Civil disobedience

Civil disobedience is as much about the inquiry of what we deserve as citizens as much as it is as

about the suppression of ideas and freedoms. We live in a society that asks for us to be curious,

innovative, and imaginative but when we are and we seek change our ideas are crushed by those

unwilling to change. Life itself is based they want and need for more. When you get to the top of

the hill there will be others trying to push you down. What a better way to prevent others from

reaching power than suppressing their want for change.

things to stay the same?

powers morals and beliefs. The change is not always beneficial or progressive for everyone but

its a struggle between government and the people.
