Arab spring

The Arab spring is an example of how the pressed will innovate to ensure the needed change to regain their lost rights. This movement was a chain reaction that began in a small town were the corruption was to great which caused many more to rebel. This event can be explained by the conflict theory because the social difference over came many difficulties and even resembles the reasons for many other revolutions. The success of the movement can be seen as part of the relative deprivation theory but in reality it matches more with the resource mobilization theory because of how it was successful and the union of the different classes that felt the operation and used their resources to ensure the movements efficiently     

                The Arab spring was the result of a wide spread event in which a young seller burned himself because he could no longer withstand the corruption of the police. Based on the fact that the event was not reported many manifested with the discontent of not knowing why did they allow something so horrible to happen and in the end the authorities made a violent assault that was filled allowing many to see the corruption. The events inspired those with a higher social level to help them this lead to useful resources like intelligent people who had ideas of how to make the movement successful. The triumph of the movement lead to a similar revolution to happen in Egypt the largest difference was that not all had the access to the internet and cell phones. They were able to overcome the disadvantage as did all the other future movements.

                According to the conflict theory the oppression to a group by reducing the resources will lead to a revolution. This can be seen as each of these countries was depraved from freedom of speech and unfair treatment. This can be seen in the origins and the strengthening presses that helped the revolution to begin and to succeed. Over all the opening that allowed the Arab community to see how unfair they were treated was unmistakably the endurance that the dictators could not defeat the movement’s success. According to Marx the movement happened because those with recourse were not balanced with those that work.

The mobilization theory states that the success of a movement is directly dependent on the ability to move the resources that are people, smart people and other crucial components for a revolution. This is seen as the success was the communication between those that had a good concept of how to ensure the success of the moment and those needed to ensure. Even when Egypt did not have enough support from those that were able to have the needed knowledge were later helped by the original revolutionary movement.

The overall success proves that even when the connection disconnects us from others in real life it aids the connection to those who we would not expect help.  As the life’s were taken it is a reminder of how people are willing to sacrifice their lives to ensure freedom over the oppressing hand of corruption.  Even in the darkest moments there is light in the theories of who and why this movements start and end because they state we can all work for it.
