Real World Report

Everyday we go through life and on the news or in the newspaper we always see things about the problems and activity in our community. But what is happening outside of our communities? Right now in Hong Kong there are protestors outside the government buildings. These protestors have been camping outside of these buildings telling Leung Chun-Ying, the territory of Beijing executive, that they want him to resign if he doesn't they will take over several of the government buildings. Obama and the United States have been told to stay out of this conflict and China work out their international affairs. Though they have been told this Obama has been keeping a close eye to see if there might be something he can do because he hopes China can settle this peacefully.

The people in Beijing are trying to reach out to those who run their country. But, these people were ignored and decided to take the matters into their own hands and are trying to reach out and make their voices heard. I think that though this is very brave and good for these people I believe there may be a downfall. When people protest, those who have more power want to stop them because of the bad attention they will get. So, already they have called the police and the police have sprayed tear gas and other things to try and get rid of this issue. This can cause many people to become injured or hurt. And though many people can get injured or hurt, by protesting and bringing attention the issue it will start to be questioned and may eventually get better.

Though this issue is not taking place in our own country we should care about this matter because the resolve in this situation may help us in the future. As we know there are always protests going on and many protests are similar. If we can use the past conflicts and their resolves to help us furthermore, I think that would be great. We could find better ways to be fair and keep in mind the peoples opinion. The people in Beijing thought their opinions were not being noticed and so they tried to help themselves. As we continue to grow more and more people will start to think like this, they will start to think for themselves and this is a good thing. But its the actions people take after that is the danger and not everyone can handle things peacefully.
