Discussion Prompt
For this discussion, you will consider environmental decline, uneven development, and identity formation. Make sure to cite all of your sources
Cite and briefly describe one fascinating (to you) example of contemporary environmental decline you encountered in the region via the course materials (especially the course text and one of two case studies by Lisa Naughton or Erika Marín-Spiotta):
What are the key causes of the environmental degradation you described?
In which ways are uneven development visible along the 5,000 mile (8,000 km) route through South America that the two main characters of The Motorcyle Diaries pass through?
With respect to The Motorcyle Diaries as well as your own experiences to-date, does travel and engagement with different geographies and new types of people lead to value shifts and new perspectives on the taken-for-granted of life? Briefly discuss.
You do not need to include a reference list if you are just using Module 10 course materials. Just make sure to include an author or title reference in the text of your response. It can look something like this:
“In her case study, Prof. Marín-Spiotta explained that . . .”
“In the article, ‘From sleepy town . . .,’ the author described the changes that . . .”
or this:
“When Niehuis (2015) described that particular problem . . .”
“. . . and that was why such a characterization was problematic (Smith 2016).
