America vs. Syria By Brian Medrano Pd: 2

-Syria is located in the Middle East/west Asia -it is surrounded by Turkey, Iraq, and Jordan -Syria also boarders Lebanon -Syria's capital is Damascus

 87% of the population of Syria are Muslim(74% Sunni, 13% Shia), the rest are 10% Christian and 3% Druze  90% Percent of the total population, the rest are Kurds, Assyrians/Syriacs, Armenians, Circassians, and Syrian Turkmen  Male dominated in protests

 The purpose for these protests are to overthrow the Ba’ath Party who. Their current leader Bashar Al Assad, who his political party has been in power for more then 30 years  Ba’ath had banned all opposing party candidates to run for presidential elections

 Since 1963, Syria had passed an emergency law that pretty much took away all constitutional rights from its citizens. Gave security forces a large amount of power.  Basher had failed to improve Human rights for its citizens since he came to power

 Most males that are in the crowds of protesters are unemployed  Since Al-Assad was in power, the rates of job opportunities slowly declined while the need for jobs increased

 This is similar to the American revolution because both protesters are against the parties that they are being governed by.  Both felt that the government were being unfair and treated its people in an unfair manner.  Both had their own “loyalists” and “patriots”

Communications and technology are must more advanced in the Syrian Revolution then then American Revolution. Thus having news spread faster and uniting people outside the country.

 I believe that the people of Syria will have a rocky long road ahead of them if they succeed to overthrow Ba’ath  The people of Syria will go through many drastic changes to the government and will often have to change it  If they have a form of “checks and balances”, then the Syrian people might actually have a chance to improve its situation
