Current Affairs

Nissan is a very good program because it gives the opportunity for young latino kids to follow their dreams in becoming professional soccer players. I know because any kid that likes soccer a lot would like to be a famous soccer player, because I like soccer a lot and I want to be a pro too. I have friends that also want to be pros. So it's good that Nissan gives the chance for kids to dream.

Nissan is holding a historical event called the “Grand Finale” (El Juego Supremo) to get with both illegal and Chicano youth that love soccer. Nissan is a major sponsor for (El Juego Supremo) scheduled to be on a Hispanic channel called Univision. It is expected to be 10 Mexican rookie teens and 10 other Americas to try to earn a chance to be trained by some of Mexico’s greatest legend. Every a rookie is eliminated. The finale will be 5 lucky Hispanic along the side of these Mexican idols.

Also Nissan being a big sponsor for a long time in El Reto Final and Nissan Copa Sudamericana have given young Hispanic youth the hope not to give up your dreams. There was The Chicano Movement that was passed because of very well known people such as Ceasar Chavez, Dolores Huerta, Corky Gonzales, and Reies Lopez Tijerina. National leaders saw that these people would to the extreme to help out there fellow Paisas. A college teacher orginized his students and told them that Los Angeles High School had a really big walkout and go to protest peacefully. What these people did to go and protest peacefully really got the point across because when you protest violently you don't accomplish anything and this is what leaders saw and gave rights to the hispanic race.

When you protest it has a negative impact and positive impact as well because the positive is that leaders listen to your opinion and see as brave people fighting for rights, and the negative impact could be when kids walkout of school it gives a really big blow to all the school system. In 1999 Chicanos and Chicanas were still struggling to get a higher education, so it's almost 40 years already and hispanics still have a hard time.

In the U.S. many Mexican-American teachers have been arrested for acts that are not even violent and police say that these teachers were teaching wrong material to young kids. Really teachers are teaching kids how defend their rights and not let no one control you because when you protest police try to stop it, but it's our right to protest in a peaceful way. In my opinion the U.S. is the most controversial country in the world because The united States is supposed to be the world super power and it is a dream land because of all the freedom you have compared to other countries. Still today the U.S. has a lot to improve on because the nation's leaders are trying to get out all the illegal immigrants, but they don't know how, they don't know how to deal with this situation and we are one of the worlds most important countries.
