Protest

As a son of immigrants, I admire the American flag because it represents strength and sacrifice from brave people who died for standing up for what is right. People often make mistakes and misinterpret certain situations. The protest made by NFL players aren’t done in a form of disrespecting the US flag. What is disrespectful is the reaction of President Trump’s inappropriate response towards the NFL players who kneeled calling them a “son of a bitch.” The way on how I view the situation is that

49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick sat for the National Anthem to protest racial injustice within the United States. When asked why he sat, he stated, “I’ve been very clear from the beginning that I’m against the systematic oppression” of black Americans (Willingham).

The National Anthem protests have been a major controversy in today’s news and with the public. The protests have caused violent outbreaks among some groups of people and created many problems. These problems have divided the country and everyone has a different stance on this. Police brutality is one of the main reasons these protests are occurring and it continues to happen everyday. Also, veterans are becoming very offended by the people who do protest our country. President Trump has also made

believed that protest was any form of expression or objection by words or actions to an event, government policy or situation. Protest happen all over the world. They range from non-violent demonstrations, to full scale riots. Tanaka Shozo and Sakura Sogoro were both pioneers of non-violent communication. They believed that more could be said with words and non-violent acts, than with violence. The history of protest dates back thousands of years, some of the first recorded protest were in Japan

officials try to put together the pieces of whats left of their city. All this is a classic scene of the aftermath after a protest. While having the right to freedom of speech, and the ability to express them openly, there is still a right and wrong way to do so. Protesting is the least effictive and most harmful. Although many argue that protesting is manageable and proffiecent, protests casue more issues than bennifets because they hurt people and property, send bad messages to the communities and waste

does not damage society, however protests too often escalate to anger and violence, diminishing the validity of the cause being demonstrated. Peaceful protest can be an effective and beneficial way to make a point about how many in a population feel strongly about an issue, yet many protests do not go as intended.

treatment of AIDS formed a protest movement similar to those involved in the fight for women’s suffrage, and for civil rights. The consensus of authors like Herbert Spires and Mirko Grmek is that a strong, organized civil disobedience protest movement was necessary to combat the general apathy towards AIDS from both the government and from the medical community.

Usually, protests are loud, sometimes chaotic and the people who are advocating the issue are chanting a phrase in unison. However, yesterday’s protest did not seem nothing like what I’ve expected. Outside of the Verizon store, people were holding up signs. The signs had phrases that indicated about Net Neutrality, such as FCC, Federal Communications

police in disproportionate number, usually without any repercussions for the officers who engaged in the killings.

Colin Kaepernick started his protest by sitting down on the bench at the sidelines while the national anthem played. After that happen a veteran caught his attention and decided to

The Government Effect On The Protests Protests have numerous factors that affect the result of the protest and one major element is the government. In the 1960’s some protests were brutal due to discrimination; yet, the largest protest achieved to maintain a safe environment because the government respected and allowed the protests. The March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom in 1963 peacefully gathered approximately 250,000 citizens together to protest the high level of black unemployment
