Egyptian Revolution
==== Ignited in 2011, several revolutional movements were sparked as a campaign of nonviolent civil resistance movements to protest the reign of cruel dictators and oppressive governmental control. The demonstrators crossed political, social and economic backgrounds in order to unite to accomplish a common goal of gaining freedoms that they were not guaranteed. The Egyptian Revolution was one of the first movements to receive media attention. I chose this topic because it is a present day example of a country uniting under a common goal and principle to cause positive change. It relates to the Civil Rights Movement that was a major event during the 1950's and 1960's. The disciplinary perspectives that I will examine are the political and media aspects of the topic. ==== -Erica Coward
