Even though we don’t hear about it as much civil disobedience is still a form of protest today. Yet it is not always shown since it is never as interesting as violent protest. By the end of this essay the reader should understand the history behind civil disobedience/nonviolent protest and how it is being used today. From Thoreau to the Bundy ranch case nonviolence protest was used. In 1846 one of the earlier recorded acts of civil disobedient was performed by a man by the name of Henry D.…
In Wall and Piece Banksy wrote: “The greatest crimes in the world are not committed by people breaking the rules but by people following the rules.” This quotation undoubtedly fits the story of Herman Melville’s Bartleby and Kate Chopin’s Edna Pontellier. Two characters: a woman and a man who despite living different lives in different places share an unnamed disease burning them from the inside. When life is deprived of sense the only possible form of rebellion is lasting still. Refusal of…
Civil Disobedience Civil Disobedience is the refusal to obey any laws, taxes, or any fines without any violent acts. From Thomas Jefferson to Dr. martin Luther King Jr to David Thoreau. Each of these was a different case, but all impacted the world in the same way. Some people believe it keeps the government in check and others believe it shows defiance to the law.

I am an Afro-Latina living in the United States, and growing up I have been aware of both the struggles that Hispanics and Black-Americans face living in America. I feel most connected to the civil rights of these minority groups because I myself am one of them. That is why I fully believe in the act of civil disobedience for equality, not only for Hispanics and Black-Americans, but for…
I think serving others is important because you can make a difference. It also makes you feel good for helping others out. For my service learning, I chose to work with my old elementary school teacher, Ms. Simon, who works in the AAP department. I also happened to meet a new teacher, Ms. Maloney who works with special ed. kids. I helped them get work done around their room. I started out working for Ms. Simon in the beginning of school last year. Last Summer I had visited Franconia,…
I have participated in several community service projects including: Serving at the Banquet, Kids Against Hunger, Mission Trips to New York City and Detroit and assisting a first grade classroom. Through these projects, I have been able to serve those in the Sioux Falls community and abroad. Serving at the Banquet allows the homeless and hungry of Sioux Falls to come and eat a warm meal. During the hours spent there, you not only get to serve the food, but you also get a chance to talk with…
The question that we begin with is “If you wanted to protest an unfair law to help other people, what would you do?”. To me, this question has so many different answers depending on the person. When we attended the protest education assembly, my point was proven. We had a panel of two Black law enforcement officers, a youth pastor , and an angry black student that all had different stand points on how the situation should be handled. Now, back to the question,how would I handle it. I believe…
