1. Let’s have a debate: Do you think the Mexican government should censor narcocorridos on the radio? Give your reasoning and, if possible, cite some evidence or find a quote from the Ragland reading (or elsewhere) to support your point. Other ways to contribute to the discussion: can you think of any other examples of government censorship of music? Or other music or movies that portray organized crime? What effect do you think these have had? Please post your own thoughts, and if you wish, a link to an example that supports your argument.
2.According to Cathy Ragland, who is the audience for norteño music specifically (as opposed to conjunto) and what are some reasons that it is important to them?
