I think that this is interestingly written and an interesting comparison between your own experiences in Singapore and the Naluwan grandma. What do you think can be applied to your final piece of work from this fieldnote?

COMMUNITY WALKING
The chapters' main idea is supported by the use of statistics, historical analysis, and personal anecdotes of immigrants going through the system.
- The literature quotes figures from the Seine-Saint-Denis department. They have collected data that corresponds to the different time periods of ideals and legislation on the immigration policy.
- This discusses the difference in ideals between the time periods over time. It discusses the change from approximately 1974 where the assumption that immigrants were only wanted if they were able to be an active producing member of the workforce to the 90s where compassion was more prevalent.
