Peaceful Protest Movement

Peaceful resistance to laws has a positive impact on society. Because it's not harming anybody and they're standing up for what they believe in and they have equal rights to every one else. One example was Rosa Parks. At the time, blacks had to go to the back of the bus and one day she decided she was going to stay in the front of the bus because she was tired. She was also making a statement that people should be able to sit wherever they choose to.

In the United States, the protest has always been an important tool of democracy, a way for the minority to let itself be heard. Take the Civil Rights movement. Today's race relations are better than they were fifty years ago because a relatively small group of people convinced enough of the country that racism was a disease that would kill everything that made America special.

All through history governments and empires have been overthrown or defeated primarily by the violence of those who oppose them. This violence was usually successful however, there have been several situations, when violence failed, that protesters have had to turn to other methods. Non-violent protesting never seemed to be the right course of action until the ideology of Mohandas Gandhi spread and influenced successful protests across the world. Non-violent methods were successfully used, most notably, by Mohandas Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Nelson Mandela.

Peaceful protest leads to both positive and negative impacts on a free society. The main issue of the society isn't just people making bold moves like these, it has to do with people being able to accept them and not deal with it in a violent way, thinking that, that is acceptable and going to solve anything, when it really make it

Since the beginning of american history there have been peaceful and non peaceful protests. These protests have had valuable effects on American society such as Martin Luther King Jr and Rosa Parks have impacted society greatly and for the better. In my opinion peaceful protests still have negative effects though they are immensely more appropriate than non peaceful protests because peaceful protests often turn violent because people don't know how to act for example Trump Protests.

Each act of disobedience directs attention towards a specific idea, and prompts the society to talk about it. It also gives licesnse for the liberated members of that society to form their own opinions about the idea. Since the protest harms no one, save the individual who is willing to face the consequences of breaking the law in question. It does not infringe on any other individual's rights. Peaceful resistance to laws has a positive impact on a free society since it educates that society's members and may lead to more liberty for them, which would create a freer

In the movie, The Mission, the Jesuit Priest, Father Gabriel, played by Jeremy Lyons, in an effort to liberate the Guarani people by proselytizing them to Christianity, becomes their oppressor by changing their natural beliefs and practices. While his intentions are meritorious, they display another form of colonialism and oppression. He does learn the Guarani’ language. However, this appears to be only as an attempt to teach them his way or the Jesuit way. Instead of learning the Guarani culture and assimilating therein, he attempts to convert them to European culture. As an example he teaches them music, which they had no knowledge of prior to his coming. He decides what is best for the people and what they should learn. In one of the earliest scenes in the movie the people did not wear clothes. Later on, we see the Guarani fully clothed, which was an indication that the priests taught them that they should wear clothes. Prior to his coming, the Guarani could be said to be in a “Garden of Eden” state

Peaceful resistance to laws is one of the strongest and most important foundations of a free society. Countless peaceful demonstrations have been led in the history of the United States, with positive outcomes that have helped shape the country.

Some opening examples of how peaceful protests are favorable can be seen in the movie “Battle in Seattle”. There was a protest going on about the WTO meeting taking place in Seattle in 1999. The mayor knew that there would be protests. He said “Be tough on your issues, but be gentle on my town.” He was encouraging peaceful protests, stating that citizens had the right to take a stand for their beliefs. Most of the protesters were peaceful and creative, being disruptive was how they advocated to the general public their message. Their protest to get the WTO meeting to stop and to educate citizens was peaceful and effective. They went to extreme measures to stop the meeting, such as linking their arms together to form a giant chain. They stood up and stood firmly for what they believed was right, even knowing what could happen to

By dictionary definition, to protest is to make a statement or action expressing disapproval of or objection to something. In many cases, protests include aggressive and even violent actions to show people's disapproval to government choices. The article, “Why Street Protests Don’t work,” says that aerial photos of anti-government marches routinely show an intimidating sea of people furiously demanding change. And yet, it is surprising how little these crowds achieve.” The article goes on to prove that for the majority most street protests are not successful. Sometimes these uncivilized acts help solve issues but more often than not, they only create more problems. Although some may strongly disagree, protesting does not normally work because aggressiveness does

Imagine you’re a mayor, and there is a problem that is causing people to protest. As you glance out your office window you see protesters peacefully shouting and holding up signs. Now imagine that you are glancing out the window and you see police officers, protesters fighting, rioting, setting things on fire, and trashing stores. Now ask yourself, which is more impactful? Which two cases would get you to try to make peace or negotiate with the protesters? You might say the people who are making the most commotion, although yes, it is more impactful, but is this violent approach effective in the long run? When it comes to protesting, there are many ways to get your voice heard, such as sit ins, marches, boycotts, rioting, etc. These methods are grouped into two sections, nonviolent and violent. Non-violence is the best method of protest because there are less injuries and fatalities,

Violent protest is divisive - it turns citizens away from seeing reason in your stance, costs taxpayers money for police protection and control and drives people strongly to one side or the other of the issues protested. The reason that protests are often seen as dangerous is because they can turn sour as the result of people using this power and ability to demonstrate as a reason to injure and destroy, often without any connection to the original protested topic. Protesters have been known to break shop windows, throw bricks at cars and even injure or kill one another in extreme situations. Peacekeepers attempting to protect the citizens and prevent escalation are often vilified and presented as brutalizing peaceful protesters.

Religion was shown in different ways long ago. In ancient Rome, the Romans accomplished polytheism, a belief in other gods or goddesses. In ancient India, people, also called Hindus, believed that their God Brahman was everything they see in the world. Ancient Rome and ancient India showed their religious beliefs in many ways long ago. Their religions shared a few similarities, but for the most part they were very different.

Peaceful resistance to laws positively impacts a free society. Rather than having violent movements and harming citizens, it is better to peacefully resist. Once a violence is used, the resistance to the law becomes nulled. People tend to not follow a violence protester. Once a violent riot starts, chaos is everywhere. People forget what they are truly fighting for. They unconsciously run away with the fear of getting harmed and dare not to go back. A peaceful resistance on the other hand leads citizens to join and support. People are able to see what they are fighting for and their real intentions. They are able to stand and cause no problem to people passing by as they are showing their support through silent voices. Many famous activists and leaders are for nonviolence.
