By Kayley ErlandsonThere has been a lot of unrest in middle-eastern countries. Even people who don’t follow the news every day have heard about the protests happening overseas. The Egyptian leader recently stepped down from his position and there are still many protests in other Middle-Eastern countries.
I don’t know if I understand all of the thought processes behind the protesters, especially since they’re from different countries, but it is obvious that they’re trying to change something they don’t like about their respective country. I heard that the social networking site Facebook played a role in helping rally people for the protests. Maybe it’s a coincidence that these protests are happening now, once social networking sites are popular and draw people together and that countries that have stayed virtually the same, politically, for so many years are finally seeing some desire to change the system.
You are exactly right about these protests. I don't give any crap about any politics but even I heard of these. It is interesting what you said about facebook. It really does show how widely facebook is used.
ReplyDeleteValid point Kayley! The political unrest in the Middle-Eastern countries is tough to understand. I definitely could live my life just fine without knowing anything about places outside of North America. God Bless America, land that I love, stand beside her, and guide her through the night with a light from above!
