Problem
Michael Cepek argues that multiple factors contributed to the fact that the Cofan did not protest oil drilling activities for over thirty years, many of which he summarizes with the term "fearful passivity."
a) Describe in some detail three of the things (historical and cultural) that he argues contributed to this fearful passivity.
b) Draw some parallels between the Cofan's situation and an issue that is meaningful to you -- an issue that you believe too many affected people are afraid to fight against due to their own version of fearful passivity
