Violence and Revolutions

There were revolutions all throughout the 20th century. Revolutions to make love, not war. Revolutions for civil rights and equality. Revolutions against the Vietnam War. There was plenty of violence involved in all those. Now, with the evolution of media and technology, revolution has only become more risky. More people are able to become more involved and aware of world issues now with social media like Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr. They can voice their opinions and share it with the entire world. With politics, we are kept more up to date on government issues and political rulings than ever before. Because of all this exposure, there are more tendencies for misunderstandings to take place, hence more problems created, resulting in more violence being put into action. Even in seemingly peaceful protests, violence will be taken to keep things under control.
