I believe that peaceful civil disobedience is beneficial to society. The main reason I believe this is because it brings issues to light that the public would not have known about otherwise. It makes headlines‚ and if it is truly an issue worth changing then the public will make their opinion known and‚ if things work out‚ the underlying issue will be solved. The downside being that the civil disobedience may have harmed business or government briefly by breaking the law. I think that the trade off

Peaceful resistance to laws positively impacts a free society. In our world‚ civil disobedience is important in showing mass beliefs of all people. If any person doesn’t agree with a law‚ they should have the right to peacefully resist the law as long as they accept the consequences.

Also I think World War II could’ve have been prevented by keeping peace between each country and stopping Hitler before he got to powerful. If the Allied powers have taken action it might have prevented the outbreak of World War II. For example: * If the US sent troops into
