I have a essay about video

This is your last assignment (worth 15 points) to watch a video and write an essay. In addition to watching the video, I will want you to use Google Earth to check on some specific landscapes in southern Mexico.

1) The video to watch is called BBC Mexico Zapatistas: Free Trade and Rebellion. It is found in the study area on mastering geography under chapter 4. It is under videos #9 on the list. It is slightly over 10 minutes long.

2) Answer the following questions in an essay format. Who are the zapatistas and where their land is located? What are they rebelling against? What is their idea of how land should be managed? In what ways do they feel they are threatened by NAFTA? How do their maize fields look different from our corn fields here in Minnesota? Which of the two is the more productive landscape as far as corn harvest? Which seems more biologically diverse? What did the government of Mexico do in response to zapatistas' demands? Who were some of the victims of this conflict?

3) Use Google Earth to look up some landscape views of the countryside around Tuxtla, the capital of Chiapas state. Comment specifically on how such landscape is similar to any rural landscape you are familiar with? How is it different from rural Minnesota? What is apparently grown in the landscape (if anything)? What do people do? Is there any evidence of communal agriculture or does it seem like a landscape dominated by a few wealthy landowners? Use at least two specific landscape photos to answer this taken from two different locations.

4) Overall, what does Zapatistas conflict illustrate for our course? Can this conflict be resolved, in your opinion, and if so, how?

There is a drop box enabled for you to submit your responses by December 10.
