Occupy Ottawa: The Validity of the 99%

Initially, this essay was intended to be divided evenly in half between two aspects of the Occupy Ottawa movement: the socio-economic validity of the movement, and the use and abuse of civil rights at the movement. Unfortunately, there was very little information regarding the latter, as many of the civil rights abuses that are alleged to have occurred at Occupy Ottawa has only come to light in the past few days. As a result, the 50/50 split with regards to content was quickly infeasible, due to the time constraints that came from the November 9th deadline. As a result, this paper primarily focuses on the socio-economic validity of the movement, with a brief discussion of the civil rights aspect of things at the end. I chose not to remove the section entirely, as I believe it is a very important thing to consider when analysing the Occupy Ottawa movement, and is something that should be analysed and explored more thoroughly once more information of the ongoing civil rights issues comes to light.
