"Nonviolence is not a garment to be put on and off at will. Its seat is in the heart, and it must be an inseparable part of our being (Ghandi)." Non-violent protests have been a way of expressing the opinion of many different people for hundreds of years. Two of the individuals that made the idea of non-violent protest known to the world were Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Aung San Suu Kyi. King displayed forms of non-violence during the Civil Rights movement in the mid 1900’s, while Aung San Suu Kyi used politics and a belief in democracy to non-violently express her views during the on-going Burma crisis. These two non-violent leaders led their people to rise against the injustice they faced in similar yet different ways. While alike in many ways, Aung Sun Suu Kyi and King fought for their people with different use of politics, protest, and unavoidable action. Aung San Suu Kyi is a woman who dreamt of a democratic Burma and has fought for many years to free a people struggling under the lash of a militaristic government. Born as the daughter of General Aung San, the passion for improving her country was in her blood. Since the military-crackdown in 1962 that ended democratic rule in Burma, the Burmese people have been subjected to widespread human rights abuses. Aung San Suu Kyi fought against these abuses by means of political action. She would hold rallies and push for change but was put under house arrest for twenty years. She continued the fight even under the harsh rule and punishment.

Martin Luther King Jr. was born on January 15, 1929, in Atlanta, Georgia. He was a Baptist Minister and mostly known for being a social activist. King became more involved with the acts of direct action, more specifically non-violence, after the 1955 Montgomery Bus Boycott in Montgomery, Alabama. The protest led to removal of bus segregation and only showed how powerful and effective something of that caliber could be. He went on to orangize the

    The existing literature on crowd behaviour involves a variety of definitions, descriptions, views and explanations. Several of them will be addressed in this chapter to lay the groundwork for the definition, focus and aspects that are considered necessary to proceed in understanding crowd behaviour. Crowd behaviour is the behaviour that is conducted by individuals who gather in a crowd. However, what is exactly meant when talking about crowds and their behaviour? In everyday life, the word crowd is used to indicate a range of situations that involve an assembly of persons. For example a crowd at a festival, or a crowd on the internet to buy tickets for a concert. Usually, the context in which the word ’crowd’ is used indicates what type of group is meant in terms of size, duration, composition, motivation, cohesion and proximity of individuals. The crowd example in chapter 1 of the beach festival illustrates this meaning through context. Crowd behaviour at the festival is for instance clearly different from crowd behaviour in the shopping street (see the boxes 1-3 examples in chapter 1). In the shopping street the crowd consists of identifiable small groups, each pursuing their unique shopping goals, but all of them have the goal to shop. At the festival different groups can be identified. J* belongs to several of these groups. A small group of companions with whom J* came to the festival. But also a larger group in which J* and others are dancing in front of the stage. The dancers share the way of fulfilling their goal to enjoy music, while the shoppers differ in behaviour to fulfil their goal as they are not all heading for the same shop. The differences between the crowds are hard to catch in a definition as they are situation and time dependent what kind of group is dealt with. In the field of crowd research there is no consensus on the definition of a crowd. The definitions evolve around the concept of a gathering (Challenger, Clegg, &…
