GES 302S Regional Geography: Developing World Department of Geography & Environmental Studies Summer 2020 Dr. Dennis Grammenos ASSIGNMENT 1: Life and Debt Guidelines This assignment is worth 250 points. It is due on Sunday, June 7th. This essay assignment intends to help students think critically about material they have encountered in their studies and to express clearly their thoughts about them in writing. Here is a very important warning: DO NOT PLAGIARIZE! SPECIFIC TASK: First, watch the video “Life and Debt” in class or on Amazon Prime. Additionally, you should study the article by Tony Weis. Your specific task for this assignment will be to respond to the video “Life and Debt” and the article by Tony Weis, while taking into careful consideration the material we have been studying in our assigned textbook. You should be responding with a well-organized, thoughtful brief essay. The main part of your response should center on responding to the following: “To what extent can one make a coherent and persuasive argument that what the film and the article present us with is an example of the active underdevelopment of Jamaica by neocolonial forces?” In this context, consider the role that multilateral institutions played in the dramatic changes that transformed the social, political, and economic conditions in Jamaica. How can a country like Jamaica respond to these challenges? What do we learn about how neoliberal policies and multilateral organizations operate and whom they ultimately benefit? Make sure that you demonstrate just how closely you watched the video and read the article. This should be your critical response to the video and the article. Use your own words and your own arguments. This brief critical response essay should be just 4-5 typed pages in length, double-spaced, with one-inch margins, using the 12-point Times New Roman font. Make sure that you carefully check the essay for spelling and grammatical errors, and that the finished product is polished and represents your absolutely best effort. You can skip extensive quotes and do make sure that this is your own work, in your own voice. If you must use a quote, make sure it is brief. Do not use a whole bunch of quotes. I am more interested in your perspective, so just tell me what YOU think and why! A precarious balance: Neoliberalism, crisis management, and the social implos...

Introduction

Jamaica had always believed in itself. It believed that it could work its way up through
thick and thin, just like any other third world country. In this country, vision is not enough.
Former Jamaican Prime Minister Michael Manley learned this lesson the hard way. His political
ideals were not enough to feed, educate, and treat Jamaicans. He happened to be on the wrong
side of politics, and this cost him and his fellow Jamaicans all the same. Manley, just like any
other leader who is passionate about saving his people, had to make tough decisions. These
decisions were so severe that he was the enemy on both sides. His people believed that he was
the reason behind their suffering, and the United States saw him as a threat. These decisions
revolve around the International Monetary Fund (IMF), which had promised to offer a solution
to the nation’s problems.
Dramatic changes that transformed the social, political, and economic conditions in Jamaica
Manley was a leader who set his eyes forward. He had a plan for his people, and this
meant that they would not have to pay for secondary education, expand the bauxite industry,
increase support for low-income housing, offer better wages for workers, and boost the
friendship between Jamaica and Cuba. His moves were aimed at eliminating capitalism, which
he stated did not help eliminate the proble...
