For my class in UBA I wrote a group paper of 25 pages about the current situation of systematic slavery of bolivians in textile factories in Buenos Aires. Our conclusion was that it was a system based in discrimination with the textile managers recruiting specifically bolivians, exploiting their countries economic situation, the large joblessness, the process of immigration, and their culture. Many of the managers currently are bolivians themselves who were formerly slaves and are rising to the power in the only system that they know.
Nota: 9
For my Castellano class I wrote a short 4.5 pager (1.5 spaced) about how Los Abuelos de la Nada was successful in the context of the change in the political environment in 1983 after the last military dictatorship
For my independent study for methodology I surveyed 20 people to learn more about their tendencies in giving money to beggers on the subway. In general more give than don't both in my non-empirical observations and in this study. When asking questions about their reasoning I found that no matter people's opinions about how to better help, their opinions about the role of the government in aid, or their knowledge of child exploitation in this context- they still gave. I came to the conclusion that the lack of thought or influence of thought in their giving meant that this action was a porteño custom.
