One of the articles that I read was "Thai Leaders Declare State of Emergency in Bangkok By Thomas Fuller" The prime Minister of Bangkok Thailand issued a state of emergency last Tuesday January 21st 2014. By issuing a state of Emergency in Bangkok this is to say that the Prime Minister is using a more forceful stance against protesters who have been swarming the streets of Bangkok for the last two or so months. Some of the protesters have been swarming around officials offices so that they can't get into the office. In addition people are swarming major streets and having marches and demonstrations. By declaring a state of emergency in Bangkok this allows for curfews to be enforced, censor the news media, and to use the military in order to enforce order in Bangkok. The Prime Minister said that it was crucial to demand a state of emergency due to the fact that people have blocked official offices and also banks which is illegal. In addition to people blocking official offices and banks people have harassed government officials. By instituting the state of emergency it allows Thailand to move forward and also allows the democratic process to move forward. The picture above demonstrates the protest going on in the streets of Bangkok. 
The other article that I read was “Social media 'major' protest medium by Local News" Occurring to the Bangkok Post Mr. Teera expects that the base of communication amongst the protesters and the officials will be mainly by social media. The type of social media that Mr. Teera thinks will be used will be national television as well as major newspapers. In the recent year some of the most common use of social media includes Line and Facebook. Line and facebook have emerged from only being used as a Communication application to being one of the top mega platforms. I think that both of these articles demonstrate how much unrest is going on in Bangkok, Thailand. Hopefully the unrest will calm down and people will stop trying to overthrow the government.
