Assignment: Minerals Mining

Mining for minerals and rocks is a very common, often lucrative, business across the world. Find out what minerals and/or rocks are mined in your area and why. (If you choose a common element, like aluminum or lithium, be sure to identify what minerals or rocks these are found in to be mined.) Be sure to include the characteristics of the rocks or minerals, method of mining operation, what the minerals are used for, and the economics associated with their collection.

Your paper should meet the following requirements:

  Detropia. Answers to each question should be about one or two paragraphs long. The more

  detailed and thorough your answers are, the better you will likely do on the assignment. You may

  wish to consult your textbook, lecture slides, the movie itself, or other sources, but if you do use

  outside sources to support your arguments, be sure to use proper citation. Please include the

  Questions:

   

  1. What are some of the struggles that both city officials and citizens of Detroit face when such a

  large city loses a large portion of its population, and what are some of the proposed responses

  and solutions to these problems?

   

  2. Tommy Stephens, the owner of the Raven Lounge, remarks during the auto show that “this

  global economy stinks!” Why does he say this, and what implications has a globalized economy

  had for Detroit? Specifically, how have Free Trade policies affected Detroit’s auto industry?

   

  3. In Detropia, we see several shots of the Detroit opera, and learn that the major auto companies

  continue to fund the opera and other arts in the city even while they continue to close plants.

  What might this say about privilege and racial segregation in Detroit?

   

  4. While the decline of Detroit’s auto industry has brought hard times for many of the city’s

  residents, others have found ways to take advantage of this decline. As depicted in Detropia,

  what types of economic opportunities does the decline of Detroit present, and which groups of

  people seem to be prospering?

   

  5. Despite the hardships that many people face in modern Detroit, many of its residents maintain

  a strong sense of pride and personal identity attached to the city. Based on the things people say

  in Detropia, what are some of the sources of this continual pride? What seems to inform a strong

  sense of identity with Detroit?
