Hey guys! This is your first current events assignment, due next Monday (A Day) and Tuesday (B Day), October 18-19. For the directions, scroll down to the bottom of the blog.
We are at the moment talking about the relationship between the United States, Cuba, and Spain at the end of the 19th century. During this time, people such as Jose Marti can be viewed as heroes by some and villians by others. Therefore, this news story about a Chinese activist for human rights and democracy brings into question whether he should have gotten the Nobel Peace Prize or not. Please read the article and comment whether you think he should or should not have gotten the prize. Explain your answer in detail and make at least two response (non-consecutive) on the blog by the deadline.
