It's not just Barack Obama and the upcoming elections that can change the world as we know it this year, there are 19 other very important elections, that can be either--a good thing or in some cases-- a bad thing. If there is one thing we know, it's when power is given to the wrong person or party, an entire nation and it's people will suffer. It is why elections are so very important to society--making sure that the people and their needs are met first, making sure the right person gets into office.
In 2011, we saw citizens take to the streets demanding change, overthrowing long standing leaders and thier regimes. It was a year of "enough is enough". From Tunisia's Bin Ali, Egypt's Mubarak and Libya's Gadafi, 2011 proved to be a year that changed the world as we know it. However, it is 2012, that will stand out in history, as 20 countries around the world will undergo a leadership transition. Four of those countries being permananent members of the U.N Security Council- the United States, Russia, China and France. Third world countries will have national, state or local elecctions and we will finally see the Arab Spring counrties putting thier democracies to work.
