Assignment One

I found this LATimes news story to be very concerning. Read the article (link attached, click the "Assignment One" title above to access linked article) and react. Answer the three following prompts to guide your responses. Your response should be posted no later than Thursday Aug. 21 11:59pm.

Prompts:

1) What aspects of Mexico's culture do you find interesting or disturbing for that matter here in the article? Write at least one follow-up question that came to mind about Mexico's culture while reading the article.

2) For me, the most disturbing aspect of the tragedy in Mexico is the possible involvement of Mexican Federal Police. What does this do for your view of Mexico as a whole? Would you go, or have you ever been to Mexico? Why or why not? If you have been, talk about your experience.

3) Put yourself in the shoes of a Mexico City resident. Does a situation like this cause you to live your life in fear? Compare the feeling they may have to say, the few weeks following the attacks on 9/11.
