Civil Disobedience :: essays research papers
Civil Disobedience, Whereââ¬â¢s The Line Drawn? à à à à à à à à à à In order to properly characterize and understand all aspects of civil disobedience we must look at where the line of disobedience stands and who crosses it. This country was founded on the idea of democracy. Our proud and dedicated fore fathers of the Constitution created this nation on a basis of morality and true freedom. Unfortunately, this dream has been contorted. Twisted to fit the ever growing greed and power thirsty idealisms of the powerful and wealthy politician. Our country has been raped of itââ¬â¢s true seed that it started from. à à à à à I believe that this countryââ¬â¢s main problem is that itââ¬â¢s run by a majority of white males, and of these men, not many younger than their forties. Whereââ¬â¢s our equal representation of every populous? These people have lost touch with what they call, their number one resource, itââ¬â¢s youth. Yes, they were all young at one time as well, but times rapidly change. These quick changes can easily cause confusion among our leaders, and this results in poor decisions based on lack of current knowledge and direct involvement. Unfortunately, these people donââ¬â¢t understand what todayââ¬â¢s youth goes through, and whoââ¬â¢s there to represent my population? The legal voting age in this country is eighteen à à à à à à à à à à à à à à à à à à à à à à à à à à à à à à 1 years old, a population that has already been thrown into the busy world of work and many of whom have already lost the essence of their youth. We need a change, a new policy of understanding. à à à à à The line of civil disobedience is drawn by our nationââ¬â¢s leaders and itââ¬â¢s their line and they mark it. The lineââ¬â¢s they make are the illusions they see, they donââ¬â¢t look at the whole picture, our nation has a severe case of tunnel vision. Truthfully, laws are passed to protect our ââ¬Å"Christianâ⬠morality, and notable standing among the Earthââ¬â¢s other great powers. It seems Americaââ¬â¢s main concern is how we project ourselves to others, and what we can get out of it. In this movement and idea, the young are lost in itââ¬â¢s deep cracks of political separation. à à à à à Our nation needs a voice, a voice of youth and honesty. Over half of our nation is comprised of young adults, but we have no say in how our lives are run. What may be small and seemingly harmless to a youth, may land him in jail for a few years. Policies on things such as drugs are very harsh on todayââ¬â¢s children, but the real question is, is who is the punishment benefiting?
