    Dolores Trevizo uses the introductory chapter of “Rural Protest and the Making of Democracy in Mexico, 1968-2000,” to prove the non-violent grassroots social movements in the rural communities of Mexico were the catalyst behind the transition from a Neoliberal/semi- authoritarian structure to democracy .

The illness can be described as a disorder characterized by the presence of two or more distinct personality states. “DID is a disorder characterized by identity fragmentation rather than a proliferation of separate personalities.” (1) While Chillingworth, Dimmesdale, and Andy all appear to be admirable characters, they all posses guilt, sin, and wickedness that is not apparent to society. Roger Chillingworth possesses his own guilt, sin, and wickedness.…
