A New Beginning for the Middle East!

                  Now a day, some people in the Middle East are fighting against the president or the government for democracy in their countries. What does democracy mean for these people? Democracy is freedom for them. From my viewpoint, they are right, and I will explain what they are doing for freedom.

                  First of all, people are fighting for democracy. For example, in Egypt, people pulled their president down because he was harming the democracy. They are right to do that for freedom, which is the democracy. Everyone got mad because of his authoritarian to control over the country. As a result, people ousted him from his place as president.

                  Second, people are fighting their governments for freedom. For instance, in Tunisia, there was a guy who was selling some fruits and vegetables by cart on the streets. After all, the government did not give him a place to sell, and he needed to sell and get some money to buy his mother’s medicine. After that, the government arrested him because he did not have a certificate to sell fruits and vegetables. He got so mad. He caught himself on fire and died because he was so sick of the government. As a result, this event raised chaos, which led to a revolution against the authoritarian government. Now, Tunisia has gained democracy and freedom.

                  Little by little, democracy in spreading throughout the Middle East. Authoritarian leaders are being kicked of the Middle East. I have never thought I would witness so much change. This is a new beginning for the development in the Middle East.
