OBJECTIVE AND RESEARCH QUESTION
What is our project´s main objective?
Our objective as a team is divided into two main goals:
I. With the use of Information Technologies, we intend to identify the
economic, political, industrial, and social problems that influence NAFTA
(The North American Free Trade Agreement). NAFTA has had many
changes for Mexico these past years. In order, determine whether the
USMCA (United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement Text) is a better trade
deal agreement for the Mexican political state, compared to the previous
agreement.
II. On the other hand, through the use of Communication Technologies, we
want to document and disseminate the relevant information of this
problem through the use of the technologies we have in hand, especially
the one we have used to carry out our project; Blogger.
Statement of our topic:
To start understanding the problems and disadvantages that NAFTA has brought to
the Mexican political state, we must first start by contextualizing the impact of the
trade between the United States and México. While the North American Free Trade
Agreement has done good things for the economy of the three countries: United
States, Mexico and Canada. It has also brought a negative impact to the member
countries regarding the working sector. Especially for Mexican and American
workers. It has also caused a negative effect on México´s environment and natural
resources. Since labor is cheaper in Mexico, industries from all over the world
removed their production from the United States, as it implies a higher cost in
manufacturing. These industries included textiles, motor vehicles, and electrical
appliances. Another sector that has been damaged by NAFTA, was Mexico´s

3. 3
agribusiness. As many small rural Mexican farms were out of business because they
couldn´t compete with the highly subsidized American farmers that exported corn
and other crops to Mexico below cost.
Research Question:
¿How NAFTA affected Mexico and what the USMCA trade deal implies for the
improvement of Mexico´s economy and industry?
IMPORTANCE OF OUR TOPIC: NAFTA AND USMCA
INFLUENCE IN MEXICO
We want the reader to understand the huge importance that the new trade
agreement, already signed by the presidents of the respective member countries, has
on our country. It is not just a matter of changing the market, but the whole
economic, political and social sphere of the three participating nations. There are
significant impacts that the new USMCA will bring. The most significant ones are
related to the automobile, textile and agricultural sectors. The non-tariff barriers
impacts will be reduced by implementingtransparency in imports and exports. What
is the relevance that this new agreement has on the digital sector? In the matter that
we as a team have been in contact with since the beginning of the semester? We are
talking about the “information and communication technologies”. Why it is
important for the digital sector to know the benefits of USMCA on, for example,
intellectual property, copyright, and the ethical privacy issues in the use of
information? That is to say, the protection of content that has been put online.1

Another point of importance and the reason why we chose to carry out this topic was
the belief that, in order to reach multilateral liberalization and an open market
system between countries, these must unite and should create this type of
agreements, which can serve as a building block towards this market openness. This
can translate to benefits for all the member countries in equal parts, or at least, that
is the goal.
We believe that the debate must continue and rethink whereas regional integration
is better than multilateral trade liberalization. With the USMCA, we believe a higher
liberalization for all the three countries will gain, as every country will have, in
theory, a direct benefit from another country´s benefit.
Action had to be done, as NAFTA demonstrated a lack of effectivity and, above
all, failures in the search of the dignity of the person. One serious problem NAFTA
had, especially for Mexican workers, was the exploitation of Maquiladora workers. A
Maquiladora is a place where the United States companies employ Mexican workers
near the border. Workers assemble products to export back into the United States.
With NAFTA, the Maquiladora program was expanded by the removal of tariffs. But
conditions for workers are not exactly the best they can be, as the workdays stretch
out to 12 hours or even more, and according to Continental Social Alliance, workers
lack of fundamental labor rights and health protection.2
The importance of the USMCA falls on the fact that the trade deficit between
Mexico, Canada and the United States, and all the irregularities of the previous
agreement must be suppressed or at least diminished. The new deal changes NAFTA
in many areas, one of them, and maybe the one with the highest importance, is the
automobile sector. Auto companies must manufacture at least 75 percent of the
2 Valente, M. (2001) “The Lessons of NAFTA” Inter Press Service, Rome

5. 5
components of the cars within the USMCA´s trade zone, which can only mean that
the countries will gain much more. This economic betterment seems good, but let
us not forget about the most important factor: the dignity of the person and his and
her environment. NAFTA really hurt Mexico´s environment because of the
competitive pressure that NAFTA required. Mexican farmers started using more
fertilizers and other chemicals, which caused a lot of pollution, approximately $36
billion per year where lost because of this.3
This only had a bad effect resulting on
the translation of farmers to marginal land, leaving the camp uninhabited, and
furthermore, resulting in deforestation.
We must speak in terms of equality in conditions for all three of the member
countries with this new deal, that is the goal we must aspire for. This 30th
of
September represented a huge claim of what must be primordial for all of the three
countries. We have seen the faults of the previous deal and the governments are
more aware of what must be spared and what needs to be done, in order to avoid the
same mistakes produced by a lack of effectivity in the deal.4
USMCA is meant to take
a huge part of Mexico´s economy, we can hear this with President Enrique Peña Nieto,
in one of the last interviews with media and in front of Donald Trump, explained
that: “There are differences that we have, but in commerce, we’ve found a point of
agreement.5
In conclusion, the relevance of this topic and the reasons why we chose it were, first,
the relevance that these deals have for Mexico in direct and indirect terms. All our

