Today I saw two posts with some of the same information but very different slants about student protests in Chile. The one from the New York Times presents the movement as a kind of love-in, while the one from Al-Jazeera presents a much more conflictful image. Warning: the Times limits the number of articles you can read without a description to 20 per month, so if you go to the Times's link you use up one of your chits.
Take a look, and perhaps you want to discuss or comment on how the articles differ. Can you imagine a similar kind of student movement in the U.S., or are there things about Chilean history and politics that make it more understandable why it is happening there?
