Arab Spring
The Arab spring is taken place parts of North Africa and in the Middle East. It is the result of many people who are tired of being ruled by under a dictatorship. The uprising has affects on other countries. Such as, Libya, Egypt, and Syria, who have faced dilemmas. Many of their people have been arrested, severely injured, and even killed. Arab spring is a good cause because people are standing up for what they believe in and it has effects on the United States, due to oil companies that are in the Middle East and other parts of North Africa. For many years people in parts of Northern Africa and the Middle East have been controlled by dictators. Dictators in these countries like Libya, Egypt, Tunisia, and other Arab countries have been in power for more than ten years. This makes it harder to remove them from power. And the people in these countries are fed up with the dictatorship and are willing to have a democratic government. Dictators’ have been resorting to use forceful tactics on their people to keep their power. Most of the dictators are retaliating against the rebellions by threatening them and using vigorous procedure to get the unwilling support of the people.

It caused Syria president to retaliate back at his people for rebelling. Another example is
