proposal

social justice is always a tough subject to touch on. but we all know what social justice is when we see it because all of us have souls and a sense of right and wrong on topics that involve social justice. Just like in "The Ones Who Left Omelas" where they left all of the pain and aggony on a young boy who had no choice in the situation just so the rest of the people can live happily. 
for my digital story proposal, i will explore how Facebook and twitter helped out the country of Egypt by using the use of social media to set them free from the dictatorship of Hosni Mubarak. facebook groups like "we are all Khaled Sadeed" and twitter updates and trends to spread the word about the injustice going on in Egypt until the government shut down internet connections in the country to hide itself from the world. people have even go as far as to say that this social media uprising started the revolution in Egypt. http://www.theatlanticwire.com/global/2011/01/the-twitter-revolution-debate-the-egyptian-test-case/21296/
