Civil Disobedience

“Civil disobedience is the active refusal to obey certain laws, demands and commands of a government, or of an occupying power, without resorting to physical violence. It is one of the primary tactics of nonviolent resistance. In its most nonviolent form it could be said that it is compassion in the form of respectful disagreement.”

I think that sometimes, in some cases that are really important for the well being of the majority of the persons, like when many people are dying or something radical, civil disobedience is one of the best methods to use so that you can get heard for the ones that don’t one to do it. Sometimes the government can take really bad actions for their own good, affecting in a bad way many of their citizens, so with this, the persons can defend themselves from those actions, although sometimes the cross the line, like with the situation that happened with Lopez Obrador and Reforma.

With those kind of situations is when I don’t agree with, because they are doing a big scandal, affecting many of the persons that have nothing to do with their problem.
