I don't think that the Arab Spring has failed. Despite, not achieving all of it's original goals I think that it made progress. Progress is better than no progress because it is getting them much closer to the intended outcome. Also, the fact that it changed three regimes and lead to a long lasting civil war shows that it truly has made it's people think about how they want their government to function. Considering the fact that they weren't happy with how the government used to function, but now they have some sort of democracy in three countries I think it was successful.

I believe that the Arab Spring failed but was successful in some ways. I say this because they were able to take one huge step forward by electing Mohamed Morsi. Unfortunately his presidency didn't last long as he was ran out of office by the military. For this reason, I personally believe that the Arab Spring has failed. I also believe that it kindle a fire of hope in those who have lost hope already which is huge deal and can make a huge difference in their fight. A protest against social issue requires a lot of determination and time. Based off of history that I have read, these types of battles won't be easy and will come with lots of struggles but most of the time they group of people who face these certain issue prevail. I believe that they shouldn't be happy with the life they are given and that they should keep fighting and I know if they keep fighting they will eventually push through there dictatorship and finally have the freedom or democracy they deserve.

I think that the movement has a lot of potential, and most likely won't fail in the future. But to answer the question I believe that the Arab Spring has failed in the present date. The goal of the Arab spring was to get the dictators out and establish a democracy. Yes they were able to elect Mohamed Morsi but he didn't last. He ended up getting run out of office by the military. Also Syria is the only country that's really made any progress towards there goal. All other countries in the Middle East still have a dictatorship in power. For these reasons I believe the Arab Spring has failed.

I believe that the original Arab Spring has failed because, as the article stated, "some of the movements achieved their immediate goals of removing dictators, but their wider aims--democracy, human rights, rule of law, and economic growth--now appear more distant than ever." One of the strongest contributing factors to this was that every protester knew the immediate outcome they wanted, but were completely unprepared for how to handle the subsequent fallout. The Arab Spring has even allowed for societal grievances to grow and for deep divides between groups to be highlighted and widened. On the other hand, the Arab Spring has given the world an understanding of the true problems that exist, and can help us ponder how to react, respond to, and act on these issues.

In my opinion the Arab Spring has not failed and has a lot of potential. The one huge downside of the protests is the consequences individuals face. Protestors put their own lives at risk to express their beliefs, and as a result they are often injured or killed. The main positive and the reason why the protests have such great potential for success is the persistency of the protestors. This is because the protestors have informed everyone around the world that they will not back down without reform. This specific quality results in successful protests.

Although the protests in countries such as Egypt or Tunisia spurred on by the Arab Spring have killed many and caused a lot of destruction in their wake, I don't believe that the Arab Spring has failed. It may have not succeeded in overturning the corrupt governments of countries such as Libya, Tunisia, or Egypt, but it has planted a seed in their people's minds not to be complacent with the way things are. Arab Spring represents hope, and when a country is headed towards a path of both moral and economic destruction, hope is one of the most powerful things a citizen can have. There’s no defined time for when protestors have to reach their objective of overturning corruption in their countries, Arab Spring is not a SMART goal; so to say that this movement has failed diminishes the initial motivation of these protests, which were built on a foundation of hope. There’s still a long way to go and in no way am I trying to undermine the destruction and devastation that these citizens have endured, but I feel that by giving up these protests and becoming content with the way things are, the inhabitants of these countries would be giving hope for a better life, which is not the right decision to make.

I believe that the Arab Spring has not completely failed, but the consequences of the protests and rebelling has killed many, and injured more. The bad results outweigh the good, and not many of their goals have been met. However, the government does seem to be losing the hold that they had on their people, and they are trying to overcompensate to get it back with violence.

Personally, I do not think that the Arab Spring has failed completely, but think that in most of the countries the revolution is still in its beginning stages. The protesters that began the Arab Spring demanded change in jobs, health care, and the security to live in peace. Those problems are not ones that can be solved overnight, they take time and require patience. However, Tunisia, Egypt and Libya have accomplished the first step in the revolution: ousting the country's dictator. In the case of Egypt, Egypt has suffered a setback with the arrest of Morsi, the country's first democratically elected president. Although Egypt is currently ruled by its military, hope has not been lost in Egypt. Activists in Egypt have not given up and agree to not give up until they see the government they want and deserve. Although it is disappointing that Morsi was arrested, the reasons behind his arrest were credible and he was hurting the Egyptian people. Egypt is still succeeding at the Arab Spring because a movement has been started and they are in the trial and error section of a revolution.

I don't believe that it has failed completely, but I do think that that not all of the movements within the Arab Spring were successful. If the goal was supposedly to increase democracy and cultural freedom I do not believe it accomplished this task. Many countries have been told to be unstable following this and overall this whole situation seems to have rid of the president and dictators and immediate goals like that, but their human rights and growth in this area seem to be slower and not as constant and present as they used to be. The Arab Spring demolished the idea of dictators and that main goal, but left many stranded and in a bit of backlash involving their rights and economy etc
