Revolution, Education, And Modernization Revolution, Education and Modernization Is revolution an acceptable way to change government? Why or why not?

Revolution in Egypt_ Modern citizens hardly make decisions in a social vacuum. This underscore the role social media plays in determining decisions that people make. Social media influences what modern citizens know and how they feel about it. It therefore plays an integral role in influencing the masses. Trends in groups start after one person has taken a stand.

Egypt The revolution in Egypt of January and February 2011 led to the resignation of the nation's president, Hosni Mubarak.
