Question 1. Using whatever method makes the most sense to you, create a simplified diagram of the events described in the article, "Dying for a Cup of Coffee" by Dr. Joseph Nevins. You may do this by hand on a paper with pen and take a picture to post, or you may create a diagram digitally to include. Your diagram should focus on the links between events, rather than providing a simple chronology.
The article discusses the labor and migration patterns between the United States and Mexico in the context of the coffee industry. It highlights the exploitative conditions faced by Mexican coffee workers and the complex dynamics that contribute to their vulnerabilities.
One key element in the diagram would be the international coffee trade, which connects coffee-producing regions in Mexico to consumers in the United States. This trade involves various actors such as coffee growers, exporters, importers, and retailers.
Another important link would be the role of multinational corporations in the coffee industry. These corporations often prioritize profit over the well-being of workers, leading to the exploitation of labor in coffee-growing regions.
The diagram could also include the factors that push Mexican workers to migrate to the United States in search of better economic opportunities. These push factors could include poverty, lack of job opportunities, and the impacts of free trade policies.
Furthermore, the diagram could illustrate the vulnerabilities faced by migrant workers in the United States, including precarious employment, low wages, and poor living conditions. It could also highlight the role of immigration policies and enforcement in shaping the experiences of Mexican migrants.
However, there may be certain aspects of the article that may not lend themselves well to being depicted graphically. For example, the article may discuss the social and cultural impacts of migration on the families left behind in Mexico, which may be more challenging to represent visually.
Question 2. In a post of between 100 and 250 words, explain your diagram, being sure to address what you chose to include and whether there was anything that did not lend itself to being depicted graphically.
