Imagine if Womens' Rights groups had never petitioned congress or stood in from of the White House demanding suffrage. We stand as the…

Civil disobedience can be described and defined as many different issues occurring. The main definition of civil disobedience is defined as public, nonviolent, conscientious yet political acts contrary to the law usually done with the aim of bringing about a change in the law or policies of government. The campaign I am going to be discussing is known as the Occupy Wall Street Movement campaign. I will also be using information and examples from the reading of Plato’s Crito as well as the…

Throughout his life Mahatma Gandhi transformed a social movement during British Imperialism. He enforced the ideas of non-violent, passive resistance and civil disobedience by meeting with politicians, fasting and launching campaigns to protest in order to regain rightful ownership of Indian self-government.

“Human history begins with man's act of disobedience, which is at the very same time the beginning of his freedom and development of his reason.” ~Erich Fromm, Psychoanalysis & Religion.

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…

Many people like Thoreau believed that unjust laws existed and that the government needed improvement. I believe that civil…
