Assignment:

A-Sections in this module's reading refer to the concept of Manifest Destiny and discuss the building of the Panama Canal. To some, the Panama Canal became a symbol of modern progress and American-meaning U.S.-achievement. To others, it represented the next generation of colonization, from initial European control to the exertion of U.S. power in the region. Returning the canal's management to Panamanians was a key political act to close out the 20th century, recognizing Panama's self-determination and ushering in (some say) a new century of globalization.

In words, how would you explain what the Panama Canal represents? How does it serve as a powerful symbol for various cultures and generations across the centuries in the Americas?
