Instead of protesting read and understand the topic and examine how your freedom and persona marginalized and mitigated on a collective unconsciousness
Martin Luther King Jr., Cesar Chavez, and the Newsies strike of 1889 are all examples of ordinary people wanted their ideas to be heard, that all men are created equal. Each and everyone of us has a voice, a voice
Revolution is when a group of people is against a system or way of doing things and hope to change the ways that those subjects are being viewed by the government or society as a whole, and that’s exactly what the anti-racism and anti-Trump protesters were going for. On Monday, August 14, anti-Trump protesters waited for Trump’s arrival to Trump Tower while standing outside shouting and holding up signs that said things like “No KKK, No Fascist USA, No Trump!” A little ways after 9 o’clock at night, our newly inaugurated President rode up to Trump tower from a road that avoided all of the protesters. A few hours before that, a group of protesters and supporters were lined up behind barricades across the street of the tower.
Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith and “Communist Manifesto” by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels both address selfishness and its effect on society through social and economic means. In Wealth of Nations, Smith defines wealth as the productivity of a nation and the aspects of a commercial society. “The Communist Manifesto” criticizes the idea behind a capitalist society and talks about the class struggle between the working class and the owners of the means of production. Wealth of Nations and “The Communist Manifesto” both analyze how the selfishness of people affects society, however while Wealth of Nations claims selfishness causes increased productivity and increases wages for all, “The Communist Manifesto” argues that selfishness causes injustice

Change and Revolution have always been in the American bloodstream; from the first wave of immigrants that came to the states, the search for change and the rebellion of injustice has been constant. Through each of our distinctive eras, we’ve had profound leaders that gave our present time the voices and opportunities to achieve the goals they never could. Martin Luther King Jr. , a civil rights activist, and Henry David Thoreau, an 1849 transcendentalist, both are common public figures of their time, pushed the ideas of ethical nonviolent protest. Their diligence made them influential activists of their time in favor of making a change in American society. King and Thoreau strongly encouraged citizens to advocate for nonviolent protest
Throughout American history, it has been the common citizens who have changed the course of history. A voice speaks out, and its fellows listen, and when they add their own voices, they become a shout impossible to ignore. When good citizens come together for a common cause they become a powerful force that is impossible to ignore as well as an unstoppable force for change. America itself is an example of this trend. America, before it was the free and independent nation that it is today, was a British colony, subject to the laws and levies that King George passed.
There are times when people must rebel to make a change. It has happened throughout different movements to change unjust laws, and go against unjust people. One big example of civil disobedience during the civil rights movement were sit-ins. Sit-ins were when people continued to peacefully sit in on a restaurant when they were denied service. It was almost a way of life for many people.
Many movements from the eighteenth to twenty-first century have proven that civil disobedience can be an effective method to garner support in an attempt to come closer to true justice and equality so that, eventually, all will be equal as intended..
Some protests in the past have worked. For example, the Boston Tea Party. This conflict started when the British enforced a selfish act called the Tea Act. This act was made just to get the British East India Company out of debt.
Civil Disobedience Shaping our Society: Then and Now Civil Disobedience has shaped not only the society we live in today, but all around the world. According to Thoreau’s essay called “Civil Disobedience,” he describes “That government is best which governs not at all.” Citizens have acted in different ways to try to make a change while accepting the consequences that come with it. Civilians have a chance to act voluntarily and to have a chance to make a change in their free society that will have an effect on future generations. Civil disobedience is necessary and it is a positive impact because it changes laws that are unjust, it has proven to be successful in history and modern times, and it forces the government pay attention.
As Americans, we are entitled to our right to speak out for ourselves, guaranteed to us by the First Amendment. We are entitled to hold these peaceful protests and write non-threatening letters to our representatives. As Americans, we have the right to have an influence on how the government conducts itself. These views bring me to believe that the only way to maintain our free society is to practice civil disobedience.
As we can see from this quote that was written in the communist manifesto by Marx himself, It is clear that he believed that as a result of this oppression by the bourgeoisie the proletarians would revolt against the capitalist system and this would result in a
Karl Marx was a German philosopher and economist in the 18th century. He is known for his book the Communist Manifesto that was published in 1848. Marx believed that a revolution of the working classes would over throw the capitalist order and creates a classless society. The Industrial Revolutions led to the proletarianization; his partner Friedrich Engels explained why the changes created by the proletarianization of the worker would develop into a huge problem for industrial societies. I do believe that Karl Marx’s vision of communism in the Communist Manifesto could re-emerge as a popular and workable philosophy of social, economic, and political organization.
Karl Marx (1818-1883) considered himself not to be a sociologist but a political activist. However, many would disagree and in the view of Hughes (1986), he was ‘both – and a philosopher, historian, economist, and a political scientist as well.’ Much of the work of Marx was political and economic but his main focus was on class conflict and how this led to the rise of capitalism. While nowadays, when people hear the word “communism”, they think of the dictatorial rule of Stalin and the horrific stories of life in a communist state such as the Soviet Union, it is important not to accuse Marx of the deeds carried out in his name.
