Protesters, Why Do You Think They Protest?

An American essayist, H.L. Mencken stated, “The average man does not want to be free. He simply wants be safe”. I disagree with this statement because an “average man” wants to live. In order to live you must have two necessities; freedom and safety. I believe neither is more important than one another because being free gives you the opportunity to a safe nation, and a safe nation allows you to be free. You cannot live a life without exploring and growing because that would not be considered living. On the other hand, you cannot expect to be free without safety around you.

The freedom of every individual human comes by its liberty first to be safe. Being unrestricted gives each human their rights of living in peace because the rights of freedom is better to have to be able to live life with no fear in the world. like once Patrick Henry said “Give me liberty or give me death”, this can be seen from the Civil Right Movement, “The boy in the striped pajamas” and the Holocaust prove the struggles faced to be in liberty.

The opportunity of freedom is a base for your life. It puts you in a position and gives you the time to look at yourself, to look at the world and to decide what you will do with your life. Everyone will look at life with a different approach. See life through different glasses. We all have our own approach to life and no matter what handicaps of scientifical fixes people try to do we can never be totally and fully equal to one another. All our differences put together form a community, a city and our

In the letter from the eight Alabama clergymen, they felt as though those protesting should refrain from nonviolent protesting until the court system decides on their matter. The undersigned clergymen issued an "appeal for law and order and common sense," directing it towards the racial problems in Alabama. The clergymen made it clear that they felt, extreme measures in Birmingham will not be the resolution to the Negro community's problem, despite how peaceful they might be. The letter was meant to sound as considerate as possible, despite attempting to strip the Negro community of their first amendment god-given right. The clergymen feel as though it would be better to have have local leaders act on the matter, instead of gatherings

Freedom is anyone’s opportunity to make decisions. Therefore, freedom should be demanded. Nothing you ask for is just distributed to you. Freedom was not voluntarily given up to people. You have to endeavor everything in life.You, yourself, may not have worked for freedom, but someone did. Everything came about with a price, whether it was small or large. Freedom is something that should be demanded because there is a struggle for everything you want in life.

What is Freedom? Freedom is what we have. It symbols that citizens like us to

As a person, freedom should not have to be demanded. Freedom was given to people as a right, so it should not be taken away as a privilege. Besides freedom just being a right, it also limits the violence in a nation. Lastly, freedom creates human security . All in all, freedom should be given.

Many people wonder what makes protest effective? People protest all over the United States for many different reasons and issues. Protest all over the United States is changing and it has for sure changed since the 1950’s to present day, during the Vietnam War people used protesting to voice their opinion about the lies and tragedy of the war. There are many different ways protesting could be effective like to prove a point, change a law, share their views, make a change, to be united and just overall make society better for all United States citizens.

Freedom, some people take it for grant it, some people strive for it. Our country fought hard for it. Freedom means to me to is the right to do what you want. But we will never get full freedom because if we had full freedom people would do what they want and if people did what they want we would have conflict. With conflict people would fight each other because they would think the other person was doing something wrong and we don't want to have a Civil war. So our government has put limits on our freedom.

As Americans, we have the right to protest, and make vocal anything in our society which with we do not agree. We see it happening everywhere today in our country, as people stand for or against movements including LGBT, abortion, Black Lives Matter, and even the recent presidential election. We the people are the only individuals who can make change in this great nation. The only way we can improve this country is by protesting and supporting movements that we find to be just. It is important to stand up for what we believe to be right, because it is our only way of making others aware of how we feel about a certain issue.

Is there not a better way to protest America's problems without protesting America? Given that the First Amendment allows us to protest our grievances we should be allowed to take a knee during the national anthem if we feel it’s necessary. The again, there are other ways to protest our country’s problems without protesting the United States, so people with a higher status should not take advantage of the status to protest.

In the process of protesting many people get hurt and injured while property gets destructed and destroyed. This alone should be the red light, signally that protest does no good. A recent example would be the Trump Inauguration, more than two police officers and one civilian were taken to the hospital (Krieg). Why are we endangering the people that protect us, when all of this could be solved by not protesting. Not only does it endanger police but in puts civilians at risk. These major cities where protest take place are homes to thousands of people, and when protesters are in action

First, what is freedom? It's an ambiguous term that can hold many different meanings to different people. Where a person comes from, their socio-economic status, their race, age, gender and other factors play a role in defining what freedom is.

Massive protests are taking place in Hamburg, Germany as the G20 summit of some of the world's leading economies gets underway.

Freedom is limitless and comes in different circumstances for anyone, even the average man. it has no restrictions or limits and its boundaries are unset, however, it also has consequences. The fact of the matter is that freedom in general can work for or against you with the equal amount of privileges, and that is what
