Che Guevara and Fidel Castro “saved”
Cuba from dictatorship of military and brought freedom to lower class through
words. After they gained power they “forgot”
about the lower class.

Shows how a person’s words and image can
be a motivator for social change, another example is Martin Luther King

Question brought up: On each side of war everyone thinks that the
war is right and will cause everything to get better. Does war really create change? Or is everything still the same?

o
Perseverance, actions, consistency,
determination, pictures, and symbols
