There are lots of immigrants in the Bay Area, and they are trying to settle down in the new environment with diverse society. According the 2005-2007 American Community survey, nearly one third of residents in the Bay Area region are immigrants, 54% of immigrants in Bay Area are citizens; immigrants and their children make up 42% of population in the Bay Area, of all children in region 49% have at least one immigrant parent. This status tells us that Bay Area has lots of immigrant and the second generation of the immigrant. We need to understand the process of immigrant fit in to new environment and culture, that something hidden behind the whole process of fit in. As the result, my ethnographic is about the problems that immigrants face while

I learned this mapping method from my professor Michael Levesque at HSC3720 class in CSU East Bay. The mapping includes different label that researchers are able to use different sign to indicate different meaning. The major labels include social institution, social group, human actors and nonhuman actors that having interaction, boundary object. Placing different human actors or nonhuman actors in to same interactions at same group under a same institution. Using this method, I figure out the field I have more interaction, within that sense I can focus on one field. Then I started to record more descriptive data. For finding the themes of my fieldnotes, I re-read my fieldnotes and use coding and category the coding into different condition. I re-read my fieldnotes in words, line by line and paragraph to paragraph and code the data with a short phrase. Then I sort those coding into three categories. The first category is the condition of action, interaction and consequence of the joint action. After the whole process, I found the patterns that occur throughout my data but I need to choose one theme among …show more content…
According to an author Prentice, Hidden curriculum is the thing health professional doesn’t learn from formal book, but by participating into the field and observing other professional doing things. Then they mimicked their behaviors or action, and this known as see one, do one, teach one (Prentice). Hidden curriculum under immigrants’ fit in is similar to health professionals. Immigrants participate into a new environment, and associate with different kind of people. Those people come from different background, with ethnicity different, speak different language and different culture. The data I collect about my mom buying wrong wine and try to return the wine would indicate the hidden curriculum she experienced in fit in. She participates into a new environment then communicate with other people beside family member. She learns red wine is good for health by interacting with other people and take in the idea of the red wine. While she goes to the store and want to buy a red wine, she interacts with other people who speak different language and know what kinds of wine other people usually buy. Then she buys the wine other people suggest her to buy. That her action to fit in. When she come back home, she tells the information of wine to us, so she is teaching us the information she learns from other people. In my opinion, the process of fitting in involves hidden curriculum that similar as health; see
