Answer to Question 1

Answer: The ideal answer will include:
1. The theory of agency emphasizes the role of individual choices in shaping a person's life.
2. It is contrasted with structurism because that perspective maintains that large forces such as the economy may prevent individuals from exercising free will.
3. In the case of poverty, the perspective will focus on ways individuals work to improve their conditions and mitigate the negative effects of their circumstances

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The ideal answer will include:
1. A microculture is a distinct pattern of learned and shared behavior within a larger culture.
