Are Protest effective
Often the world does not go the way we want. This could be because of the state, people, or the world order in general. People do protest for change the situation or at least show their reaction. With the 21st century people start to communicate faster and easier so it increased power of the protests. However, are the peaceful protests effective as it seems? I Partially agree whit this question, and I will explain reasons below.
On one hand, I agree with importance of the peaceful protest. It can build solidarity between the people. They come together for each other’s problem, so they appear stronger. Also, people must show reaction to situations which make them uncomfortable. If people do not show reaction for case, authority will do more pressure. Additionally, generally advanced societies like European and American societies do protest. So protesting is a sign of being a developed society.
On the other hand, I do not agree with protests bring change to different social issues. If you look at the history of peaceful protests especially which happened at last twenty years, you will see they did not cause any differences. Peaceful protests are always soft, and if you want to change anything you must show you are ready to lose something like your property or in extreme cases, your life.
In conclusion, by protesting societies can show sensitive and build cooperation but you cannot fix any problem It has been like that in the past and probably will be the same in the future. Yet, if you see the people who do protest, please continue to give them support. Benefits of protesting should not be ignored.
