Revolution

In mentor session, we were asked, "What is a revolution?" and also "What is NOT a revolution?" I personally struggled with this topic, but I finally wrote something. I wrote that a revolution is a life-changing event. The other people in class had a lot of good ideas too. We decided that a revolution is a big thing that affects a large amount of people. It was also interesting to think about the word "revolution" in terms of a wheel turning.

Most of the class got stuck when it came to the question of, "What is NOT a revolution?" However, when we thought about the opposites of what WAS a revolution, it was simple. A small change that does not affect many people is not a revolution. Something that doesn't last for a long period of time is not a revolution. And an event that does not make a drastic change in people's lives is not a revolution.
