Show moreThe Cuban Embargo has restricted economic, cultural and diplomatic ties between the United States and Cuba for 53 years. On December 17th, 2014, President Obama made a televised-speech on “normalizing relationship with Cuba,” instead of continuing an “outdated approach [that] has failed to advance our interests.” This study will examine and analyze the attitudes of Hispanics living in the United States’ towards the lifting of the Cuban Embargo. We are interested on the Hispanic population because they represent one of the largest and fastest-growing minority groups in the United States. We conducted telephone and online surveys of 500 Hispanics around the country. Our findings indicate that Hispanics have statistically significant different perspectives on lifting the Embargo, expanding trade and reestablishing diplomatic relations depending on their age, gender and other socio-demographic factors.

Show moreSocial media sites are becoming one of the biggest sources of information in the world. Particularly, political and economic news is being communicated widely on social media in real time with no costs incurred. The purpose of our research is to examine Hispanics reliance on social media for political information in the United States. Our results show that the majority of younger Hispanic voters rely on social media for their political news. In fact, over 84 percent of those who are between 18 and 34 years old are more likely to get their information from social media than any other source. Furthermore, our findings indicate that the younger Hispanic population are the most likely to find the political news on the internet trustworthy. If political campaigns want to target Hispanics, a rapidly growing demographic, they should move their attention towards social media as a major platform for their political campaigns.
