Congrats on your nomination! I loved how your article educates about the current sensorship happening in Nicaragua. Sadly, these things are hardly talked about when it is actually happening! It makes me so sad to hear that the news papers are practicially empty. Sensorship like this makes all forms of art and expression disappear. I hope the people of Nicaragua are able to regain their civil rights.

Congratulations on your nomination! I thought this topic was very interesting and I am glad you decided to write about an issue that is not talked about as much as it should be. I believe this issue should be talked about more because it involves our international relations with a country we the United States is allies with. This article not only discusses that we stand and advocate for freedom of speech and democracy but discusses the clear issue that Nicaragua has. I really enjoyed the images you used, I believe it brought the article together and brought great imagery. Again, Congratulations on your nomination! Fantastic article!

Great job on this article, Mariana! You could tell that you are passionate about this subject, and with good reason! This issue is something that more people need to know about. It is so sad to hear the strife that Nicaragua and other Latin American countries suffer because of harsh rulers and governmental leaders. Reading this made me all the more grateful that we have freedom of speech in the United States, but also a desire to take a stand since the Nicaraguan government hasn’t listened to its people yet.

Great job, such a well-articulated article with plenty of information for the reader. These issues are hardly spoken of in-depth and reading this article gives insight of what people of Nicaraguan deal with on a daily basis. Thank you for providing images of the rally they do a great job showing how many people in Nicaragua show up.

Mariana did a great job on her article! You were able to convey your enthusiasm for the topic, and with good cause! There is a need for more individuals to be aware of this problem. Hearing about the conflict that Nicaragua and other Latin American nations experience due to oppressive dictators and political figures makes me very sad. Reading this made me even more appreciative of the freedom of expression we enjoy in the United States and inspired me to take a position because the Nicaraguan government hasn’t yet heeded the calls of its citizens.

Congrats on your nomination as this is such a great article. It is so sad to see what happened in Nicaragua and it honestly just makes you think how grateful we are to be living in a society where our government doesn’t suppress us in this way. It is important for us to be educated on a topic such as this because I had never known about the government being so harsh and so many people being killed. You did such a great job on your article keep it up!

This article was really captivating Mariana! The use of images kept me interested throughout, and I learned something new that I had never heard of before. It’s great to have access to so much information through these kinds of articles. I was shocked to learn about some of the events that happened in Nicaragua, and I appreciate that this topic was brought to light. Congratulations on your nomination, well deserved! It’s important to discuss issues outside of the United States, especially when it concerns our allies and advocating for democracy and freedom of speech.

Hello! Congratulations on your nomination and publishing a great article! I love that this article gives an immense amount of insight to what the government in Nicaragua is like. It is articles such as this one that brings awareness to current events in countries many people may not be familiar with. In bringing this awareness to people, a change can begin taking its first steps. Great job!

Great work! This does a good job in highlighting the devastating effects of economic sanctions on the people of Nicaragua. Very clear view and analysis of the political and economic factors at play. Both informative and thought-provoking.

The article points out that freedom of speech is not a fundamental right to other countries. The people of Nicaragua are kept in the dark about the truth of their local, national, and global events. It is interesting that such a basic right can be such a basic necessity especially in a country whose government may be withholding valuable information for their progress. It is great to know, however, that younger generations will carry the responsibility to make their voices be known.
