Maquilopolis




Today you will summarize the last portion of Maquilopolis. Remember, you are NOT starting a new post, rather adding one more paragraph to the post you have already been working on.



In this paragraph please tell me:


·       What you saw today


·       What you think is the worst thing about the maquiladoras


·       Tell me who you think is at fault. Is this a problem Mexico needs to fix, the U.S. needs to fix, or both?


·       What can we as consumers do to help stop the abusive practices of Maquiladoras
