I enjoyed your infographic because I learned about a new topic! It was easy to understand as well as informative. My one question is that in the last section you talked about the problems the countries raised. Did they see the problems ahead of time and were unable to avoid signing the agreement because of political pressure/other reasons or were they unaware of these problems until it was implemented? Again, good job!
Your infographic interested me because it is similar to the topic I tackled for the last Each One Teach One (NAFTA). Like NAFTA, CAFTA has a negative impact on farmers in developing countries. In your infographic, all of the problems associated with CAFTA are hypothetical. In your video, you confirmed that the fears of the developing countries have have in fact been realized. Like Jaclyn, I wonder why these developing countries signed the agreement when they seemed to be aware of the consequences they would be facing. Perhaps the agreement benefited those in power in the government while disenfranchising the every day worker?
