Some examples of peaceful protest that has led to changes in our societies would be; The Salt March led by Gandhi after the British passed a law that Indians couldn't sell and carry salt on them, was repealed and this eventually led to India…

The Gandhi movie deepened my understanding of Satyagraha and other Gandhian principles in many scenes. One scene that impacted my understanding of Satyagraha was when they went on the Salt March. Satyagraha is a policy of passive resistance against political policies or rules. The Salt March deepened my understanding of this because they deliberated disobeyed the British rule that all Indians had to buy salt from the British.

it being kicked to the back of the line because of your skin color or is it being beaten for standing up to what you believe is right.

Thus, in order to achieve true freedom one must get past non-violence to find a…

Mahatma Gandhi once said, “I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent.” However, even his peace movements that were heard throughout the world involved some form of violence. Many events preceding the American Revolution solidify the doubts about having violence in this world in order to create change. The Stamp Act riots, the battle of Lexington and Concord, and peace movements around the world promote the idea that…
