Question 1

The Code of the Streets ELIJAH ANDERSON
-"Street" or a person's adoption of what Anderson calls the "orientation of the street" is a response to:

Accepted Answer

Anderson argues that the code of the street is a response to the high levels of violence and limited means of achievement in disadvantaged neighborhoods. The orientation of the street involves a set of informal rules that individuals adopt in order to navigate their environment and protect themselves from harm. This can include behaviors such as aggression, toughness, and a willingness to use violence to settle disputes. These behaviors may be seen as necessary for survival in a dangerous environment where traditional sources of authority and support are often absent.

Question 3

America's National Eating Disorder (from The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals) MICHAEL POLLAN
-Pollan believes that Americans spend too much time and effort:

Accepted Answer

Pollan argues that Americans have developed a national eating disorder characterized by an obsession with healthy eating and a constant search for the latest diet fads and nutrition advice. This preoccupation with what we eat has led to a culture of anxiety around food and a distrust of traditional foodways, including the industrial food system and culinary traditions passed down through generations. As a result, many Americans are turning to alternative food movements, such as organic farming and farm-to-table restaurants, as a way to reclaim their food culture and reconnect with the natural world.

Question 4

-To know and practice the code of the streets is to be:

Accepted Answer

This supports sustainable agricultural practices and reduces the carbon footprint of food production and transportation.

Question 6

America's National Eating Disorder (from The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals) MICHAEL POLLAN
-Who, according to Pollan, benefits most from what he calls "America's eating disorder"?

Accepted Answer

According to Pollan, the food industry benefits the most from America's eating disorder by taking advantage of Americans' anxieties about food to sell more and more of it.

Question 7

The Code of the Streets ELIJAH ANDERSON
-Anderson compares and contrasts "street" orientation to:

Accepted Answer

Anderson contrasts "street" orientation with "decent" orientation, which he defines as valuing education, hard work, and respect for authority. Home orientation and family orientation are not directly contrasted with street orientation in Anderson's analysis. Alienation orientation and dirt road orientation are not concepts that Anderson uses in his analysis. School orientation and work orientation might be related to decent orientation in some ways, but Anderson does not explicitly contrast these orientations with street orientation in his work.

Question 8

The Code of the Streets ELIJAH ANDERSON
-The code of the streets applies to whom?

Accepted Answer

The code of the streets, as described by Elijah Anderson in his book of the same title, applies primarily to a small portion of inner-city youth who operate within a system of values and norms that deviate from mainstream society. While police and social workers may try to address or solve urban problems, they are not necessarily subject to the same code as the youth they are working with. The code of the streets is also not applicable to anyone who wants to be successful, as success can be pursued through any number of different means and systems of values. Finally, the code of the streets is not explicitly tied to gender or relationship status, so the idea that it only applies to women (and a few men) who have lost hope of ever having a family and a home is not accurate.

Question 10

America's National Eating Disorder (from The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals) MICHAEL POLLAN
-The cultural feature absent in America, according to Pollan, is

Accepted Answer

Pollan argues that America's national eating disorder stems from a lack of traditional food culture and knowledge about how, when, and where to eat. This has led to a culture of overeating and unhealthy eating habits, with many Americans struggling with obesity, diabetes, and other health issues. While the other options touch on important issues related to food in America, they are not specifically the cultural feature that Pollan identifies as responsible for the national eating disorder.

Question 14

The Code of the Streets ELIJAH ANDERSON
-Anderson sees much of the code of the streets as an effort to:

Accepted Answer

Anderson argues that the code of the streets is primarily focused on gaining respect, particularly in the face of structural inequalities and limited opportunities for social and economic advancement in inner-city neighborhoods. While some aspects of the code may involve efforts to avoid crime or acquire material goods, these are seen as means to achieving respect rather than ends in themselves. Additionally, Anderson notes that the code of the streets often involves a rejection of mainstream values and normative standards, which can make it difficult for individuals to escape the ghetto or attain mainstream success.
