Is everyday life perfect? Oh god, no, but I don't live in constant fear of being attacked by a government official. As I learned this week, thanks to the revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt, many citizens lived this way every day. Most of the time, if there is an issue regarding the immediate safety of a U.S. citizen, it gets resolved because it makes national news. The media portrays those involved as evil and governments want to fix the problem so the bad publicity can stop. However, in the case of the Arab Spring, the governments were so corrupt that people could not express their opinions at all. Facebook was the only tool they had. Being a journalism student, my work after university will probably be linked to the freedom of expression I have. To be frank, it scares me that some people in the world don't have the opportunity to express their opinions. Something that would put this week into perspective, I just thank my lucky stars for being born in this country. It could be much worse,
