Video Reflection

The videos presented the past situation in Burma while evaluation the progress that has been achieved. The very video highlights an important political figure named Aung San Suu Kyi. She is head of a political party in Myanmar that promotes democracy and civil rights. As head of the political party, she inspires thousands to stand up against authoritarian rule, and her story makes her message even more special. Since she was imprisoned for standing up against military rule, it shows her passion to not give in to the military government but to instead fight for freedom. The second video showed how things in Myanmar have changed over decades. The reformers, who are now middle aged men and women, acknowledge that there has been a lot of progress in the strive for democracy. However, it can be said that there is much more to be done, and their are high hopes for a democratic Burma.
