The Government Effect On Protests Demonstrations Protests

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.

Reading Henry David Thoreau’s essay Civil Disobedience (1849) I find a parallelism between his thoughts and the coming of age of the United States as a nation. This piece was originally delivered as a speech before the Concord Lyceum in January of 1848 on the subject "On the Relation of the Individual to the State", and published under the title Resistance to Civil Government in Elizabeth Peabody's Aesthetic Papers, in May 1849. Thoreau wrote it from a personal experience: in 1846 he had been imprisoned for not paying his taxes as a protest for the actions of the government because he opposed slavery and the Mexican War. This essay is part of the literary period called The

People in the U.S get mistreated contently because of racism. One of these acts are, the protest control. Not only african americans but people of various races are being punished , arrested and even kill because of there protesting despite it being peaceful.

Protests riots in the United States has proven to an issue for both the country’s financial strength and the unity of the nation. With the presence of social injustices, combined with the increased impact of social media propaganda, protests riots are beginning to reach an all time high. Protest riots destroy individual communities and businesses, jeopardizes the safety of others and taints the protest’s cause by resorting to civil disobedience. Action must be done in order to prevent these random acts of violence from continuing after every social hot topic. The goal is not to prevent citizens from protesting; in fact, this should be encouraged. The goal is to change the way the protests are handled from both the citizens and authority perspectives, in order to prevent these protests from escalating into something dangerous.

In this day and age, peaceful protests against opposed laws has become a centralized right as an individual. It has become a popularized form to oppose laws imposed by the government. Many take to the streets in protest to continue to take part of the government in order to allow for their voices to be heard. However, if resistance becomes violent and threatens the safety of other individuals, it also threatens the original message being portrayed. It is the people of the United States that make up the government and gives the government its power. This is clearly stated in the first three words of the constitution and will continue to be upheld for as long as there is a United States of

Radical group protests have a negative impact on society. Protestors are filled with many emotions and being a part of a group with strong opinions allowed to chant and protest in public can brings out the worst in people. People begin fight for the different things they believe in and allow hate to take over. Instead of bringing the country together, it can tear the nation apart.

Protest in the Austin area is very intense right now. Many students from schools in East Austin, have gone to protest in name of all immigrants. To prove their point, that they believe that immigrants have a great impact in the United states. Students from Del Valle High School, LBJ High school, Manor High School and a few other school’s walked out of their school and walked down to city hall to protest. And they did it , to prove that they too have a voice and a choice in the things that happen in society in the future. Immigrants,and Citizens from all over the U.S have united together to prove what “ a day without immigrants” looks like. All over the nation they have united and protested “USA, No racism, No KKK, No trump”. This includes citizens whose parents are immigrants. Parents who brought their children to this Country for a better future are all of a sudden being discriminated and treated poorly. And it has brought together citizens that support the hard wolk of immigrants and many have been protesting. On february, 16, 2017 a lot of jobs went on strike to

As an essential right of all American citizens, civil disobedience allows American people to strengthen and combine their voices in efforts to change their country. The United States is a country run by the people and for the people. Therefore, it is US citizens that make the United States the strong, independent, flourishing country it is today. It is US citizens that desire change and progress and use civil disobedience to share their ideas and led the countries in many of its advancements in work, racial tensions, and law.

Now is the time the nation needs to come together, but the people are separated. People are too busy arguing over the Republican and Democratic parties and race. Kneeling for the national anthem because they want to make a statement that not all lives matter, but black lives matter and their president are, “not their president”, is disrespectful to the people who fought and who died and their family. The NFL football players should not have the right to protest during their job, they should protest on their own time.

There are many ways to protest and there are many outcomes of the protests. Marches, Sit-ins, and Boycotts are all very effective methods of protests. There are many reasons why these methods of protest are effective. These include the amount of people that are involved, the amount of attention they create, and by sending the companies broke. By using these protests, the effectiveness of them has shaped American history and the protests are still remembered today.

Protest movements have had a long standing within America, and have been recognized as a crucial part to political behavior. People have actively engaged in political protesting in order for their voices and controversial issues to be heard. However, what exactly is it that makes an individual more or less likely to engage in protesting? There are many different factors, whether it is on an individual-level or an institutional level, which drive a person to participate in such a political action.

People have the rights to freely protest peacefully, if they feel as though the government is not being just to them can be seen as a form of Social Movement. The problem comes in when the Acting crowds, protest turns into an aggravating riot, causing harm to other people and their property. It not only draws away from what they are fighting for, but it gets more attention, globally especially the negative aspects when media runs with it. I came across an article where the President of the United States, talks about the "criminals and thugs who tore up" the city of Baltimore on Monday night, after rioting and looting paralyzed the city and overwhelmed local officials”. He also mention that the media, play a major part, because they do not react

I am going to write about the protests in Ferguson. From the perspective of a pastor, Voddie Baucham, in Texas. He was in Africa when Ferguson happened and he felt people were either telling him that he had to talk on this issue or he would be judged for not, but he didn’t even know what was going on because he was out of the media loop. When he found out, he didn’t want to speak on the issue because he didn’t know ALL the details, but he said he’s entitled to help his followers who are in need of getting through this. He says, “…it worries me that so many Christians view themselves primarily as members of this or that ethnic community more than they see themselves as members of the body of Christ.” He agrees that there are stereotypes associated with black

Turkey has many different people that come from many different backgrounds. There are many people that are harassed, discriminated against, and even killed over their ethnicity. The people in Turkey are divided. People are afraid of losing their heritage and their traditions.

The public whom are now informed through journalism and photography are often puzzled about the stories or photos, which causes protest events to develop. In the film “Bahrain: Shouting in the Dark” through the media we can see the repressed citizens of Bahrain wanting a change in their government. The citizens of Bahrain assembled together protesting for a new democratic government. With journalism reports from Al Jazeera, the world was now hearing their story. Countries around the world heard the cries of the Bahrain citizens wanting for a change. But with the protest, the Bahrain’s government was quick to suppress the pro-democratic activists. An NPR article “Bahrain: The Revolution That Wasn’t” Kelly McEver discussed, “Bahrain’s uprising was suppressed in a harsh crackdown. Thousands of people were rounded up, detained, and sometimes tortured…Several people died while in custody. (McEver)” Protests may lead to better outcomes, but in this instance the outcome lead to death of many Bahrain’s citizens.
