The Revolution Of The Egyptian Revolution

Secondly, the methods of rebellion, the government’s response to the rebellion, and the outcome of both revolutions were alike. One method of rebellion that was prominent in both revolutions was peaceful protest. In the Egyptian Revolution, that lasted 18 days, people peacefully set up tents in Tahrir square to protest Mubarak presidency. One example when the Americans peacefully protested in the American Revolution was when the British implemented the tea act, that put taxes on tea to help the British East India Company financially survive. The Americans peacefully protested by not buying tea. The response by the government in both revolutions were similar they were both destructive (America revolution was also peaceful and destructive but

As a middle eastern, I did not realize how much Facebook was considered a main role in these uprising and how it was reported here in the U.S. and the west. These uprisings were not just a result of a “Facebook revolution,” but the thousands of people who took to the streets and protested against dictators and demanded change. As someone who lived there, I believe that the political, religious, and economic problems were there already and Facebook was a tool that happened to be accessible to help protesters organize. It certainly was not a main factor in these revolutions. As a matter of fact Facebook was also used and still being used by governments to spread propaganda. In the Syrian conflict Facebook, twitter, and video platforms like YouTube are being used by terrorist groups like ISIS to spread their radical ideology and even reach like-minded people in the west. This was not possible few years ago and is definitely an example of how social media could play a negative role in

Many times when people revolt against the government, it leaves the country in a worse spot that it was before. Throughout history there have been many revolutions in many different places. Two of the most significant have been the American Revolution, from the 1700’s, and more recently the Egyptian revolution from 2011. Both of these revolutions have many similarities within each other, but they also have many actions to contrast. The topics being compared include; how the revolutions started. The demands of the revolting groups. Lastly, what the two groups did to protest against the government.

Wednesday, April 13th authorities took custody of the Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and his two sons, Gamal and Alaa. He is being held in Sharm el-Sheikh while authorities investigate his political crimes over the past thirty years, illicit gain, corruption allegations and particularly the deaths of hundreds of protesters during the uprising. Officials reported, Mubarak was not in the best of health after announcing he would not run for re-election, a precedent to his heart-attack during interrogation last Thursday. Mubarak is currently undergoing interrogation in an Sharm el-Sheikh hospital. Protesters worked continually during their three months of rallies and demonstrations to speak out against Mubarak's thirty year reign of

“For nothing irrational or fabulous or prompted by superstition, as some believe, was embodied in the religious services, but ideas which either had moral and necessary causes or were not devoid of historical or physical plausibility” (De Iside et Osiride. Plutarch. 8.353e).

When you compose a history paper on the Egyptian Revolution of 2011 it is critical that you introduce appropriate proof. You likewise need to ensure that the confirmation you exhibit supports your contention. When you make a specific point, you require proof with a specific end goal to support your argument. Confirmation can be found as books composed by specialists in your point or field. It can likewise be found in magazines, created by non-benefit associations, distributed in diaries. Both essential and auxiliary sources are critical in light of the fact that they offer you some assistance with going more profound into your point or explain upon the contention you are making. With

A revolution is a series of events where there’s a large amount of people who change a structure. The American Revolution, French Revolution, and Egyptian Revolution of 2011 were all just that. The American, French and Egyptian Revolution were all times were these countries changed. The Egyptian, American, and French Revolutions were each more different than similar.

A YouTube video of the self-immolation spread very quickly and sparked outrages across most of the Arab world. Social Media was used to criticize the government, stage protests and ultimately organize opposition groups in Libya, Egypt, Syria, and Tunisia. People were able to unite in ways that they could not have before social media existed. Throughout this revolutionary wave, rulers were forced from power in areas including Yemen, Egypt, Libya, and Tunisia. Journalist Carol Huang from The National, a newspaper in the Middle East, reported that, “During the protests in Egypt and Tunisia, the vast majority of 200-plus people surveyed said they were getting their information from social media sites (88 percent in Egypt and 94 percent in Tunisia)” (Huang

