Write a minimum 250 word discussion response making connections between the three videos, the two Chomsky segments, the Parenti piece and an essay theme. How can we draw a line connecting the CIA overthrow of a democratically elected government in Chile and the CIA engineered (attempted) coup in Venezuela, to inequality and entrenched poverty (in Chile/Venezuela and the US), to indoctrination in the United States? Do you see a solution to all this or are we destined to learn to live under the thumb of the powers that control our society? What lessons can we learn from the Black Panthers, the union movement, the suppression of unions and 60’s activism?
Using quotations is an integral part of each and every discussion post. You cannot just say what someone claims without showing what they claim with well selected quotations (MAXIMUM SCORE WITHOUT QUOTATIONS IS 8).
Use support for your points from the videos and readings. Be sure to identify the essay theme you are connecting to!!!! (Please paraphrase the essay theme. I do not have them memorized by number.)
TO SCORE EXTRA CREDIT POINTS FROM 11 TO 14, YOUR POST NEEDS TO DELVE INTO THE MORE COMPLEX ISSUES INVOLVED IN THE ASSIGNMENT, UTILIZING YOUR CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS.
IMPORTANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Plase note you should connect to this essay theme US government domestic policy. What ideology controls our domestic policy and who controls it? Trace the development of our domestic policy through history to the present)
