Thoreau's Argument In Civil Disobedience
Thoreau’s primary argument in “Civil Disobedience” is that the government should be less involved in order to work at its best. He focuses on the idea that people shouldn’t be forced to fight for something they don’t believe in. For example, Thoreau talks about the armed forces and how soldiers are required to go to war, even if they don’t support the cause or think it’s right. Thoreau argues that people should have a say in what they want to support and have the ability to do what they think is right, even if that means not supporting the government. I believe Thoreau’s call to civil disobedience is the way to go. It’s the right thing to do because it’s a way for people to make their voices be heard without disturbing the peace.

Black Lives Matter movement demands to end police brutality against people of color, end discrimination and demand that candidates listen to them. They want to call attention to a crisis of injustice, and they want justice now. I agree with the Black Lives Matter movement and their demands. All they want is justice and to be treated fairly, just like everyone else. I believe their demands are pretty self explained and reasonable. Police brutality has increased, but only with people of color. Sure, many people may think it exists with every race, but the truth is only people of color get shot at for running away from a police officer. For instance, there was a case where two Caucasian men got caught up with what Donald Trump was saying about immigrants and decided to attack a Hispanic homeless man. Soon enough the police officers arrived at the incident and once they did both of the white males decided to attack the police officers, and the officers did nothing but arrest them. This comes to show that police brutality does occur but only with people of color because I am positive that if the two white males were men of color, they wouldn’t have made it to the jail cell alive. This also shows how much influence somebody running for office can have on the people. Which is why I believe that It’s a great idea to interrupt political campaigns. However, I do believe that
