I don’t understand this Writing question and need help to study.

Vasconcelos’ vision of Latin America as the birthplace of a new (5th)  race that was destined for greatness seems a far cry from the events of  the 1500s. The arrival of the Spaniards brought exploitation and misery  to the populations of the natives residing in the Spanish controlled  areas of the New World.
The arrival of the Spanish and the  subsequent mixing of bloodlines with those of the natives would soon  create a new sub-culture of mixed race people known as  “Mestizos”(Mixed). As time goes on, this new sub-class, small at first,  will come to form the dominant cultural force in Latin America. 
The question is this…
How  did they get from European invaders/colonizers and natives… to a land  of “Mestizos?” How do we arrive some 400 years later to a point where  intellectual culture not only identifies itself with a brand new race,  but also comes to envision itself as superior and destined for  greatness?
Directions: Read pages 4-11 of the Vasconcelos essay “”The Cosmic Race” and watch the video “I am a Mestizo.” 
Question 1
What is your initial impression of this document? Is it racist or progressive? Is it both? Is it neither? Explain.
Question 2
Consider the following quote from Vasconcelos
“The white race has brought the world to a state in which all human types and cultures
will be able to fuse with each other. The civilization developed and organized in
our times by the whites has set the moral and material basis for the union of all
men into a fifth universal race, the fruit of all the previous ones and amelioration
of everything past.”
This  excerpt is considered controversial by many western scholars. The claim  is that this essentially creates a justification for Imperialism. 
In your opinion, does this quote constitute a justification of imperialism? Why or why not?
Question 3
Choose  one quote which you found to be the most impactful, for good or bad.  Explain why you chose this quote. What was  interesting/shocking/right/wrong about it?
Question 4
In the video “I am a Mestizo”, identify one remnant or parallel between Vasconcelos’ ideas about race and those of the speaker.
Question 5
Salvador  Acevedo’s notion of being mixed race (Mestizo), and thus existing in  multiple cultures simultaneously, seems quite distinct to how the people  of the United States view themselves. But that’s just my opinion, what  about you? 
Do you find this viewpoint significantly distinct to  how the people think about themselves in the United States? How is Mr.  Acevedo’s view different? Or is it similar?

Discussion Board, due Friday 
Review your response to Module 1 Discussion.  What strategies do you believe may be most effective in further addressing, preventing, or reducing this health issue?
Responses will be assessed based on application of population health principles, clarity, and use of scholarly resources.
——————–
Final. Due Sundy  . 40 points 
Coronavirus disease (Covid 19) is a disease that over the last year has greatly impacted the way the world views and handles prevention in terms of health. From mandatory curfews, to face mask to complete shutdowns of various cities and countries, we saw the world globally handle Covid 19 unlike any other communicable disease before. Covid 19 put population health prevention front and center and the world we live in has changed forever. For your the final please apply the major concepts of population health that we have covered over the last several weeks to Covid 19. 
Your paper should give background to the disease and answer the five questions below: Each question will be worth 5 points.
1) Who are at risk groups? (Give data to support)
2) What type of study would you use to further investigate this problem?
3) Using population health models or theories, suggest potential interventions.
4) Using population health models or theories, suggest potential prevention practices.
5) What are the main barriers to effective solutions?

Final project, due Sunday 35 points 
Students will complete a technical report on a major health issue from the population health perspective. This project
Background of the problem- Review of the literature (should include 10-12 scholarly resources)
Pathophysiology (should include 3-4 scholarly resources)
Application of one major health model or theory
Descriptive epidemiology (persons, place, time and major risk factors) from original source of data
Best practices in disease control (Surveillance measures)
Best practices in disease prevention (evidence-based programs)
Suggestions for future research
Suggestions for future practice
List of references
The final project allows the students to demonstrate application of public health theory to professional practice and ability to write grants and reports using the language and style of health education.  Major projects will be marked based on clarity, accuracy, ability to analyze, and ability to critically evaluate, and draw conclusions from regional, national and global health data.
