Hello all.
In an attempt to reach a wider audience, I have decided to open a my original Tumblog under the same title (found here) on Blogger content management. Hopefully this will give an even broader exposure to the issues I hope to address and increase awareness of human rights in the Middle East.
The main articles I plan on presenting are those that talk about human rights issues reported originally in Arabic and/or those issues that are not receiving wide coverage in major Western media outlets. Why? This is important because it allows us to understand the perspective of those directly affected by human rights abuses in their own language. It also presents the option of gaining insight on a potentially otherwise unknown perspective due to language, cultural, or other barriers due to lack of coverage in our media.
The Internet is the ideal medium for communicating rights abuses in our modern age because no one government or power controls this forum, making it the perfect tool to voice alternative paradigms especially for those whose voices may be marginalized in law or practice.
I hope you enjoy my blogs and they provide you with novel insight!
-Thomas
