Video Refection

After watching the BBC New's videos, it is clear that Myanmar is far from a democracy. The people, although have been elected, have little to no say in their government. The government is run by the military and the people's protests and ballots have either been ignored or failed. The protests by the people for some reason reminded me of the protests in China when we learned about "tank man". In both cases the people were shot and there cries for a democracy would appear to be in vain.
