Civil Disobedience

Thoreau justifies civil disobedience by nit paying taxes because he does not support the war. He thinks war only kills many people without solving problems therefore he wont pay taxes which goes towards supporting the war materials and resources. He uses principles of Transcendentalists because just like Transcendentalists he believes that one should follow his own heat and leave a trail for others to follow instead of following someone else path or road. He also believes that one should do what they think its right instead of following someone else opinions. They should always give their opinion and stick to it. He also used the principles of nonviolence. I have learned about many protest of civil disobedience through out history. for example the famous Rosa Park who set in the front of the bus even tho she was suppose to sit in the back because she was african american. This shows civil disobedience because she was doing what she thought it was right instead of someone else thoughts. She also did not break any law or commit any fraud She was just supporting what she believed in. The another example is Mahatma Gandhi who also used nonviolence and civil disobedience to support the protest and gather many people to do the same. He also has been to jail like Thoreau for believing in what he thought was right. Civil Disobedience is the way because it does not harm or kill anyone. It is also peaceful way of protest but there are chances of you being in a big trouble or might have to go to prison like Gandhi and Thoreau. Civil Rights must be inspired because it gave them a strong reason and a great principle to fight for. Such as fight for what you believe in. Therefore, many people are affected by this text.
I am passionate about destroying or eliminating racism and class issues. I know this sounds very undoable or impossible but we can always dream and make it possible, I think if racism was destroyed than we would have less problems in this society. We would all be friendly to each other and actually act like human beings instead of not treating someone right just because they have different skin color. I  treat everybody same no matter what color, race, ethnicity or country they are. I am sure we will be able to eliminate racism if all thought that.
