The correct answer is C. The Arab Spring protests reflected global cultural diffusion because they relied heavily on global communication technology to succeed.
The role that the Internet played in these revolutions and social networks is being widely discussed among those who defend it as a great cause of the revolts and who cite it simply as a change in the media and never as a profound cause. In any case, the rapid communication through the Network has served to have their own characteristics, such as spontaneity and the clear absence of leadership. In the Egyptian case, in addition, Internet was revealed so important that it was banned by the government along with mobile phones and, a few days later, to the Al Jazeera television network, which was broadcasting 24 hours on the Internet. However, the Egyptians have been able to communicate through ruses and old technologies such as fax.
In his book, A People's History of the United States, Howard Zinn cites examples from US colonial history of the gap between rich and poor in colonial life.
A key study cited by Zinn examined tax registers from Boston, showing that the top 1% of the population held 25% of the wealth in 1687, and that by 1770, the top 1% of property owners in Boston owned 44% of the wealth. The study also noted that the bulk of Boston's population were not property owners. The percentage of adult males in Boston who owned no property doubled between 1687 and 1770 (from 14% to 29%).
Zinn cited additional items, regarding overcrowding of poorhouses (giving a notable example from New York) and a general increase throughout the colonies of the "wandering poor" who had no real means of support. He also cited examples of workers' strikes against employers in the colonies because of low wages.
