In addition, the city, where she currently live right now in West Oakland, do not have enough stores to provide groceries and livestock for the city.

    Summary Of The Job Ghetto By Katherine Newman

    Writing Reflection #4 In Katherine Newman’s The Job Ghetto, she speaks on the reality many Americans face when seeking employment in this country. One of the most obvious Conservative talking points is to “pick yourself up by your bootstraps” and try to find yourself a job and that the market is not stagnant or difficult right now for those with only high school diplomas. One of the things that I appreciate that Newman shows in her article is that the fast-food industry has been growing over the last few years, from McDonald’s to Burger King to many others, and has shown very little to the more than 2.3 million people that work under their company.…

    Everett Family Farm Research Paper

    To me, Everett Family Farms and Love Apple Farm are distinctly different. Everett is bigger and feels more "commercialized" while Love Apple is small but lovely. If I'm to compare these two to the farms we know, I'd say Everett is similar to CASFS but Love Apple is more like Chadwick garden. Everett is an organic farm. In Everett Family Farms, there were many crops we are familiar with, such as garlics, onions and strawberries. On the pricing board of the farm stand, it also shows that the farms have carrots, spinach, lettuce, kale, and chard. They also raise chickens in the farm and sell eggs, which I believe are pasture-raised. The farm manager, Emily, showed us around the beautiful farm to have a good at the cherry blossom intercropping,…

    summary of the worker next door

    Barry R. Chiswick, the head of the economics department at the University of Illinois at Chicago, holds a Ph.D. in economics from Columbia University. In his essay, “The Worker Next Door,” published in the New York Times in June 2006, Chiswick addresses the topic of immigrants and low-skilled foreign workers and argues that it’s better to reduce the numbers of low-skilled foreign workers to bring more benefits back to American people and society. Chiswick lists many problems that immigrants cause to American society, and he also provides several questionable reasons why if the flow of illegal immigrants were deterred, jobs would still be filled, and life would go one as usual, even better.…

    Summary Of Peter Hessler's 'River Town'

    According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, culture is defined as “the integrated pattern of human knowledge, belief and behavior that depends upon the capacity for learning and transmitting knowledge to succeeding generations.” Culture is an aspect all groups of humans have and even though it is an aspect our species shares, the supposed differences make it seem like we are of different species! Culture is something that both connects and separates us. Culture is something distinct enough to create barriers among us, such as: linguistic barriers and behavioral barriers. And this is especially seen…

    Summary Of The Strangers That Came To Town

    To judge a book by its cover is to form an opinion before you even dare to open the book and discover what’s inside. In society, it’s very common that people are quick to make a judgment about someone based solely on what they see. In his short story, The Strangers that Came to Town, Ambrose Flack is showing that true freedom is about being accepted. This is shown by the transformation of Andy's perspective on the Duvitches, the judgments made by the locals about the Duvitches, and how Andy's family forever changed how the Duvitches were treated on Syringa street.…

    The Farmer's Wife Analysis

    The ultimate purpose of this chapter is to discern the experience of motherhood, the leap from domesticity to creativity and writing the body parts in poems such as “Unknown Girl in the Maternity Ward”, “The Double Image”, “Her Kind”, “the Division of Parts”, “the Exorcists”, and “the Farmer’s Wife”. The maternal experience, along with the exaltation of the female body, is at the heart of the analysis of a number of poems. Sexton’s poems reveal the quest for the female identity through motherhood and writing the body parts which do converge with the construction of the body of words. They are produced to mark the female awakening: women are no longer submissive. A woman is able to transcend the atrocities of the male dominance by moving from a housewife to a poet and transcending the confinement…

    Urban LIfe (Gmelch, Kemper, Zenner) ch 1

    What’s the difference between Anthropology and other Social Sciences (Sociology, Economics, PoliSci)? It seems that sociology started as contemporary and anthropology as historical. And Urban Anthropology focused more on Latin America, Africa, Asia (in far-far-away lands) where as sociology stated in the technologically advanced Europe and N America (close to “home”). Urban anthropology deals with urbanization (adjustment of outsiders to city life) and sociology with urbanism (what city life is like for those already there). And Anthropology relies on first hand personal data, not on comparative stats.…
