For Monday:  What is the most important lesson we can learn from NAFTA?  If you want access to the articles we had around the room, see them here.  This writing should be about a page in length.

Have the following questions answered for Friday:

NAFTA DEBRIEF QUESTIONS:

  1. List what you think would be likely to increase or grow as a result of NAFTA +/-?
  2. How do you think NAFTA has affected you personally?
  3. On the day NAFTA took effect, January 1, 1994, the Zapatistas, an armed group made up of largely poor and indigenous farmers in the Mexican state of Chiapas, launched a rebellion against the Mexican government.  Why might they have chosen that date to begin their uprising?
