Question

Introduction

This week we will write about case studies of social movements in LAC. Keeping in mind all the different types of social movements discussed in the lecture this week, do some research and find a social movement in LAC that interests you.

After you select a case study, spend about 30 minutes trying to find out all you can about that social movement (be conscious of sources; some are more credible than others). You are required to make at least three written posts this week. First, respond to the Question Prompt. Second, respond to at least two classmates.

Question Prompt

Write a discussion post that describes the case study:

1. Where is it centered?
2. Who are the key actors?
3. What are the goals of the movement?
4. What activities do they use to achieve their goals?
5. How does it resemble or differ from those we looked at in class?

Now spend some time reflecting – How does this case study connect with what we've learned in class about political, economic, and social systems in the region? (Be sure to reference specific course material).
