Democracy in Hong Kong

I have heard news about people striving for democracy in Hong Kong during my stay during winter break. I think it will be a great topic and I should bring it to our class' attention. I have not been catching up to news in Hong Kong lately, so this will also be an opportunity for me to get up-dated. Moreover, since I will be turning 18 next year, when I will be given the authority to vote, this is something that I should be concerned about. I hope that through this exercise I could develop a habit of keeping up with the news and that I could also learn and understand more about my hometown. At first I was assuming that it would be a bit difficult to find information covered by the North America. However, I found quite a bit of information, probably due to the fact that Hong Kong is an international city and this is a big issue in Hong Kong. The largest difference between the North America coverage and media from my home is that media from home can provide more opinions from public, worthies, and even government. Moreover, since it is such a big issue, the coverage in Hong Kong is so fast that there is always news about it almost every day. In the coming months, I will be reading news about the events (e.g. demurral) and present both my own ideas and the latest information on my blog.
