1) i don't have any questions at the moment for either the readings and powerpoints.
2) For the first written respond i plan on writing about Salvador abortion laws, as well as talking about the obstacles women go through in latin American. I want my focus point to be about abortion laws. It is a very sensitive subject but it is a subject that needs to be talked about.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I do not have questions about this week's readings or PowerPoints.
2. For the written response I am thinking of mentioning the abortion laws we discussed in class. These strict abortion laws are (in my opinion) one of the things that prevent women the most from becoming full citizens. To not even have autonomy over your own body is extremely detrimental to their fight for equality.

# data[].attributes.body
#1. I do not have any questions regarding the readings/PowerPoint because they are pretty straightforward.
#2. I am planning on writing about abortion or the sexual view built throughout history on indigenous women. These topics really caught my attention because of the really strict laws they have in El Salvador for abortion and because of the way that indigenous women are portrayed as sexual many times throughout history.

# data[].attributes.body
1) I do not have any questions regarding the reading

2) I'm thinking about either writing about abortion or I also found the reading about what challenges indigenous women go through really interesting as well

# data[].attributes.body
Question #1: I do not have any questions about the readings or powerpoints so far. They are clear and straight to the point.
Question #2: For the written response that is coming up, I am thinking about writing about the abortion laws in El Salvador. I think the reading was extremely interesting because its similar to politicians now in the US with their agendas such as in Texas.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I currently do not have any questions about this weeks readings or the content that was covered in the powerpoints.

2. For writing response #1, I am interested in discussing a women's role within her family structure. I would like to include how a the traditional family structure impacts a women's ability to have a job, make a livable income and obtain assets that are independent from her husband. Another topic I am interested in writing about is how a women's body and potentially her livelihood can be controlled by state legislation as seen with the abortion laws in El Salvador.

# data[].attributes.body
Question #1: I currently don’t have any questions regarding this week’s readings.

Question #2: For the upcoming written response, I am thinking about writing about abortion laws in El Salvador. Last week we read an interesting article that invited us to consider why abortion laws matter (Her Body, Our Laws). In Beatriz 'case, she was three months pregnant when she found out that her baby was anencephalic and that her pregnancy could also put her life at stake. Since, 1998 abortion laws have become more strict in El Salvador, resulting in women having no voice over their bodies when going through a similar situation.

# data[].attributes.body
#1: I do not have any questions right now about the readings but if I do I will email you, thank you!

#2: For the first written response I plan to write about how indigenous women are restricted by gender, social class (tourism), and struggle with their identity (ethnicity). I’ve noticed Latin American women’s bodies (in context of the reading Mexican women) play a big roll in their day to day life where they’re forced to sell their beauty on the market just to barely survive.

# data[].attributes.body
Q1: I currently do not have any questions about this weeks readings/PowerPoints.

Q2: I am currently unsure of what I want to begin writing about but I am leaning towards how religion or culture could affect woman negatively in terms of the control they have over their own bodies to other stigmas people have against women =.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I do not have any questions for this week's readings.
2.I have a few things in mind that I would like to write about such as the abortion laws in El Salvador and how women are still seen as not powerful. This topic really caught my attention because this is still relevant till this day. Also, connect it with the treatment woman go through simply because of their clothing from the past, til now.

# data[].attributes.body
1.I don’t have any question for the reading right now.
2.for the first written respond i don’t know what to write about but kinda I’m interested in feminicide in Honduras

# data[].attributes.body
Question 1: No questions regarding the readings or power points.
Question 2: I want to write about how women in Latin America are the ones to get penalized/be targets for almost everything and men don't. Two topics that will be supporting this will be how in El Salvador women who miscarry are not only just groomed, raped, miscarry but also are incarcerated. I will also bring up that for indigenous women who still wear indigenous clothing to school are subjects of bullying or viewed as less than.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I don't have any questions about this week's readings or PowerPoints.

