Violence Vs. Non-violence

History is full of violent revolution. Usually, revolutions begin in a non-violent way, but eventually end up becoming violent. Only a few social movements have remained non-violent throughout. The question for the week is:

When is it permissible for non-violent protests to turn violent? Is it ever appropriate?

Whats happening in Egypt

Its hard to find one video that summarizes what is happening over there well. Instead searched CNN videos of Egyptian protests. SORT BY CNN VIDEOS! The correct link wont copy for some reason so please sort by video. Watch as many as you want... but please watch more than 2 or three.


The further back you go in the videos the further back you go in time. Protest coverage starts around page 16, so start there. That means there are literally hours and hours of videos to watch. Just get a sense of what is going on and what people are saying about it. Its crazy!
