Question
With reference to two Latin American countries, discuss the aims of violent and/or non-violent movements.
Markscheme
The question requires that candidates, referring to two Latin American countries, offer a considered and balanced review of the aims of violent movements, non-violent movements or a combination of the two. When considering the aims, candidates may focus on demands for social justice and/or the fairer distribution of resources. They may consider demands for land, education, health services and access to water. There may also be discussion of the role of movements in promoting respect for indigenous traditions and cultures. Candidates may also consider movements for which the main aims were political, for example the restoration of democracy or the desire to bring about wider political engagement. Candidates may or may not choose to use a comparative approach.