2. For the first written response I was thinking of discussing the challenges women face, but I can't decide I want to discuss several topics or just focus on one. I do want to explore how regulations on women's bodies exist and how extremely detrimental those regulations can affect different dimensions of the human experience and everyday life, such as how abortion is heavily regulated in El Salvador, expression and the power of "poner el cuerpo" as forms of challenging those restrictions in Argentina and how sensitive regulations and actions by women in resistance can lead to femicide in Honduras. I feel like these three topics are tightly related to each other and flow naturally. I am not completely sure if this sounds way too broad and I would like some guidance in terms that please. :)

# data[].attributes.body
1. I do not have any questions as of right now
2. I'm not sure what I should write about yet, but I think I'm leaning towards domestic violence and how and why it's more prevalent for Latin American Women since it's embedded into many cultures.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Currently, I don’t have any questions about this week's readings or PowerPoints.

2. For writing response #1, I plan to write about the influence of cultural beliefs and religion, and what impact these beliefs have on the personal life(family dynamics, family responsibilities, etc) of women in Latin countries.

# data[].attributes.body
1) I currently do not have any questions.
2) I'm planning on writing about the women in Argentina and how they used their bodies for protest. Also, the strict abortion laws in Central American countries and how negatively it affects these women. Those were two topics that have caught my attention.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I don't have any questions at the moment!
2. I'm thinking of writing about how men use/depict women as symbols

# data[].attributes.body
1) I do not have any questions about this week's readings at the moment.
2) I believe I want to write about the three shifts that women endure in order to provide for their families in Latin American countries devastated by neoliberal policies. I want to go into depth about how the neoliberal agenda directly affects women the most, and sets a foundation for a iron fist patriarchy. I would make connections with the privatization of public property, and the ways in which this ownership and entitlement can be seen in the ways women experience life in their countries. This reminds me of the women in Bolivia working domestic labor jobs that would only hire them if they dressed indigenous. The exoticism of indigenous bodies. A lot comes to mind from what we've learned in class so far.

1. I do not have any questions as of this moment.
2. I want to focus primarily on how health care has impacted women’s relationship with being treated as “citizens.” I want to focus specifically in El Salvador as the documentary we watched really spoke to me. But I want to primarily focus on the role of women within the household in relation to being single mothers and having to work. I am going to focus this in relation to indigenous women specifically how they are treated on their communities, what they can own, how they are treated at work,etc. Right now I have many ideas I just have to organize them and make a rough draft.

# data[].attributes.body
1. No questions here.
2. I'm not really sure what exactly to write about since I do find the unfair abortion laws in El Salvador to be interesting but I don't think I as someone without a uterus should be talking about that even if I do agree that they're unjust. Then my other idea is to write about the femicide but I don't really know what to write about.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I do not have any questions
2. I am thinking to writing about El Salvador and the abortion law that they have. This topic really caught my attention and would like to expand on my thoughts about it.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I have no questions
2. I plan to write about indigenous women struggle with identity and being recognized as full citizens due to their heritage as well as being women.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I currently don't have any questions about the readings or the powerpoints.
2. For my written reflection I would like to talk about the unfair and unjust aborting laws there are in El Salvador. I would also like to talk about the feminicides in Mexico. Both topics revolve about the fear of being a woman in their home countries.
Question: Would it be possible to get a rubric for the written reflection assignment?

# data[].attributes.body
Q1: PLEASE EMAIL ME ABOUT MY THESIS is this an ok thesis to have or should i tweak it
Q2: I want to write about 3 topics to answer the prompt:
- How indigenous people face restrictions in social mobility and their forced participation in the global market through the commodification of their identities
- Women in Latin America are treated as subhuman as seen through readings dealing  with abortion while mentioning lack of human rights to basic needs (stability, jobs with living wages)
- Women are treated as subhuman and without state protections in terms of physical abuse. economically inhibited cuz they work long hours and can{t hire babysitters

Thesis: Women in Latin America face discrimination regarding their indigenous identities, lack proper citizen protection regarding reproductive rights, and lack of state protections. These issues also overlap their ability to be autonomous due to a lack of basic economic needs.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I do not have questions regarding this week's lectures and readings.

