Tren Maya: Trail of the Cultures.
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- This essay won or received an honorable mention for The Boothe Prize for excellence in first-year writing. The Boothe Prize recognizes and rewards outstanding expository and argumentative writing by undergraduate students in the first-year Writing and Rhetoric classes, Integrated Learning Environments, and Thinking Matters programs. In each award-winning essay, student writers demonstrate clarity of argument, excellent integration of research-based evidence, and compelling prose style. In this essay, Ana Ximena Sosa discusses the environmental, economic and social impacts of Tren Maya, concluding that while the massive train project is well intentioned, it will not be socially beneficial and empowering for the local people.
