Online Discussion #5

I’m studying for my History class and need an explanation.

Online Discussion 5/ Directions: Please use your textbook to answer both discussion questions. You are required to solely use your textbook, Chapter 7 (Neocolonialism), in addition to the documents form Scan A (found in Pages) to answer the questions. No other outside sources are required. The more details and analysis you use to write your responses, the more points you will likely get. With this assignment, to get maximum points you will be required to incorporate references to the documents from Scan A. You are graded on the originality of your response, the depth you address from the readings, and critical thinking you bring to the discussion. Be sure responses are in your own words, and your own work.

Do not forget:

Please include at least 3 key terms from the chapter to answer the questions. If you are going to reference the documents from Scan A, please do them as so (Doña Barbara 213,Santa 207, Blackstuff 211, etc.) As usual,be sure italicize, underline, and put your key terms in bold. Originality is important, and I implore you not to copy the text verbatim from the text. If you do, please be sure to cite the source and page number from the textbook. Please have a look at the Online Discussion Sample I shared in Pages.Your response should be at least 300-400 words (it’s okay to go over the word limit). Please remember to have a look at the Online Discussion sample as how to cite your work. Responses with NO citation/references to the textbook will get a zero for that assignment.

The Questions:

Discuss some of the ways European countries and the U.S. helped define Latin America’s neocolonial experience? There are several examples throughout the chapter that you could address. In addition, looking at the documents provided in Scan A, there is a high point of literary cultural consciousness and identity throughout Latin America that seems to be a response in some ways to the neocolonial experience. What are some ways that you could discuss and contrast the issues that the authors/excerpts are discussing to what was happening at both the U.S. and European continents.
