In Soweto, there is dirt beside the streets and everything is brown. In Alex the dirt areas have been paved over with concrete. In Highlands North, we see way more greenery and even trees lining the streets in a way that seems very familiar to me here in America]]> 2022-11-15 16:19:47 UTC https://padlet.com/vkahla25_1_1/pkmlnouyvml6nrqf/wish/2385109383 Crime as Culture jdai251 https://padlet.com/vkahla25_1_1/pkmlnouyvml6nrqf/wish/2385109751 Almost feels like crime is their life, and crime must be turned to because of a lack of government support]]> 2022-11-15 16:19:58 UTC https://padlet.com/vkahla25_1_1/pkmlnouyvml6nrqf/wish/2385109751 It struck me in the video how comfortable Trevor can be going back and being around his family/in his old home even though his life now is so different…. bfichera https://padlet.com/vkahla25_1_1/pkmlnouyvml6nrqf/wish/2385109847 2022-11-15 16:20:02 UTC https://padlet.com/vkahla25_1_1/pkmlnouyvml6nrqf/wish/2385109847 . xlim25_2 https://padlet.com/vkahla25_1_1/pkmlnouyvml6nrqf/wish/2385112245 The most interesting part of Chapter 16 to me were the parts where Noah showed readers the self-destructive tendencies of the hood (self-destructive meaning tendencies that do not help with economic growth in areas like Alex). I especially found the obsession over having a distinction between “cheese” and “hood” to be interesting, for these labels provide a sense of secure identity but do not help with development.]]> 2022-11-15 16:21:19 UTC https://padlet.com/vkahla25_1_1/pkmlnouyvml6nrqf/wish/2385112245 A universal that struck me from the chapter was the idea of upward mobility and the systems that keep one stuck in a certain class bfichera https://padlet.com/vkahla25_1_1/pkmlnouyvml6nrqf/wish/2385114020 2022-11-15 16:22:19 UTC https://padlet.com/vkahla25_1_1/pkmlnouyvml6nrqf/wish/2385114020 bestrivenchoate https://padlet.com/vkahla25_1_1/pkmlnouyvml6nrqf/wish/2385116181 The thing that struck me the most was that trevor’s childhood isn’t even that distant from the present. When reading the novel, I had the impression that it was recounting events that happened a long time ago (oppression, discrimination, poor living qualities) but the video made me realize that everything was so real and close to the present in another part of the world.]]> 2022-11-15 16:23:30 UTC https://padlet.com/vkahla25_1_1/pkmlnouyvml6nrqf/wish/2385116181 Morality jdai251 https://padlet.com/vkahla25_1_1/pkmlnouyvml6nrqf/wish/2385116230 Dubious]]> 2022-11-15 16:23:32 UTC https://padlet.com/vkahla25_1_1/pkmlnouyvml6nrqf/wish/2385116230 I was curious what people think about the morality of certain acts vs. the legality of them bfichera https://padlet.com/vkahla25_1_1/pkmlnouyvml6nrqf/wish/2385116585 2022-11-15 16:23:44 UTC https://padlet.com/vkahla25_1_1/pkmlnouyvml6nrqf/wish/2385116585
