Question Of The Day- Occupy


1. What do you think the “Occupy Wall Street” and other “Occupy” protests are about? What do the protesters want?

According to yes magazine they are trying to you show that the 99% can be powerful actors and that we can come together around our own vision for the world we want. ( 99% It refers to the vast concentration of wealth among the top 1% of income earners compared to the other 99%, and indicates that most people are paying the price for the mistakes of a tiny minority.)


2. Who are the protesters? Describe who you think is protesting.


I think protesters are the ones who have lost their jobs and the others are the ones that support the cause of the 99% movement. And in my opinion is that most of the people there are people suffering from taxes and the economy.

3. Do you support or oppose this movement, and why?

I approve this movement because people are suffering and all they are asking for is help but what they get is pain for exercising their right to protest for something they see is a problem. I really don't approve of the way the government is  handling these protests.

4. Read one article in favor of and one article opposing the Occupy protests. Look on C-Span or CNN for these articles, and write down the links to each article.