careers, international relations, law and anthropology go hand in hand with the
theme, and this was the point of conjunction between our interests. We believe that
with the use of ICT´s the information relevant to this topic can be spread as quick as
the blink of an eye, but that could also be a double-edged weapon for people that do
not comprehend the topic and start spreading fake news. With this project, we intend
to announce only true data, intercalated with some of our personal opinions. We
believe of high importance to be truthful and stay neutral and objective in this kind
of topics, in order to disseminate only the veridic information and not just
subjectivities. Also, one of our priorities will be to watch the copyright licenses in
order to not break any ethical or legal rule. We hope that the reader finds this essay
useful and especially inducing to keep on learning.
KEYWORDS AND EXPLANATION
NAFTA- North American Free Trade Agreement.
This term is important because it was the first name given to the agreement
between United States, Mexico and Canada, signed in 1994.
USMCA- United States, Mexico and Canada Agreement.
The new name given to the negotiation.
Mexico.

7. 7
Even though there are other 2 members in the agreement, the research is focused
on Mexico, considering that our country, is probably, the “loser” in this negotiation
because of all the restrictions imposed by the United Stated, who is considered the
winner.
Affectations- repercussions.
In the research, we will emphasize about the repercussions that the NAFTA had for
Mexico, but at the same time, the new implications with the USMCA.
Improvement- economic and social development.
Economy- market, resources.
Industry- Related concepts: industry of construction/manufacturing.

OUR SEARCH STRATEGY
The main advantage of our research strategy is that it helps us to reach the
information source that we need in a faster way. The search strategies that we used
during our research reduced the amount of options to check, whether they were by
year or keywords. On the other hand, the reduction of source can lead us to only one
option that, even though it contains the keywords, is not necessarily related to the
context of the information we are looking for. Also, there are some sources that are
not so vast, and the search strategy may eliminate all the possible options, even if
there are sources without the key words that may solve our research question. We
believe there are more advantages in the search strategies that we used such as the
“Booleans” from the Library of UDLAP, because they simplify our search by
adjusting the system to our preferences and by looking for what we are aiming for.
On the other hand, it can be a disadvantage when the person searching for a specific
content does not know how to do an effective use of this search strategies, because
instead of simplifying the search, it complicates things. Also, a search strategy, when
one does not know how to make good use of it, it can lead to simplifying a lot and
leaving good options out of the marge. We believe that, in order to do an excellent

11. 11
search strategy, the person using these tools must know the way that they operate, in
order to have the best possible results.

EXPLANATION OF THE PLATFORM WE USED: Why our platform
was appropriate for the intended audience?
(Blogger)
Between all the options, we chose for our project: Blogger. First, we did so because it
was free and quickly to star work with. Some of its advantages are the friendly
appearance for the user, that means that is easy to travel through the site, so anybody
can use it. Blogger allows us to have the same blog with multiple editors, so all the
members of the team can be working on the blog at the same time. Along with a
text, we could add images or videos that can be arrange in different ways, and that’s
something we can’t do on twitter or Facebook.
Other aspect is that we could track the rates of users visiting our blog, so we could
see which posts where more popular and what kind of information about the NAFTA
the users wanted to know. People also interacted with us on the comments section
and it was more to share the link of our blog on social media.
Blogger may not be the fanciest tool to create a website, but certainly is easy and
quick to publish articles, images, and videos, in order to keep our users informed
about the current state of the agreement.
Blogger, in our opinion,is the most appropriate toolfor the audience we aimto reach
for, simply because it is the easiest and most practical way to read extensive
informationregarding the new trade agreement. Our intended audience was, mostly,
peopleinterested in the topic, but we also tried to make our website the most visually

21. 21
aesthetic possible in order to reach for a young audience and make the youth involve
in the topic, that´s why we posted a lot of videos and visual content, in order to attract
this sector of the population.
OUR EXPERIENCE DURING THE SEMESTER
(Conclusion)
During this semester, we worked with the theme of NAFTA and the various points
of view of the problem of the agreement with the three countries in
the commercial agreement. Also, we learnt how the ICT´s are very related with our
world and with the entire world in general, as it is a big system in which all of us fit
in. We are part of the system and the system is a part of us, and we need to know this
technology, as it is our most important tool in the actual world. We learnt that
technology is everywhere, and that its relations are infinite. In our experience,
we never imagined how ICT’s were so important to know in a deep way, not just for
easy and conventional searches, and all the benefits they can give to us. We learnt
the multipurpose uses of this ICT’s in our daily life. Moreover, we learnt the uses of
technology in the labor management of big companies, but also, in little parts of our
daily lives, and how all these relations with information and communication
technologies relate. At the end of the semester, we clearly realized how the ICT’s
could be applied in our class project and in our major because we knew the
implications of technology in the future of our globalized world and in the present
in which we are living. In terms of the team dynamic we believe that each of us
worked in a harmonic way, as every member of The Dictators collaborated in their
corresponding part. We united when something was not understood, and we always

22. 22
helped each other, we can only say that it was a good team effort, and that we found
good friends, too. Finally, we want to express that we are thankful for the tips and
tricks that the professor gave to us in terms of search, we could understand how to
do an efficient and serious search in UDLAP´s library, and in the whole internet too.
The thesaurus also played a big part of our searches, and in general, all the advices
to do a professional search for information will highly pay a relevant role in our
further career. We can only say that we have all the tools necessary to become
professional investigators.
