Assignment #4 The future of food – Recipe Outcomes consists of 600 to 800 words long written reflection on the outcomes of making the recipe, the waste management implicated in it, the use of resources, and the access to markets or local food networks where you consider and effectively use class concepts displayed on the weeks’ readings to explain the importance of these considerations to you, your family and community, and the future of food like the chosen dish to your culture and society. Each week has a reading from where the concepts you will use can be retrieved. The use of class material and readings is mandatory. The use of other academic sources is accepted and encouraged. I am looking for you to demonstrate pertinent and appropriate use of the key concepts we use in our field of research of food and eating in sociology.
The fourth assignment will require you to be able to develop claims and counterclaims fairly and thoroughly, supplying the most relevant textual evidence (use of the key concepts) while pointing out their strengths and limitations of them in a manner that will show me your mastery of the topic.
To complete assignment #4, you must create a reflection on the future of food based on the recipe outcomes – that will consider waste management, use of resources, connections with local markets, and accessibility for the future of the recipe itself and the food system as a whole.
Assignment #4 consists of:
a) A short description of the recipe outcomes, taste, presentation, waste, and difficulty in the making of the dish (3%)
b) An analysis of such outcomes and considerations. This is the most important part of your assignment (7%)
Please consider these recommendations when writing your journal entries:
1. The basic goal is to think about how the concepts, principles, theories, and research findings discussed are manifested in your life. Think about what happened to you in the last week or so.
2. You may also use previous experiences (e.g., high school), decisions you’ve made, newspapers, novels, movies, comics, advertisements, television programs, and the like to inform your analysis.
3. Break the assignment into two sections: description of the recipe and the analysis of which sociological concepts or principles from the readings are useful to explain the outcomes and impacts of the making of the recipe as an example of the food system where you, your family and community participates.
4. Your assignment must fulfill these criteria: accuracy (how correctly you use concepts and principles), diversity (use of different concepts and principles), thoroughness (how complete the analysis is), and originality (creativity).
