[Usage notes]
edit
- Latinx is used as a gender-neutral alternative to Latino and Latina, including in the plural (where Latinxs can replace long phrases like Latinos and Latinas, or the use of Latinos alone to refer to mixed-gender group, which some feminists object to), by a small number of Hispanic people and others, mostly younger people, women, and non-binary people.[1][2][3][4][5] Some Hispanic people object to Latinx, considering it too English and too little used in Spanish, or disliking its gender-neutrality.[3] A 2019 poll of 508 Hispanic people found that only 2% chose the term as the one term that best described them;[6] a 2020 poll found that only 3% of US adults who identified as Hispanic or Latino also described themselves as Latinx, and only 23% had heard of Latinx (of whom 10% preferred it).[5] A 2021 poll asked Hispanic Americans about their preference among the terms Hispanic, Latino, and Latinx; 57% said it did not matter, and 4% chose Latinx; in a follow-up question about which term they lean toward, 5% chose Latinx.[7]
- Some people use Latine as an alternative, saying it is more pronounceable in Spanish.[8]

intrinsic value
[[English]]
[Noun]
editintrinsic value (countable and uncountable, plural intrinsic values)
1.the real value of something within itself, which may not take into account its market value or face value.
2.(philosophy) non-relational or non-instrumental value, or the value something has in itself, for its own sake, or as such.
3.2014, "Intrinsic Value vs. Extrinsic Value" (in Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
"Intrinsic value has traditionally been thought to lie at the heart of ethics. Philosophers use a number of terms to refer to such value. The intrinsic value of something is said to be the value that that thing has “in itself,” or “for its own sake,” or “as such,” or “in its own right.”[1]
4.1998, "Rethinking Intrinsic Value", Shelly Kagan (in The Journal of Ethics)
“Let me start then, by distinguishing two concepts of intrinsic value. On the one hand, we have the notion of the value that an object has independently of all other objects— the value that an object has in itself. Philosophers sometimes try to get at this kind of value by suggesting that it is the value that an object would have even if it were the only thing existing in the universe. Although this suggestion is not without its difficulties, it points us towards the basic idea that value of this sort must depend solely upon the intrinsic — that is, roughly, nonrelational — properties of the object…This first notion of intrinsic value should be distinguished from a second concept, that of the value that an object has “as an end.” I suppose that the familiar picture at work here goes something like this. Many objects are valued merely as a means to other objects — they are valuable solely in virtue of the fact that they will produce (or help produce) those other objects. Those things valued in this way have “instrumental” value. But what about the objects that the instrumentally valuable objects are means to? In some cases, of course, objects may possess instrumental value by virtue of being means to objects that are themselves of no more than instrumental value (as means to still other objects). But eventually — or so the thought goes — we must reach objects that are valuable as “ends” or “for their own sake.” The objects that come at the end of these chains — those that are desired (or deserved to be desired) for their own sake— have intrinsic value in the second sense of the term."[2]
