Lessons at the Kitchen Table Review Assuming In the article “Lessons at the kitchen table,” the author is assuming that the approach of paying immigrants visits in their home, will be sustainable (Ginsberg 2007, 56-62). While the approach helps give some basic understanding of the culture, values, knowledge, and understanding of a particular group, it is not possible to maintain the procedure. The number of immigrants in American schools continues to rise. That poses a challenge to schools that are constraint with resources and more especially the staff. The teacher-student ratio could only be appropriate in disseminating knowledge in a confined school environment. The schools have strict curricula to complete.

The current pedagogies may not be appropriate to all learners. The immigrants are drawn from different…
Student’s Name Instructor’s Name Course/Unit Code Date of Submission Book Review: Under and Alone by William Queen The outlaw motorcycle gang has a unique space of disrepute that it occupies on the display shelves of American culture. Over the years, films like “the wild one” and books such as “Hells angel” have been a great help in satisfying individuals with an excellent urge for tough guys with big engines and attitudes. The gang was characterized by defiance of social norms, violence and anarchic, but surprisingly they escaped being among thig groups. The group has been grandfathered through pure rebellion and noble criminality, making it seem like the American society needed a white-hot id as a pilot light. The Outlaws where perennially facing off against the squares and we are in favour of Outlaws to win and bring a blaze of defiant glory. Individuals intending to find myths about the romantic outlaw may not see much in’ Under and Alone.’ William Queen, a federal agent with a good heart, was concerned about bursting their prey more than eulogizing over them.

Stigma Stigma is one of the major causes of exclusion and discrimination against various groups in the society. It not only disrupts the family relations in a family but also affects people’s esteems and their ability to socialize. In healthcare, stigma is one of the social determinants of access to healthcare. For people with mental health disorders, stigma is a real issue as they do not seem to get the same attention as individuals with physical ailments. For a very long time physical and mental illnesses have been treated as separate entities.
