This week you were introduced to the Children of the Mountains. Many of you were ignorant to the fact that this community even existed, and many of you were surprised to know that this is happening in this country.
As we discussed in class, the issue of the Appalachian people has it's many sub-isues, all of which are interrelated and as a consequence perpetuate the social conditions in which they live. Time and time again we have heard of "solutions", usually by politicians, that need to be implemented in order to eradicate the "problem. While still others, believe that it is a "problem" that is not solvable and will always exist.
Using the information that you learned through the documentary, and pulling from your own global awareness, what you have learned in the past, and the teachings of your parents/family, etc., argue whether or not this issue is solvable, and if not why, or if so, how.
Remember to bring a hard copy of your entry to class on Monday.
