 * Freedom**: Freedom is when a person obtains their rights for themselves and the society through hardship. And are willing enough to fight for what they believe in and never give up.


 * Equality**: When no-one is left out of a group because they are different. No one is more superior then the rest, they are both on the same level.



In a revolution, this stage would involve the political, social, intellectual, or economic causes. In some cases, these causes could fester for many years before showing themselves in the form of actual revolutionary action. || Before the Venezuelan revolution the groups that lived there was the hacendodos, the creoles and a combined group known as the mistizos. And they wanted to stop slavery because slaves made up about 20 percent of the population. And the population was suffering from illnesses brought out by Europeans known as the __Great Dying.__ And they were marginalized politically and economically. || In a revolution, this stage would be the first to involve direct action resulting from the social, political, intellectual, or economic causes of the incubation stage. This stage might involve the publication of works calling for a change, street level riots by the common people, or more direct attempts at changing the society. || The hacendados wanted freedom to sell cocoa and coffee on the open market for a higher price. And the conquest by Napoleon during the Napoleonic Wars over Spain, it opened an opportunity for the Venezuelans. And the Spanish government put a group of dictators involved. Leaving to Simon Bolivar to be influenced by the European writers of the enlightenment. || In a revolution, this stage would be the make or break part of the struggle. It may involve conflict where sides for and against the revolution compete. This competition could take the form of debate or full-scale war. Successful revolutions survive this stage. Those that do not are usually considered failed rebellions. || The junta passed a radical legislation the Venezuelan Revolution that the people witnessed. Restrictions were made on trade lifted. There was also abolition on taxes on food, Indian tribute payments to the government and slavery. || In a revolution, this stage would involve recovering from the extreme disruptions of the crisis stage.

Questions: - The Progression of an illness like the flue for example starts with someone that already has the flu, and giving it to another by spreading it through touch. Then the person who gets the flu from the person that gave them it, starts to have symptoms like first the stuffy nose, then leading to the symptoms. Which is where the flu spikes, one can not go out or do anything, they have to stay in one place until the ordeal is over and they go into the recovery process where things start to settle down.

- The beginning of the flu is when it just starts spreading and before one starts having symptoms of the flu. The Middle is when the symptoms start showing and the person who catches it has to stay isolated in one spot so they will not spread it to other people who are healthy. And the end is just when the symptoms end and the white blood cells can fight it off allowing one to recover.

- Things that could be shared with other illnesses that have something in common with the flu is the common cold.

I think the model can be accurately applied to the revolutionary movement like the ones in Egypt because it starts with the society not like how things are ran for their government and they start thinking about how wrong it is in their minds. And then starts the symptoms like people coming into realization and trying to do little things to change the government, because Egypt wanted change within their societies but i guess their ruler would not give to them and was classified as a dictator. Then the crisis stage which is still going on in Egypt my the massive riots and protests to try and get their prime minister out of power. Yet in my opinion they have not hit the convalescence because they are still protesting within the society even though the ruler said he would step down to power.
