I am going to write an essay for a scholarship and i need help listing and describing issues that impact the hispanic community.The first issue...

There are many issues, outside of immigration, that have
an impact on the Hispanic community.  Please follow the links below to explore many of
these issues.

For example, Hispanic youth face many
problems at a higher rate than do white Americans.  More than twice as many Hispanic
women than whites are mothers at age 19.  This is not necessarily a bad thing, but it
does tend to make it harder for those women to go to college, etc.  Hispanics drop out
of high school at almost three times the rate that whites do.  These sorts of issues
have a great impact on life chances in the Hispanic
community.

As another example, Hispanics have lower levels
of access to technology.  Hispanic homes are less likely than white homes to have access
to broadband internet, for example.  This may make it harder for Hispanic students to
use internet resources and to become as familiar with technology as white students
are.

Social and educational issues like these are at least
as important as the issue of immigration.
