Questions: How does Puerto Rico's status as a colony shape its own domestic policy? What do the authors say or think? How does this connect to events we have seen on the news about how the island has been impacted by natural disasters recently?

Grading:

Full points for three complete paragraphs and a quote from this week's readings.

Half Points for two full paragraphs or three paragraphs but no quotes.

No points if you do your post on the videos or music and or do not have at least two full paragraphs.

Guidelines:

• Do not use any racist, homophobic, or misogynistic terms in your post, even though much of the printed text, videos, and movie clips will contain these terms. It is important that we create a community of respect for each other. This will not be tolerated.
• Keep our post to only three paragraphs. It is easy to expand on these topics but try to stick to one point that stood out most to you.
• You can post on one article or on the entire week's theme of readings.
• Do not post on the videos!
• In your first paragraph, you should summarize the author's main point and what you plan to speak about.
• In your second paragraph, you should discuss why this article or main point stuck with you, what you gained from it, and or what you learned that was new.
• Lastly, your third paragraph should convey how or why the point you chose to discuss in your post is relevant or current with what is happening in today's world. It is important that we do not see what we read about in Ethnic Studies as something in the past but can connect the course materials to issues occurring in 2023.
• Add a quote/in-text citation to your first paragraph from this week's readings.
