POWER IN THE GROUPS
The groups that were involved were the United States, the Guerillas, the Guatemalan Government, the peasants and workers, and the Army and Wealthy. In the beginning it seemed that the Guerillas and the Army and Wealthy were the most powerful and had the most MSU's but towards the end it seemed that the Guatemalan government and the peasants and workers ended up with all of the power and the Guerillas and the Army and Wealthy had lost all their power and all their MSU's by the end.
HOW POWER SHIFTED
In the beginning the army and wealthy and the Guerillas had the most MSU's and the peasants and workers had none and then by the end the peasants and workers and the Guatemalan government had the most MSU's while the army and wealthy, Guerillas, and the United States ended up with none. The United States had given all their MSU's to the peasants and the US overall had more power even though they didn't have any MSU's by the end because they could invade the other groups and they are kind of the peace keeper of all the other groups. The US has more power than the other groups because they are not fighting any of the other groups. The peasants had a power too because they had the power of voting which gave them a voice.
CONFLICTS/CORRUPTION/WAR/POWER SHIFTS/ WHO'S INVOLVED
COOPERATION AND CONFLICT
Some groups formed treaties with others and worked together to come up with ideas and fight if necessary, while other ones hated other groups and the hate led to conflict and even war. There was violence because people were silenced by some of the groups and that caused disliking of those groups from some people in the groups. There was corruption because people were trying to bribe other groups and get them to be on their side so that if anything happened they would help them.
THE UNITED STATES ROLES
The United States was kind of like the peacekeeper of all the groups, we would do whatever to get what we want but we would do it peacefully. We would try to keep the relationships of the other groups as less violent as possible. We supervised, and watched the other groups activity and such to keep peace. We would make alliances with the other groups to keep friendly relations with the groups and be friendly towards all the groups. We watched the other groups closely so that we can help a group in need if it is necessary, or if another group or groups has ganged up on them.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN POWER SHIFTS
If you're in the position where you're gaining power from another country who is losing power then it would be positive in your case if you're in that group, because you would have more choice and a more important voice in things. If you're the country is losing power then it will negatively impact you because you would be losing that voice you had in things and your impact on certain things that you had when you had more power. You wouldn't be as important and your opinion wouldn't be wanted as much anymore.
RELATION TO MY LIFE
My relationships
I have a lot of relationships with older people, which decreases the amount of conflict I have. I also don't have a huge group of friends so my conflict level is substantially lower than most people's are because there's no one to start pointless arguments and such with. Sometimes my family has conflicts with other family members, and they stop talking or they get into huge arguments. Sometimes there's conflict between me and my parents, and we fight and often end on a bad note. Sometimes I cooperate with my parents in order to get some of the things I want or need. Sometimes I try to bribe them to get what I need, but sometimes that ends in conflict as well.
