Causes of “Arab Spring” | Current Affairs CSS 2015 Solved Paper

causes of Arab Spring

Question: What are the causes of “Arab Spring”? Identify their impacts on the future politics of the region.

Introduction

At the end of 2010 and the beginning of the 2011, a series of demonstrations and protests began to rise in the Arab world. These protests have become known as the “Arab Spring”, or, as someone else called it, the “Arab awakening”. The Tunisian revolution that took place in the self-immolation of Mohamad Bouazizi on 18 December 2010 in protest of police corruption and ill treatment, has shaken authoritarian leaders across the Arab world in areas such as Egypt, Libya, Yemen, Bahrain. In this article we will try to answer the following question: why did the Arabs rebel? The Arab world was living a very difficult economic and social situation as in Europe in 1848. Poverty, rising food prices, inflation, human rights violation, and high unemployment were the main phenomena the Arabs were facing.

Role of Education in Character Building of a Nation (CSS Current Affairs 2015)

(CSS Current Affairs Paper 2015)

Question: What is the role of education in character building of a nation? Highlight major pitfalls in Pakistan’s educational systems.

Introduction

Education, if looked at beyond its conventional boundaries, forms the very essence of all our actions. What we do is what we know and have learned, either through instructions or through observation and assimilation.
