ESSAY TOPIC:
Based on your examination of primary sources, explain the events that led to the recent fall of the Egyptian government. Describe the causes of the protests. Analyze the reasons the protests were successful. Predict what you think will happen next. Compare conditions in Egypt with our own economy, culture, and systems of government to determine whether nonviolent protest can make such a dramatic difference in 21st century America. Agree/disagree with the statement popularized by the protests: "Innaharda, ehna kullina misyreen." Be sure to cite sources where appropriate.
