Your description and analysis of the case study should address the following issues: 1. What was/is the nature and history of the (proposed or existing) extractive project? Who is extracting or seeking to extract what, and what makes this a (potentially) viable project? 2. What concerns or objections have been raised? By whom? Briefly describe the (potential) impacts of the extractive project. 3. What activism or resistance has been organized against the extractive project? Who is involved? Is the local community working with social movements, international organizations, or other allies? If so, how? 4. What governments (and levels of government) are involved and what role do they play in this conflict? If informative, refer to the Human Development Index of the country where the project is located and the country where the company is headquartered (more information on the HDI in Reading Resources). 5. Comment on the trustworthiness of available information (The PARCA test will assist you: https://spark.library.yorku.ca/wp-content/themes/glendonits-spark20151125/resources/PARCA%20Test_Final.pdf) 6. What does this example teach you about the relationship between natural resource extraction and affected communities? Be sure to refer to the guideline article and other relevant sources to answer this question. Guidelines: Your essay should be thoughtful, incisive, and creatively synthesize your own research and interpretations. It should begin with a thesis statement indicating your argument about the relationship between resource extraction and community. Your essay should be in your own words as much as possible. If quoting another author, quoting short phrases and concepts of less than ten words is fine, and remember to reference them. The list of further reading is there to stimulate your thoughts and ideas. If you do want to add in some discussion about another case elsewhere discussed by another author, this is fine but be sparing in how you do this. The majority of the essay should be about the case study you have selected. You should conclude the essay with a paragraph that reflects on the role of extractive activities in our world and their impacts on human community