2. For the written reflection, I plan to talk about abuse that women face in El Salvador and Honduras. In these two countries, mental and physical abuse for indigenous women has been a very common occurrence throughout the last two decades. The countries' governments has set many laws that counter many women's abilities to do many things independently. Most laws like the abortion laws El Salvador decide the fate of many young women even though it wasn't by choice. This is a topic that is plaguing Central and Latin American and want to cover more of it.

1.  I do not have questions for the readings for this week nor from the lecture/PowerPoints.
2. For the written reflection I would like to focus on abortion laws, specifically in El Salvador and Mexico.

# data[].attributes.body
1) No questions about the powerpoint.
2)I plan to talk about the women in Bolivia and the the challenges they face, the abortion laws in El Salvador. However I do also want to talk about how tourism is affecting the Mayan population, specifically the women, in Mexico.

# data[].attributes.body
1.) I do not have any questions or concerns about the lectures/articles this week.
2.) I am not sure if there is a specific question for the written response yet, but something I have in mind for my written response is the idea of the "perfect family" and or familial relationships. Another potential topic I am thinking about is that of the abortion laws in el salvador, but I am not sure which one I would be talking about just yet.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I currently do not have any questions on either the powerpoints of the readings.

2. For the first written response, I am not 100% set on what to write about jut yet but the abortion laws in El Salvador have interested in me. Particularly the mini documentary we watched a week or two in class that interviewed women and the mothers of those who were accused of getting an abortion. The stigma surrounding abortion is a worldwide issue but the way the government and even fellow women feed into those stereotypes in El Salvador really opened my eyes.

# data[].attributes.body
1. for this weeks lectures/reading it came to my mind if those living in the states of Quintana Roo and Yucatan in Mexico were experiencing the same labor/economic disparities as those in Chiapas, considering those states are high in tourism and mayan culture?

2. I plan on reflecting on the overall disparities that exist in Central America revolving indigenous women. Yes, this idea is very broad, but I hope to look into how indigenous women have faced more challenges in their country through a social, cultural, personal, economic and political sense. We know the treatment the receive from other women in countries is far more different, considering the various barriers that exist. I will use the biggest examples that standout in terms of how education, violence, racism, labor and other challenges and disparities faced within the communities are effecting the lives of the women across Latin America.

1.  I was confuse with the phrase ejidos definition but besides that I  am good for this week reading.
2. For the written response, I am not sure if I would be writing about abortion laws in El Salvador or regarding domestic abuse. Right now I do not have any question regarding the written response.

# data[].attributes.body
1.) Currently, I do not have questions.
2.) I want to explore the idea of familial relationships further. My focus is mainly going to come from the perspective of "Un Favorite". I find it important how women interact with their families and how their contributions differ depending on the dynamic of the household.

# data[].attributes.body
1) No questions or comments for this weeks reading.
2) I am thinking about writing on working women in Latin American. I don’t have a specific country yet but I want to focus on the different sectors women tend to work in and what impacts it has made on their own lives and in the economy of the country.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I do not have any questions regarding this weeks reading/lecture.
2. For the reading reflection I plan to write about abortion laws in El Salvador, how violence against women is dealt with in the various countries we discussed in class, and the role women have played in activism and why.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I do not have any questions about this week's readings or PowerPoints presented to us.

2. For the first written response, I plan on writing about femicide in Mexico and in Honduras. It is an important topic to learn about so that people understand how difficult the lives of these women are in their home countries since they are often discriminated against and their strength to let their voices be heard are sapped away
by their own people.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I don't have questions about the PowerPoint/readings.
2. For the written response, since it's March already and it's women's month; I would like to talk about domestic violence in Peru + a connection to the inequalities in assets. Or a combination of domestic violence in Peru with recent and often feminicides in Mexico, the lack of enforcement and discrimination doesn't happen only in Peru but it's a constant pattern in Latin America.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I don’t have any question about the readings or powerpoints.
2. About the written reflection, I was thinking about writing about abortion laws, specifically those in El Salvador and Mexico. I also want to include violence against women(femicides) in Mexico and Peru. Bolivia is also an important topic I want to cover, with the discrimination against indigenous women.

