Answer the following questions:
1. Who is Henrique Capriles?
2. Who is Leopoldo Lopez? What does he have to do with the current protests happening in Venezuela?
3. When did the current political turmoil begin? (What date?)
4. The article states that many of the protestors, especially the ones taking the brunt of the violence, are students from local universities. It seems to be a pattern that students, especially college students, are at the center of many revolutions around the world. Why do you think that this is so?

ReplyDelete1. A two-time presidential candidate urging on and rallying protesters.
2. He was a protest leader who was recently jailed. His arrest angered many of the protesters.
3.February 12th
4. College students have much less to lose. They don't have families and their responsibilities are much smaller, so they can protest without having to worry about the repercussions. Also, college students love to feel a part of something, and feel like they are doing things that matter. Protests make them feel awesome, and bring about change and new ideas, so it is a win-win for everybody.

ReplyDelete1. Henrique Cariles is a two-time presidential candidate.
2. Lopez was a protester. He roused the opposition was the defeat in the mayors election.
3. February 12th
4. I think the college students are at the center of it is because their generation is going to be the one most effected by it. They also have different ways they think the government should be run in order to help them and the upcoming generation.

ReplyDeleteHenrique Capriles is a two-time presidential candidate who told citizens to urge the government to resolve inflation based problems. Leopoldo Lopez is a risky mayor of Caracas, Lopez is involved in the current protests because he, takes to the streets instead of helping the poor. The current state of inflation started on February 12th by opposition marches. I believe that youth is protesting because they realize what happens now is their future and will affect them in their lifetime and already is.
Henrique Capriles is a Man who urges supporters to keep pressuring the government of Venezuela and solve problems in the government. Leopoldo Lopez is a man who has been jailed by the Venezuelan government because he proclaimed protests after a defeat in the December elections prior to last Saturday when this political turmoil began. It seems to be that college students are at the center of revolutions around the world, I believe that this could be because of young people's desire to have a better functioning government and strong economy for the overall future of themselves.

1.) A 2 time presidential candidate
ReplyDelete2.) A hard-liner who brought out the opposition following its defeat in December's mayoral elections, and dozens of other student activists.
3.)February 12
4.) I think that is so because they're now realizing that this is their future that is being toiled with, and they don't want to live in a world where they cannot do what they want to do, or prevented from doing it. They want a good economy that allows them to do what their heart tells them to do, and doing something they love. They're taking a stand for their own future.

Henrique Capriles is a two time presidential candidate. Leopoldo Lopez is a activist he helped lead protests in Venenzuela which led to his arrest. The current political turmoil began on February 12. The young people want to make things better for the years ahead of them. If it means protesting so be it.

ReplyDeleteHenrique Capriles is a two time presidential candidate, who is against
the current government of Ukraine. Leopoldo Lopez is a hard-liner who arose
opposition of the government and was jailed. The current political turmoil began
on February 12 with huge protest marches in Venezuela. Students are at the
center of revolutions because they want to revolt against wrong, so when they
grow up they can live in a better world.

ReplyDeleteHenrique Capriles is the 41 year-old two-time presidential candidate of Caracas, Venezuela. Leopoldo Lopez is a major part in the protests going on. He was put in jail. He has instigated a lot of the violence. Everything started February 12 of this year with a march. I think it is because college students are very opinionated. Most are just beginning to form opinions on current events all over the world. They want to show everyone that their opinions really do matter.
Henrique Capriles is a two time presidential candidate for the president of Caracas, Venezuela. Leopoldo Lopez is a man who was in jail and he is someone who aroused opposition following the defeat of a protest. He has something to do with the protests today because he is one of the men who aroused one of the first protests. The current political turmoil began February 12th. College students are probably more active in revolutions around the world because they want better for their children, who are the next generation and now that they have more means than they did say 50 years ago.

Henrique Capriles is a two-time presidential candidate that urged supporters to keep pressuring the government to resolve problems afflicting the oil-rich nation. Leonardo Lopez is a fiery hard-liner who roused the opposition following its defeat in December's mayoral elections. He has to do with the current protests going on in Venezuela because Capriles criticized Lopez's strategy of taking to the streets without building support among the poor. Lopez was accused of fomenting the violence. The current political turmoil began on February 12. College students are usually at the center of many revolutions because they are just getting out into the world and understanding how things are going. Since they are just figuring it all out, they don't want anything to change because, then, they'll have to start over and learn an entirely different thing.

ReplyDeleteHenrique Capriles is a two-time presidential candidate in Venezuela. Leopoldo Lopez is a fiery hard-liner who brought the opposition following its defeat in December's mayoral elections and more student activists. He is also a violent protest leader, when he protests people get hurt. The current political turmoil began on February 12(my birthday lol). College students are at their prime and they are easily persuading and this is the time for them to find who they are and so leaders can take advantage of them and use them for their own help.

Henrique Capriles is a two-time presidential candidate that urged supporters to keep pressuring the government to resolve problems. Leopoldo Lopez is a fiery hard-liner that roused the opposition which followed the protest's defeat in December's mayoral elections, and dozens of other student activities. The political turmoil began on February 12. I think that students are at the center of many revolutions around the world because they are the ones that are most active in today's society, and in the present world, it seems that these generations are the ones that are becoming more open to the idea of violence.

Henrique Capriles is a two-time presidential candidate from Venezuela who is urging protesters to continue pressuring the government. One of those protesters is Leopoldo Lopez, who was jailed for sparking the movement which began on February 12th. Many students are getting involved in the revolution for the same reason the Bourgeois was involved in the French Revolution; it takes literate and capable minds to tear apart a government these days. Viva Revolution.

Henrique Capriles is a two-time presidential candidate who supports the protesters. Leopaldo Lopez was a protest leader who got put in jail. The current political turmoil in Venezuela was started on February 13, 2014. I think that college students often end up at the center of revolutions because they are educated and can see the harm that oppression does, they are old enough to go out to protests, andare young enough that they are actually willing to go to protests.

Abby Nelson-
ReplyDeleteHenrique Capriles is someone who was criticizing the strategy of the things going on in the streets. Leopoldo Lopez had a strategy of going into the streets without building support of the poor. He is basically the one with the ideas of the things in the streets. This began on February 12, 2014. I think this is so because college students now think they have a mind of their own and want to speak up.
1. Henrique Capriles is a Venezuelan politician/lawyer and from 2000-2008 was the mayor of Baruta municipality.
ReplyDelete2. Leopoldo Lopez is a fiery hard-liner who roused the opposing side. Because of him and the fact that he roused the opposing side 10 people from each side are dead and more than 100 people have been injured.
3. The political turmoil began February 12.
4. College students are the cause of these revolutions because they are young and haven't really experienced the world. Therefore they have ideas of how it can be better and those ideas push them to react to the world in this way.
