READ the cover story ("Is This Iran?") from the most recent Upfront. Make a list of a.) questions/leads the article raises for you, b.) connections you can make to other areas of history, and c.) your gut reactions. POST this list to the blog.
Questions:
- Is this what is actually happening in Iran right now, or is it a form of propaganda?
- How reliable are this person's sources?
- Since it's a comic, are there any real pictures to prove this is all actually happening?
Connections:
Violence is like the Taliban fighting the government.
The Nazi's fighting the people who want their rights of freedom.
Hungarian Revolution: The protests defeated by violence from the government.
"Gut Reactions":
The comic and article might be exaggerated or understated because this person's resources may not be completely accurate. If it was all true, then I believe that the people of Iran need some type of liberation. A type of revolution would be ideal, but the "rebels" hardly have the resources and numbers to defeat the government itself. They all want peace and freedom, but they don't have the solution to achieve it yet. Hopefully, they will find some solution soon without too many young teenagers having to perish.
