Quick Blog #2

 This is an article from Time about a woman named Aung San Suu Kyi (aka the Lady). She is a Nobel peace prize laureate and leader of a movement the National League for Democracy (NLD) whose goal is to democratize the existing Burmese dictators’ and provide a more humane conditions for the Burmese people.
            The article deals with themes of classism and violations of human rights. The Burmese dictatorship is hauntingly cruel toward its people and the lengths to which the interviewer goes to meet with Suu Kyi exemplifies how controlling the government is. 
Below is the site where this article can be found. You can also to www.time.com and type Burma’s First Lady of Freedom in the search engine at the top of the site. Or just cut and paste this URL http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,2039939,00.html
