 While looking for a chart to represent the powers of change, and of youth activism, I came upon this wonderful timeline of the Arab Springs. It takes you on a well-informed tour of every country involved in the middle eastern uprisings. The uprisings in countries such as Syria, Libya, Tunisia, and Egypt are prime examples of youth involvement, albeit dangerous involvement. Thanks to internet connections and other electronic sources, more and more people are becoming aware of what is happening in the world. Information like the chart above, in an aricle by the UK Guardian, are helping to make the whole world an informed network of young and old alike. Revolution, revolutionized.
