Current Events Blog

When searching through blogs I found one by Kathrine Gottsegen who apparently is one of many who blogs on this "current events" blog. I think it may be for a class or job of somekind, but obviously is the work of ordinary citizens. She expressed her concern over the human rights issues in Saudi Arabia and the segregation against women. These women were promised new rights by the king Abdulla, but apparently there is still punishment for women who even dare to drive a car. She obviously felt this was very unjust and mentioned how in the U.S. we often take our rights for granted. Then she mentioned something interesting about a Saudi Arabian women she talked to who said there is too much freedom in the U.S. I thought it would have been interesting to explore that idea further and look at why too much freedom can be seen as a bad thing by the oppressed, but the author didn't give this any more thought.
