Discussion:
Read your textbook's chapter on Mexico in Central America. Answer the question:
"How and why did forces undermining the PRI (Institutional Revolutionary Party) emerge, culminating in the victory of Vicente Fox of PAN (the National Action Party). In political terms, where do you feel Mexico should go in the future?"
Develop a Thesis:
Create a tentative thesis based on your chosen question above. Your thesis lets the reader know what political issue you will tackle in the United States, Nigeria, or Mexico. The last part of your thesis should include a "seed" of thought to indicate where you stand on the question. For an example of a thesis, please see Guidelines for Writing Research Papers located in the Course Materials folder.
Conduct Research:
Research your textbook plus at least two other sources from your college's online library or your local community library. Gather 4-6 or more quotations or citations, using APA style. After you gather your research documentation, revise your thesis as needed to fit the facts.
