Since last week, I have decided to change the main focus of my project. Cuba is a place that I am really passionate and it is in the lime light right now for reestablishing ties with the US. The main issue that I will be raising awareness for through this project and Cuba, is globalization. Globalization does provide more job opportunities but that is not a necessity in Cuba since it is a communistic culture. The main downfall of globalization is that it destroys culture. From going to Cuba over Christmas break, I saw and experienced it first hand and it is definitely a place and culture I want to see preserved. I plan on making a video on how Cuba is not ready for the huge influx in American tourism and then how they will be effected by globalization.
Because Cuba and US relations are a very popular subject right now, it was really interesting to see and hear everybody's responses to my personal experience as well as what they think is going to happen because of relations reopening. Overall, I got really positive feedback from other students and teachers about my new project.
I have the privilege of returning to Cuba for spring break and now I have another subject to be focusing on when I'm there. I will take pictures of the current infrastructure and people along and try to capture the culture. These will be put into my video and I will answer my current cliff hanger question, is Cuba ready for this huge influx in American tourists?
