Global influence: The Arab Spring

Today, I’m going to do a special post about a topic that doesn’t really have to do with the main point of my blog, which is fashion, but it is a very important topic related with our actual world: Internet and digital tools

It is a video about the Arab Spring that, as you can see deeper in the video, it refers to a number of protests, revolutions and citizen’s uprisings in the Arab World during the last two years. These protests were a result of several demographic factors such as hard living conditions, unemployment and corrupt and authoritarian regimes that started to change into repressive governments that did not allow any political opposition, following by lack of freedom, militarization of the countries and lack of infrastructures.
In the video I tried to show, specially, how these social mobilizations have spread to other countries through the Internet as a way of fighting the repression and censorship.
To get in depth here are some webpages where you can find some more information about the Arab Spring:
