Why I’m writing this blog

“The unexamined life is not worth living” –Socrates

This simple collection of symbols as letters standing in relation to one another simply adding to the complexity of language and to the degrees of a multi-facet thought.  The need to communicate is the characteristic setting humans apart from all other animals, and I see myself wanting to communicate ideas and analyzes of the world I live in today. As a journalist, I want to give voice to those who find themselves deprived of rights establish by oppressive institutions. My purpose for establishing this blog is to examine the following topics:

»Analyze the health disparities of migrant people.

»Analyze the relationship established between an individual and space inhabited—home, neighborhood, city, states, and country.

»Explore the hybrid identity, culture, language, viewpoint, and development by individuals outside their country of origin.  As means for adaptation and assimilation to a life different from there parents. 

»Analyze the deconstruction of social gender binaries.

»Lastly, provide a cultural connection to new scientific research.   

As a Mexican native who immigrated to the U.S. as a child and experienced the trauma identity assimilation for survival. I’m using this blog as a way to awaken apart of my identity dormant in the process of cultural assimilation. Because many of us who thrived in this country suffer from what I call “immigrant pressure” the outcome for many of us is a disconnect to the U.S. and to our homeland. 

I apologize to all those who don’t understand the beautiful romance language of Spanish because I will write some blogs in Spanish. And for those Spanish and English speakers that don’t speak “Otomi” the language of the native people of Guanajuato, I’m sorry too because, I will also write for those of us who want to keep our native language alive.

Thank you for taking the time and reading my blog.
