The Role Of Disobedience In The American Revolution

Disobedience is a valuable human traits because through disobedience it have bring great change in the society which have impact all people around the world. For example people who disobedience the law to bring change in their society are such as Martin Luther king, Malala yousafzai, and Mahatma gandhi. These three people had a great impact on people's lives and change the society forever by disobedience.

Human beings possess several virtues that differentiate them from other creatures and can use them in ways that represent their perceptions of social order. Surprisingly, Oscar Wilde believes that disobedience is an original virtue of every human and that it is responsible for progress and development. While Wilde’s claim is not entirely accurate, it is largely valid as evidenced by the recent events across the world, including the US, that have led to positive outcomes in spite of being termed and perceived as acts of disobedience.

Disobedience has promoted social progress various times in the past by allowing people to speak up against an unjust government. For example, Henry Thoreau in “Civil Disobedience” brought up the role of disobedience in the American Revolution when he stated, “All men recognize the right of revolution… to resist, the government, when its tyranny are great and unendurable” (Thoreau 3). Consequently, disobedience was necessary in the American Revolution in order for the colonists to gain independence from the British government, after all the unjust treatment that the colonists endured, such as excessively high

Obedience is a trait that is taught in schools, cherished by parents, and respected by society. Disobedience, on the other hand, is frowned upon and generally discouraged in society. Many argue that this trait has adverse effects on society. Oscar Wilde, a prominent play writer during the 1890’s, argues that disobedience is a valuable trait that has changed the world. Although many do not see disobedience as a virtue, Wilde does. Wilde’s statement is valid because disobedience is a rare, yet remarkable characteristic that is essential in improving the world.

I strongly agree with what Oscar Wilde’s statement. Stating that “disobedience is man’s original virtue” is saying that we as people know more about disobedience than anything else. Many people would say that disobedience holds a great deal with the way people carry themselves. To not accept disobedience, you will have to work really hard on how you can change that and make things better. There are many different types of disobedience. For example, there is civil disobedience which carries a great deal with the law and how you act to the laws.

In 1891, Irish author Oscar Wilde observed,” Disobedience, in the eyes of anyone who has read history, is man’s original virtue. It is through disobedience and through rebellion. Sometimes negatives bring positives.

The American Revolution was preceded in part by a series of British Parliament laws that regulated trade and taxes. Rumors from England that more taxes might follow encouraged some colonists to begin thinking about whether they really consented to taxes passed by a Parliament to which they elected no representatives. (1) This particular legislation of taxation caused tensions between colonists and local imperial officials, who readdressed the colonists concerns that the British Parliament would not address American complaints concerning the new laws. The unwillingness to respond to American demands for change by the British opened the doors to colonial argument that they were part of a corrupt and tyrannical empire in which their traditional liberties were at stake! This position eventually served as the foundation for the Declaration of Independence.

Oscar Wilde states that, “It is through disobedience that progress has been made, through disobedience and through rebellion.”. Many people, and it does not matter what kind of person they are, go through disobedience. It is something that they cannot get out from because it is in everyday of our lives. Wilde explains that this can give progress to some factors in life, and am sure that it can be used for the good. When people are are disobedient, they can learn from their bad habits that they created, but also can see there is good progress that came out of it.

I agree wholeheartedly with Wilde; disobedience has been the thing to keep humanity progressing. While consequences follow every action, and rebellion can cause chaos, the virtues of rebellion have been exemplified in history, deified in fiction, and called for in modern society. Historically, change has followed rebellion. America began with the rebellion against England. Throughout American History, disobedience has pushed forward progress and society as a whole.

“Obedience is a virtue which our elderly teaches us; however, sometimes disobedience becomes a virtue too, as it proves one’s ability to stand against a wrong.” Oscar Wilde argues that disobedience promotes social progress. Disobedience is necessary at times to make a change within ourselves or amongst our community.

Would you fight for what you believe in no matter the denouement? Would you go against the odds, disobey society and the law to improve the lives of others? In the words of Oscar Wilde, disobedience is a valuable human trait that leads to social progress. Disobedience results in freedom, equality, and civil rights.

Disobedience can be seen in many forms, but the most astonishing form of disobedience is when one goes against the rules and comes out being more spectacular subsequently to when one follows the rules and allows the system of society to define their true purpose and potential for the sake of good for all. Looking at the past, we know that disobedience has always been seen as a behavior in which “non-civil” humans act, those who are less thought of and have no meaning in society, but for most part disobedience has had a positive effect on us and our country all we have to do is take a glance at history. Reminiscing about our history we can recall iconic figures who defined the rules and showed civil disobedience by standing up against the odds,

Wilde claim that disobedience is a valuable human trait and that it promotes social progress. To the an extent, Wilde’s claim are valid in some situation at how disobedience can lead to social progress, however, people can continue with no change progress or change.

“Disobedience” is doing what we want although the ordinary way or rules depict otherwise. Many times when something is going wrong the only way to make it better is to do it differently but if rules do not allow change the problem will never be solved. Irish author Oscar Wilde claims that disobedience is a good thing that contributes to progress. Wilde’s claim is very true, disobedience is good because if someone does not step up and do it things nothing will progress forward as desired.

Throughout history, disobedience has been used to change laws among other thing within government and society. The presence of disobedience and rebellion can change the natural balance of society and the government. In 1891, the irish author oscar wilde observed, “ Disobedience in the eyes of anyone who has read history is man’s original virtue. It is through disobedience that progress has been made, through disobedience and rebellion.” (Wilde).