1. I don't have any questions for the readings this week or lecture.
2. For the written reflection some topics that I would like to focus on is probably abortion along different countries in Latin America, and or violence against women in the same countries as well, popular could be Bolivia or peru. Just in general how women are treated when it comes to their social class and how they are placed in the system.

# data[].attributes.body
1.) I do not have any questions at the moment.
2.)What I am thinking about writing for the first written response is in regards to a combination of abortion laws (in El Salvador), what constitutes labor and how domestic labor is disregarded as hard work, and how colorism still prevails/how whiteness is deemed as an achievement/the way in which women function under these standards.

1. I didn't have many questions for this week's readings.
2. As for the response paper, I would like to write about the abortion laws and also focus on Mexico! I would like to talk about the feminicide that exists in Mexico as well. I would also like to write about women in latin@ families and reread some of the articles.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I don't have any questions at the moment.
2. For the written response, I wanted to focus on the job industry and the perception of indigenous women. Moreover, I also wanted to focus on the strict abortion laws in El Salvador and the violence against women in Peru. Overall, I hope to connect all of these societal issues with the overall familial structure and norms in Latin America. A question I have is if we could have a more in depth rubric or outline of how we should format the response.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I don't have any question about this assignmrent as I felt it was explained well in lecture.

2. I plan on reflecting on the lack of autonomy that women have over themselves due to government and religion. I want to reflect on how this affects multiple aspects of their lives to their reproduction (abortion and rape of indeginoue women), homeownership, and fashion. I will be focusing on Mexico, El Salvador, and Peru but will likely expand into more with what I go back and pull from our previous articles.

1. I do not have any questions about this week's reading.
2. For the written response, I'm not sure yet what to write about but I was thinking of writing about the abortion laws in El Salvador or about Latin American families and their roles.
3. One question I have for the written response is what are examples of racial or ethnic elements?

# data[].attributes.body
1- I don’t really have any questions about what we took so far.
2- About the written response, I’m still not sure of what to write about but I was thinking about either abortion laws in El Salvador or the roles and responsibilities of them in households. Those are the topics that I think were mentioned a lot in class. However, I think that I will most likely write about the abortion laws since this topic shocked me the most.

# data[].attributes.body
Question #1: Do you have any questions about this week's readings/PowerPoints?
- Not really, I would just like to learn more about the Zapatistas movement and Comandante Marcos.

Question #2: As you start to think about what to write for the Written Response #1, due March 11th, what are you thinking about writing about?
- I would like to talk about the Bolivians and the hiring of indigenous women, abortion in El Salvador, and Peru's violence against women. Also touch base on the head of household role and their "jobs"/responsibilities at home.

1. Something that I was confused about this week was also the word "ejidos." I have heard that term before but it was never explained in a way that it made sense to me.
2. I sort of have a basic idea of what I would like to mention/add in my written response. I think abortion was a big topic in class and I would like to further analyze that in the response. I do not have my sources/readings picked out yet, but I will soon to get started on the assignment. Another issue that I would like to touch up upon is the way in which women of different social classes are treated and how poor women that work (instead of staying home) are looked down upon and considered "bad mothers."

1. I was a little bit confused about what “ejidos” were. I’m sure I just didn’t catch the explanation that the professor gave during class.

2. At first, I thought the written response was meant to be informal and less essay-ish, but based on this question, I’m assuming we have to format it as an essay (with a thesis that addresses all the requirements) rather than a written response addressing each bullet point one by one. Is that right? In that case, I’m not completely sure what I would write about, since I’m not sure how to tie all the information we need to give under one or two readings.
