Assimilation, ethnic pluralism, and transnationalism for immigrants Question 1 Describe the differences and similarities between assimilation, ethnic pluralism, and transnationalism for immigrants. Which do you think is the best way for immigrants to adapt to the host society, and why? Assimilation refers to the process that minority immigrant communities use to integrate into the culture and way of life of the host society. The system of cultural absorption has several advantages and disadvantages. For example, immigrants who culturally assimilate have an easy time in social acceptance and upward socio-economic mobility. However, cultural assimilation has adverse psychological consequences. The first generation of immigrants finds it difficult to detach themselves from their relatives in their country of origin. However, future generations overcome this problem and become part and parcel of the dominant culture. One of the best indicators of cultural assimilation is a language that second and third generations of immigrants learn from when they are young. Even under such circumstances, some aspects of the ethnic identity, such as food, clothing, and festivities, is not lost. However, most societies have shifted from…

Geometry Instructional Strategies For grade 3 students, I opted to use the development progression instructional strategy to introduce geometry to them. In this strategy, I was promoting independent learning (Clement & Samara, 2011), and I was also building the foundation for future mathematical understanding for the students. First, I created stepwise strategic lessons for my students. I used verbal tests on my students. I asked them to name the quadrilaterals they knew. I visualized these shapes in the student’s minds by showing them these shapes and explaining their similarities. I asked my students to mention the common attributes in the quadrilaterals. Later I gave them an assignment to draw different quadrilaterals Second, I administered tests twice per week and I identified my weak and strong students. For the keen students, I conducted two exams monthly, and for the weak ones, I administered two exams weekly to check their information retention. Third, I recorded the students’ progress graphically to identify the vulnerable students who required more instructional performance. To connect to the student’s learning needs, I included media technologies in my…

“Bread and Tulips” Student’s Name Institutional Affiliation “Bread and Tulips” Bread and Tulip rank among the best of Italian romance comedies of all time. Also known as Pane e tulipani, it is an Italian and a David Di Donatello Awards Winning movie that was directed by Silvio Soldini and co-scripted by Doriana Leondeff, in 2000. I would compare it to “isn’t it romantic’ that debuted in 2019. Intertwined with romance and comedy, Bread and Tulip take us through a kind of a fairy tale journey of a woman named Rosalba Barletta (Licia Maglietta) who finds herself in two different worlds. One of these environments was that of a materialistic housewife in her home in Pescara living with her womanizer husband Mimmo (Antonio Cantania). The other world was that of romance and support in Venice, a city she had never been to before, where she encounters an Iceland gentleman Bruno Ganz as Fernando Girasole. He would later become her lover (David, 2000). She also meets an anarchist florist Fermo (Felice Andreasi), and Grazia…
