Mark Danner writes that El Mozote epitomized, “the classic debate of the late Cold War: between those who argued that … the United States had no choice but to go on supporting a ‘friendly’ regime, however disreputable … and those who insisted that the country must be willing to wash its hands of what had become a morally corrupting struggle.” (9) In what ways was the massacre at El Mozote framed by the terms of that debate? How did it play out in public discussion in the United States? In addition to Danner’s text, use the following sources to inform your response to this question. 1. Document 9: Secretary Enders Goes to Congress (208-224) OR Document 11: The Media’s War (229-233) and Document 14: The War’s Over (257-260) 2. Document 16: The State Department Looks at Itself (272-278) 3. “The Lesser of Two Evils,” David F. Schmitz ( Problems, 201-205) 4. “The Beliefs behind the Policies,” Lars Schoultz ( Problems, 213-218) a. Your paper should have an introduction, body and conclusion. The thesis statement (or argument) of your paper should be the answer to the above questions. In the rest of your paper, you should present and analyze important examples (i.e. evidence) in support of your thesis statement. b. While you may quote from the texts where appropriate, do not rely on long quotations. c. You may use a simple form of citation. If you quote from or paraphrase a specific passage of Mozote , you should include the appropriate page number in parentheses at the end of the sentence. If you are quoting one of the documents in the appendix, include the title of the document along with the page number. For the two pieces in the Problems book, include the name of the author and the page number in parentheses. d. Examples: i. Danner writes that Mozote was “a central parable of the Cold War.” (10) ii. Enders testified that El Salvador was making progress on human rights. (Enders, 209) iii. The Wall Street Journal wrote that the village of Mozote was “a battleground of international propaganda.” (War’s Over, 257) iv. Schmitz argues that policy was driven by the belief that people in the Third World were not prepared for democracy. (Schmitz, 202) e. Use standard formatting: 12 pt font, 1” to 1.5” margins, double spaced. PROBLEMS IN MODERN LATIN AM.HISTORY REQUIRED | By WOOD .

Marijuana There is much discussion in the press about several states moving to legalizing marijuana, either for only medical purposes, or more extremely, for recreational purposes. Looking only at the economic impact (not moral implications) of such changes in the laws, discuss how the existing system of supply and demand for illegal marijuana will be changed with the new legalization. What will happen to existing supply avenues? Will legalization significantly change demand? How? Would one expect prices to change significantly? How? What would be the costs and benefits to governments, both in changes in enforcement requirements and in potential tax revenue? .

Mark describes his use of Technical Reasoning as the following: "When I was 8 years old, I took apart my brand new computer just to see the inside. My parents weren’t too happy about that! I thought it was fun to play with the components and learning how it all worked. As an adult, I challenged myself to build a computer with a limited budget and all used parts. Not only did it work, but I hooked it up to my TV screen and had a huge computer. It was so much fun!"

Many scholars and researchers contend that LD is not a disability and should not remain a category. What is your response to this contention? Do you agree or disagree and why? In your opinion, should a learning disability be diagnosed by a discrepancy between academic performance and IQ score or should it be diagnosed by how well a child responds to intervention? Why? In the lecture for module 5 we learned that a communication disorder is “an impairment in the ability to receive, send, process, and comprehend concepts, or verbal, nonverbal, and graphic symbol systems” (“Foundations for Understanding Special Education: Defining Special Education and the Impact of Cultural Diversity of Special Education Grand Canyon University,” 2010). Learning disabilities are determined by examining the discrepancy between standardized achievement scores and academic performance in a given academic area. Many students with learning disabilities have difficulty processing information, much like students with communication disorders. Many students with communication disorders have difficulty learning academic content and exhibit problems with receptive and/or expressive language. What are some strategies you could think of that would help students process information? .
