Final Structured Response

Throughout this class, I have learned that a social movement of this scale will not be completed in months or even years. It will take time for the Egyptian government to settle and achieve a state of peace and prosperity. Currently, the country is undergoing drastic political changes. As it does so, not all issues can be address and those that are overlooked can spark fractional protest. As Mursi increases his power and influence over the Egyptian courts, the people and even members of his government are beginning to feel more and more uncomfortable with his policies. The written-in constitution has been voted out multiple times and there is a strong sense of political and social uncertainty. As this happens, the civil society developed during the initial revolt begins to fraction and fall apart.The movement in Egypt is no longer one of unity and non-violence. Protests are no longer organized, and it is becoming difficult to tell the difference between vandalism and activism. When united and organized marches are formed, they are partisan and politically charged and segregated.

The most important factor to consider is the realignment of the existing civil society. With such a strong and high strung movement it is important that protesters assimilate back into government structured society because fraction groups in the aftermaths of revolution can become very dangerous and extremist. For the Egyptian government to find peace and consistency it needs to successfully transition from protest to governance, a task that may take years. There is hope for Egypt, however. As a country that has always possessed a strong reverence for the rule of law and a sense of national unity and pride, there is hope that the revolution was not short lived, and true change will come out of the historic revolts.
