Anthropology Assignment. Four 150 words questions, and Five Definition Questions.

Instructions: Answer these by writing in a short paragraph, approximately 150 – 400 words each. Remember to cite and place quotes around words that are not your own. Your writing should be clear, concise, and thoughtful. You should be drawing from readings, lectures, films, and class discussions in order to answer these questions.

1. In the article by Bourgois why do young men feel that it is necessary to exhibit violent behavior? Why does dealing crack seem like the best opportunity for realizing the “American dream”?

2. How is violence prevented in The Interrupters—what do the interrupters say and do to prevent violent encounters? What has inspired these “violence interrupters” to do this kind of community violence intervention?

3. Drawing from lecture, The Color of Fear, and McIntosh’s article, what does it mean to experience privilege? Are the “privileged” always aware of their privilege? Can you provide an example of privilege, in terms of race, class, gender, sexuality, and ability?

4. When we say that identities are “articulated,” what does that mean? Provide an example of how identities are “articulated.”
