Online Discussion: Chapter 6/Progress

Due: May 5, 2019 at 8:00 PM

We will be taking a journalistic approach for Online Discussion 4. For Chapter 6, assume the role of a journalist, or someone else writing a letter of the time covering national (and global) events throughout Latin America. From your perspective, you will be witness to a major event, theme, or historical figure(s), or multiple. Since the chapter is titled Progress, how do you as a journalist interpret this phenomenon. You are expected to discuss cultural changes and shifts happening throughout Latin America. Have they changed based on the information from the previous chapters. How are notable people in history identifying with country, race, gender, identity, etc. You will be graded on the amount of details and the quality of the writing that corresponds to answering the questions. Please be sure to incorporate at least 3 key terms from the chapter in your online discussion/Journal entry. Questions to keep in mind as you write from a journalistic, perspective: Who are you and what paper would you write for? Why are you writing this piece? Male or female? This Online Discussions allows you to get creative, while at the same time answering the questions below, including your own insight, and engaging with the chapter and powerpoint. Continue to cite throughout your reporting as you have done previously (Chasteen 36).

Questions:

The title of the chapter is “Progress, “what do you think this entails? Progress for whom and why? Also, your response does not (should not) have to include solely people and ideas they champion. Think beyond that. What other important manifestations are transforming the Latin American landscape.
