Activists Beyond Borders Article + Gitmo

We found that the idea of the "Boomerang Effect" directly relates to our action group on Guantanamo  Bay. With the Boomerang Effect, many NGOs and activist groups are voicing concerns and stating opinions to the people that can facilitate change. However, those with the authority to change are unresponsive and the activist groups are back to where they started. The Boomerang Effect shows how groups will continue to go back and forth but are essentially placed between two road blocks. This theory is similar to the case of Guantanamo Bay, where a lot of people are voicing opinions and complaining to try and get it shut down. However, there is very little response from the government concerning this. The CIA shows no sign of giving in or making changes and neither do the activist groups. Therefore, there is a very obvious case of the Boomerang Effect happening even in today's society.
