden program. The presented findings will not only identify obstacles and successes of the community garden, but can be informative in future Rialto community gardens program decisions.

- El artfculo que se publica en el presente numero def Boletfn constituye un estudio preliminar que plantea las bases para elaborar un concepto integrado de la justicia penal internacional como sistema. El autor considera que en el ambito penal nos encontramos con tres ambitos o niveles de acci6n: el de los Estados, el de los subsistemas regionales con una cultura jurfdica relativamente comun, y el def sistema internacional global. Cada uno de estos ambitos engloba unas instituciones de autoridad publica, una practica jurisdiccional y propiamente penal y una acci6n administrativa de caracter dual: la que se refiere a la aplicaci6n de la fey y a la prevenci6n def delito y la que se dirige a la resoluci6n del mismo y la ejecuci6n de las sanciones que corresponden. Estos ambitos y estos niveles de acci6n no actuan aislados en la realidad, sino que operan con crecientes interconexiones, lo que obliga a establecer criterios de coherencia para que podamos aplicar respecto de ellos la noci6n de sistema. A partir de estas premisas y con este enfoque de busqueda de un concepto integrado de justicia penal internacional el autor estudia el entorno normativo penal del derecho internacional, examinando las cuestiones mas relevantes que se plantean en la direcci6n de lograr una justicia penal eficaz en un mundo cada ve mas interdependiente.

- Description:
- Anti-Americanism is a prevailing concern for the United States, arguably more so than it has been in the past. An evident example of this distress is the rise of anti-Western views held amongst the Russian Federation and its citizens. Though cooperative in some measures, the relationship between the United States and Russia has remained a strenuous one. It is for this reason that the thesis addresses the question of anti-American propaganda and its potential susceptibility on American and Russian citizens. In order to test this relationship, participants of both populations are asked to complete an experimental survey. Containing three images considered to be anti- American based on the content and message each image wishes to portray, the survey attempts to gather the participant’s opinions on anti-Americanism concerning U.S. foreign policy and the significance of source credibility. In response to the Russian population, participants possess a highly susceptible anti-American nature but were in fact unaffected by the anti-American images. As for the American responders, participants were critical of U.S. foreign policy but less so in comparison to their Russian counterparts. Much of this can be attributed to acknowledgement of free speech and access to information and opinions in competition with the U.S. government.

- Description:
- In 1949 the civil war in China concluded as a matter of fact with the complete control of mainland by the armies of the Communist Party, which established the People’s Republic (PRC). The nationalist army made itself strong in the island of Taiwan –a territory largely inhabited by the Hakka and Fulkien Taiwanese which had been under Japanese rule until 1945–, where it established the Republic of China. The division of China became one of the pivots of Cold War politics. During the Cold War both governments claimed to be the legitimate China. The recognition of the PRC by a majority of the international community after 1971, when it also took over the ROC’s seat in the United Nations, and the establishment of democracy in Taiwan in 1988, gave a new dimension to the conflict, as a pro-independence movement transformed the political discourse in the island and began to redefine its international claims. The PRC, which remains a one-party state, has also made a paramount principle of the one-China concept, and it threatens to use force against Taiwan if it proclaims independence. After the victory of the independence party in the Taiwanese elections of March 2000, the new government in Taipei might accordingly terminate the Republic’s official commitment to one-China. Is there a question of Taiwan in international law? Does Taiwan have a right of independence? Does the PRC government on the contrary have a right to maintain the unity of China? Can Beijing adopt any policy, including the use of force, to assert such a right (assuming it has it)? May Taipei and Beijing have other stronger international obligations than those related to their respective interests in the dispute? Is there an obligation to self-government, or to democracy, under international law, which may bind both parties to the conflict in order to achieve a just and peaceful settlement of the conflict? What are the interests and the obligations of the international community in this conflict?
