restrictive and slow ways. As such, I expressed my distaste towards these methods by solving math problems using my own strategies and ideas. However, many of my classmates did not want to create disagreements with the teacher, thus making me the lone dissenter. While I was eventually reprimanded by the teacher for my disobedience, my acts of defiance gave me a strong, opinionative voice and encouraged others to combine their efforts to create change. As a result, our teacher eventually decided to allow

While having a differing beliefs from others is not always encouraged by society, it allows us to create our own identities. In William Golding's Lord of the Flies, the theme of dissent starts to become prevalent as the islanders' life progresses due to disagreements and the vast differences between priorities. I can relate since dissent has played a large role in the creation of my unaltered views and opinions, most notably at my time in school while in math class. Despite my desire to get ahead

Consequently, Dissenters were excluded from educational institutions such as Cambridge and Oxford. Further, they were banned from living in the main urban centres and because of this tended to congregate in places like Birmingham and further north in Scotland, where the local populace were more accepting of non-conformist views. In addition, the University of Glasgow was open to Dissenters and it would play a major role in the development of steam power

Did God create the universe or did the universe create itself? Ever since Charles Darwin’s On the Origin of Species was first published in 1859, the debate between those that believe life was brought into existence by supernatural means and those who believe in Darwin’s theory of evolution has been fierce. Each side presents compelling arguments that may sway any uneducated reader to agree with their position based solely on the confidence they portray in their writings.

dichotomy between dissent and disagreement. According to Boorstin, disagreement expresses a differing opinion that may promote debate, whereas dissenting places the dissenters into the minority. Boorstin also claims that disagreement is beneficial to democracy, while dissension is cancerous. Boorstin’s assertion is heavily flawed; dissenters

The disrepair of our society is evident through the observation of a select few individuals. These individuals feel entitled to choose their identities, in gender and sexuality. These dissenters feel as if they deserve reimbursement for our inability to accept them. They believe that, due to their regard as outcasts, they are unable to pursue a whole and happy life. The lack of productivity contributed to our modern society by these individuals is striking. Based on figures from the Human Rights

Defoe wrote this pamphlet not only to mock the way that Queen Anne was treating the Dissenters, but also to acquire the readers’ consideration and have them reflect on the negativities that Queen Anne was placing upon the Dissenters. Defoe contends why the Dissenters should be treated favorably, but then denounces each point by offering counter-arguments that intensify in their severity. One example of these opinions and then

rules so Puritans could not disobey the ideals. If anyone did not conform, they were called an “impostor” who did not belong in the community. If Puritans allowed freedom of worship, dissenters would not be banished from the community because all ideologies could potentially exist peacefully. The only time dissenters existed were in communities that limited freedom of rights. Along with most communities, there are differences from popular belief which leaders try to disestablish.

Specifically, the Quakers were ardent about distancing themselves from the Ranters. The Ranters, as one will see later, were considered the ‘scum’ of the dissenters, viewed as sexually promiscuous, sinful, and drunkards. Some people came to the associate the Quakers with Ranterism. The writer John Bunyan characterized them both as focusing on internal revelation and affording ministerial opportunities to
