Why Protest Is Important

In my opinion protesting is irrelevant and a waste of time depending on the topic. liberal yuppies are a waste of space everyone protesting Donald Trump is a yuppy and they all need to get a job. Teachers deserve better pay. Cows are great. If you do not like anything I just said here is a straw so you can suck it up. If you do not like my straw then here is some wood so you can build a bridge and get over it... or burn the bridge down which ever you

Flashback to the 15th century: Puritans protest against religious persecution. Flashback to the 20th century: African Americans protest against racial segregation. Currently in the 21st century: people protest against police brutality in the United States. Flash forward to the future, Clarisse McClellan, a character from Ray Bradbury’s novel Fahrenheit 451 individually protests against what she believes is corrupt in the world. Protesting is a symbol of strength and power within a group of people who are exhausted of inequality. Without protest, our civilization would lack the necessary balance between people and government, which is why it is such a crucial aspect of society.

    Disobedience has proven to be necessary throughout humanity’s history, for it has brought us freedom, progress, and experience. Throughout these past centuries,  humans have rebelled against social norms and their political oppressors to obtain the freedom and equality we enjoy nowadays, leading to the idea that disobedience and rebellion are important aspects in society. This in turn has also instilled in others the idea that disobedience isn’t proper, but rather detrimental to society, forgetting that rebellions and protests also fall under this category. This, however, doesn’t change the fact that disobedience in the past has actually helped humanity, as seen during the American Revolution

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 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.

The human race doesn’t take injustice lying down. Over the past hundred years, there has been many examples of people taking a stand for their own rights and freedoms through acts of civil disobedience, defined as “the refusal to comply with certain laws or to pay taxes and fines, as a peaceful form of political protest”. While a quick glance at today’s society does show a much more accepting and proper view of people of every race, religion and sexuality, our world does not come without its injustices. I believe that these major injustices keep civil disobedience extremely relevant in our current, modern world.

It is through protest that the government is able to recognize what the people believe. Without this there would be no changes, no reconsideration, and no progress.

Protesting is extremely un-American. After all, this country was founded by people smiling and accepting their circumstances silently and hoping for the best. Said absolutely nobody ever. The basis of the American democracy is freedom of expression. From the Boston Tea Party and boycotts against the Quartering Act to the 2017 March for Science, the history of our nation is dotted with instances of peaceful resistance and protest that are, for the most part, viewed in an extremely favorable light.

Civil disobedience has always been used as an instrument of change in America, and has been necessary to keep the people of America free. In the 1960s, civil rights activists in America boycotted segregated businesses and even sat-in at restaurants that refused to serve African-Americans. Before the Civil Rights Act of 1964, businesses could discriminate against individuals based on their ethnicity, religion, sex, or national origin. The landmark legislation marked the success of the Civil Rights Movement and a new beginning in American politics.

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

Julia’s complete acceptance of what the Party says is due to her own laziness and lack of interest concerning anything about the Party. She doesn’t believe there should be any protest to the Party because it is all a lie anyways, and it shouldn’t matter. That is where she is incredibly wrong, and just as much lazy. It is easy to agree, to just accept anything that is told to you without any thought or consideration, and it is difficult to challenge an opposing idea. The only way a person can protest is if they know how to create their own idea, and, personally speaking, she is lazy. Others are unaware, and it’s the Party’s actions that make other unaware; however, Julia has the ability and knowledge to be aware of the lies that the Party control,

Peacefully protesting to show support of a cause is not harmful to society. In the past, it has been a technique simply to show you feel that your situation, a law or a proposition is not justified, in your eyes. Protesting in that way does not damage society, however protests too often escalate to anger and violence, diminishing the validity of the cause being demonstrated.

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.

People come to America to be able to achieve the American dream but in todays world it seems as though not everyone can really achieve it. Immigrants and refugees who have come here recently make up our country a big majority of our country. However, they do not have the same respect as immigrants and refugees who have been here since the Ellis Island days. To achieve the ability to have the same rights and respects there is only one way we the people have the ability to have our cries heard and that is with protesting. It is good to protest it lets the government know that there is a problem and not just one person has it. It is a way for people to come together for a cause that they believe in. On 29th of January, I attended my first protest

The question whether or not civil disobedience is justifiable in a democracy has been a controversial matter among thinkers and politicians. Views vary from almost absolute support to the legitimacy of civil disobedience in democratic societies to conservative support and to the rejection of the idea.
