Why social media needs to be taught in high school | VentureBeat | Social | by Ronnie C... - 0 views

This article is slightly more off topic, but a great discussion either way. This article argues that social media and or "cyber-security" classes should be taught to high schoolers. I feel like this relate to my topic due to the large demographic of young people involved in the Egyptian Revolution. Although certain technologies might not have been available or were frowned on, learning about social media earlier in Egypt could've gotten the messages out way faster. I also feel like proper education for all people around the world would help prevent people from falling victim to false information on the internet and the agendas behind them. Being able to identify a threat is important in any situation, and although Egyptians used social media to fight against the regime, it later had very negative backlash, full of lies.

Egypt's "Poor Revolution"? - 0 views
-
This week, the country's judicial system came under fresh scrutiny after refusing to reinstate 138 state prosecutors who recently graduated from law school, but whose parents lacked university degrees. The September 2013 ruling is an example of the institutionalized classism in Egypt that many are unhappy with. Due to the policies of Sisi, the Dhank movement arose in protest by the poor who demand to be heard. Although this movement has been previously associated with the Muslim Brotherhood and thus not very popular, it could be the beginning of a broader mobilization of the poor in Egyptian politics. The head of the Garbage Collector's Union warned that if the president ignores these movements, there could be a "revolution of the hungry."
