Arab+Spring,+Andres+Isasi

=**Arab Spring by Andres Isasi**= People have looked over what has happened in the Arab Spring for many reasons. But, more people should know because this has been one of the most violent regional revolutions in a long time. With around 50,000 people dead in less than 2 years, it is quite disturbing, but what's even more disturbing is that people //still//don't know just how bad it is over in the Middle East. So, what I want to do is show the violence happening in the Arab Spring so people actually recognize things are worse than what the media says. I'll show this with a timeline, summary, and a few pictures. Women protesting for government changes. Demonstrators protesting in six separate countries In summary, the Arab Spring has happened solely for good reasons. Those reasons can be human rights, very much needed government changes, or littler things like the right for students to vote or not. Sadly, it is still going on, and things have only gotten more violent with certain revolutions like Syria where the army guns down children or women are sexually abused. But, in the end, it will be worth it. Arab Spring sign that spreads awareness
