Hello, I am looking for someone to write an article on The Debate on Civil Disobedience in Contemporary Times. It needs to be at least 1500 words. The open contradiction between the government and the people are considered signs of health. When people express their views freely against government policies, democratic ideals are realized. Protest actions such as street marches and rallies are means to force governments to institute reforms or to scrap unpopular policies. Oftentimes, these are met by the violent reaction from the state’s armed forces. In countries ruled by authoritarian regimes, popular opposition and its peaceful actions are often met with even worse violence. The latest examples of these are those that occurred in Iran in June 2009. The violent dispersal of protest actions participated by mostly university students resulted in deaths and injuries. The crackdown would have been made secret from the rest of the world had protesters not used the internet as a means of rallying international support. (Amnesty International)
