Why is it important to stand up for what you believe in? It’s important to stand up for what you believe in because we all have an opinion in what we believe and what we don’t believe in like i believe in a god that once we die we will go with him for our eternal life but someone else might believe in reincarnation which means once we die we will comeback as someone else. But if people who believe in god meets someone who believes in reincarnation might fight about who is right and they might talk someone down in what they believe in. Even though we don’t know what or who is right there is always gonna be someone who is gonna fight over what they believe in even though we don’t know who is right about what they believe in.

There comes a time, in most citizens’ lives when they must stand against their government to produce change. Change can only be acquired if people take the necessary actions for it to take place. Nelson Mandela was a historical revolutionist who helped his people in Africa, to revolt against the government, in order to bring about change. As a result, he was sentenced to prison for 27 years for trying to overthrow the government. Many revolutionist, such as Arundhati Roy and Martin Luther King Jr., explain in their essays how the role of the citizen is to stand against injustice, and how the government labels them as anti-national because of it.

Standing out of the crowd to make a point for what you believe in is always the right thing to do even if it seems wrong.

Spike Lee’s goal is to allow viewers to glimpse into the lives of real people and into a neighborhood they
