Tragic Death
The video of Neda's death on youtube was incredibly shocking. It showed the brutal death of Neda, a young Iranian teenager who took part in a protest that took place in Iran. The graphic images were not the reason why I was shocked but it was the first time that I saw live footage of someone being killed for being a part of a protest movement. I have always heard of people being killed and hurt for the sake of justice but witnessing it was something that I never had done before. It said in the video that "one voice of a girl became the shouts of millions worldwide." Although it may be wrong to say this, I believe that her death had more meaning than her presence at the protest where people finally witnessed the horrors of injustices around the world.

So true, and it is unfortunate that people have had to risk their lives and even lose their lives for justice. Its unfortunate to know that to change things society must go that far to make change happen. What can people do to change this? Is it necessary to go that far to make changes happen or are there options available that are not so brutal?
