I know we had this just two days before… But it happened that Sandra and I prepared an article with the same topic at exactly the same time. She was a bit faster in publishing it \ud83d\ude42 I just thought about deleting mine, but as I research more and more, the topic really seems to be interesting and for a lot of people as well pretty important.<\/p>\n
Just a word to some comments that came in via facebook: No, this is not a political website, neither are we trying to brainwash your opinions. We just want to let you participate in German cultur, events and language. So, if there\u00b4s a movement going on, or the media are reporting about a special subject, this could also be interesting for you, no?<\/p>\n
But now let\u00b4s start with the actual post:<\/p>\n
I guess a lot of you readers are living in the USA, so I think you are familiar with the term Occupy Wall Street.<\/p>\n
For those who are not:<\/p>\n
Einerseits (On the one hand), Occupy Wall Street is a protestation where Demonstranten (demonstrators\/protesters) are occupying Zucotti Park in Lower Manhattan since September 17th 2011. They renamed it \u201eLiberty Plaza\u201c. This event was getting a Vorbild (paradigm) for similar actions in numerous cities in the USA and even worldwirde.<\/em><\/p>\n Andererseits (On the other hand) it is a synonym for the so called Occupy-Wall-Street-Movement.<\/em><\/p>\n The movement denunciates soziale Ungerechtigkeit (social injustice) in the United States and sees itself as the 99% of the Bev\u00f6lkerung (population) that will not longer accept the Gier (greed) and corruption of the other 1%. Criticism is against the powerful influence on politics and legislation by rich Americans as well as a policy that sympathizes too much with banks and the economic system in general. With a long-term Besetzung (occupation) of the Wall Street, changes should be provoked.<\/em><\/p>\n
