Occupy Wall Street is one of the most momentous things that my generation will be able to say they experienced in our lifetime.
A nationally (becoming world wide) dominant movement standing up against corporate greed, while having a common voice to stand for what mass amounts of people believe in is an incredible thing to observe happening. While going to classes first semester, I observed tents, and cardboard box creations that were being occupied by students of the University of Maine–standing for what the same people in New York, Boston, Manhatten, etc… were also standing for (literally standing).
They’ve gotten the attention they’ve demanded and the purpose and reason behind their occupation of the land they stand on is admirable.
Questions that I have of this subject:
1.)There are many people who want this movement to stop, so that they don’t have to change their lifestyles–these people who want the movement to stop are the driving reason behind why it is happening. What moves has this group of people taken so far to try and stop the movement?
2.)What legal responsibilities do the people who participate in the movement have to deal with for standing for what they believe in?
3.) How long will it take before the founding groups of people who started the movement get what they want from this statement they’ve made?
