Today, we examined Cuba and Argentina in relation to their history, political structure, violations against their people and current situation. This was an inquiry based activity that ties to chapter 10. If you were not here, go online and find out the following:
Types of government over the years (and what they are now)
standard of living
Cuba: U.S. reaction to revolution and why as well as why there is a U.S. military base there
Argentina: What atrocity was committed under a military regime in 1976? How were people affected by this (particularly some 500 children)?
The goal is to have you come to an understanding of why a country might prefer to move to a different type of government (whether for greater safety and security or for independence).
Make sure you read chapter 11 for Monday and make notes.