A perfect storm of unfavorable conditions laid the foundation for political unrest in the Middle East that would eventually ignite a pattern of revolutions in the region known as the Arab Spring. Although there are many components that comprised the desire for revolution, it was worsening economic conditions that played the vital role in beginning and driving these uprisings. Egypt’s January 25th uprising provides a classic example. Long hailed as a model for its implementation of economic neoliberal policies by many institutions such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF), it may seem ironic that Egypt’s economic conditions were such a catalyst for the uprising. Yet, it was the neoliberal policies of Egypt that brought about conditions for economic unrest. The

Two revolutions, 250 years apart, were both started for noble causes in an effort to right human wrongs. The results of these two revolts that appear in the History books will be sadly different. Economically and politically, the causes that resulted in the Colonial Revolution and the Egyptian Revolution appear to be similar; however, further study reveals that the Egyptian Revolution stands in stark and dreadful contrast to the Colonial Revolution both in preparedness and outcome.

Never known for being a pillar of peace, the Middle East has always been rife with turmoil. However, in 2011 this turmoil was super-charged, as several nations experienced civil uprising. Citizens of Algeria, Iraq, Kuwait, Jordan, Morocco, and Oman, mobilized, forming massive protests. Heads of state in Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, and Yemen were stripped of their powers and removed. Even more developed nations like Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and Sudan experienced protests, albeit minor during the Arab Spring. (The National.AE, 2011) Objectives in each area varied, but civil liberties violations and economic grievances were primary concerns among protestors. What’s unique about the Arab Spring, is that activities and information was often shared between participants via social media. Cheers and encouragement were also doled out via social media by individuals and groups in other countries. (Kesselman, 2016 page 487)

The 2011 uprising in Egypt was in many ways a traditional brick-and-mortar revolution, but with a cyber-twist to it: based on their statistical analysis of a large body of tweets related to the 2011 uprising in Egypt, Starbird and Palen (2012) observed that activists used Twitter as an important tool to share ideas and information with like-minded people, because Twitter allows a high number of activists interact using its retweet and other mechanisms. In this case, Twitter was used among participants and supporters of a traditional mass movement to bypass government controlled

Most individuals who were involved in the protests were led by the belief that it was through the protests that they could better their lives. The majority of the Egyptian citizens have felt down, trodden and despised over the recent years by their governments. Most governments were revolts were witnessed had stayed in power for a long period of time. In Egypt, for example, Mubarak had stayed in power for more than 40 years. Removing him from powered through democratic means had borne no fruits since most presidential elections had been marred by instances or rigging and corruption. He had therefore instituted himself as a president for life. One aspect of Mubarak’s governments was that it was dictatorial. Besides, the people surrounding Mubarak were so powerful that talking negatively about the president could easily lead an individual into trouble.

When one thinks of ancient Egyptian times, one thinks of Pharaohs like Cleopatra and Tutankhamun. However, none of these, nor others chose to do the impossible, except one; Akhenaten. Akhenaten is described by historians as a religious fanatic, a people’s leader, an astute national ruler and even a madman because he revolutionised Egypt in his seventeen-year rule (1317 BC – 1334 BC). A revolution is a forcible overthrow of a government or social order, in favour of a new system, this describes Akhenaten because he changed how Egypt was ruled. Akhenaten’s reign, though short, caused dramatic social and religious changes. He was markedly different in is approach to Egypt’s ruling and personality in comparison to past Pharaohs which can be attributed to a childhood of being shunned. He should be known as the Rebel Revolutionist because he achieved many great things in such a small timespan.

Contemporary social movements such as Arab Spring and Kony 2012 use the Internet and social media as potential tools towards change. But why are some more successful than others. This paper argues that when news outlets see the potential for change, they “premediate” (Richard Grusin) its possibilities, and make that change ever more possible in their coverage. On the other hand, extant stories that are more reactionary do not get the same amount of new exposure, and remain static. In other words, our media - not just social media, but news organizations - play a great role in shaping current events. I will compare and contrast the unfolding of the Arab Spring story, and how little changed regarding Kony 2012, as cases in point.
