Jules De Balincourt's Peaceful Protest

92 Words1 Page

French painter Jules De Balincourt has a way of balancing the biting with the blasé, fusing prismatic folk art with social commentary in a way that keeps both extremely palatable. His 2003 New York show Land of Many Uses consisted of 57 paintings in varying mediums that were aggressively political, but avoided being off-putting simply through the playful nature of their compositions, making contemplation of political themes—such as how we perceive the world through the way we draw our maps or the idea of "Peaceful Protest" as shown above—an easy, intellectual

  • Chavez's Argument About Nonviolence Resistance

    426 Words  | 2 Pages

    What literary devices did Chavez really use for his argument about nonviolence resistance? Although Chavez uses a variety of literary terms, he uses Logos, the appeal to logic and senses, and aphorism, which is a belief that expresses a truth or principle of life. Chavez uses Logos to bring his point that violent protests not only take away or injure innocent people, but actually may end up hurting your cause in general as it can lower “morale” in those who do support your cause. It can also make those who wish to support your cause not to due to your idea’s violent reactions to your opposition and what they stand for. “If we resort to violence then one of two things will happen: either the violence will be escalated and there will be many

  • Modern Day Protests Of Thomas Jefferson

    239 Words  | 1 Pages

    Thomas Jefferson’s perspective (on modern day issues) Thomas Jefferson would support modern day protests like one of the more recent ones against racism in Baltimore, Maryland. He would support these protests because he says in the declaration of Independence “all men are created equal….life, liberty and the pursuit of Happiness” and if they are unhappy or dislike anything that the government puts out they should have the right to “overthrow abusive governments.” These pieces of evidence show that Jefferson would believe that something was making the people upset and if no one would fix it they would have to try and fix it themselves by making it more known and noticeable. Also, in Jefferson’s letter about Shay’s rebellion he states, “the

  • Tension In Civil Disobedience

    916 Words  | 4 Pages

    The relationship between a government and its citizens must maintain the perfect balance between giving and taking. The relationship consists of constant checks and balances; however, it normally goes awry because either the disobedience is ineffective, or the authority is tyrannical. Typically, the relationship between a government and its citizens holds tension. The tension in the relationship stems from poor communication. Citizens communicate their grievances to the government through disobedience; therefore, the government communicates back by reestablishing order.

  • Response To Civil Disobedience

    734 Words  | 3 Pages

    Civil Disobedience is a term that is held in a very stereotypical manner. When I think of the term, I think of a peaceful protest that eventually will solve the everlasting issue of governmental control regarding the people's lives. This term to me insinuates that no matter how terrible the situation at hand can be, individuals in any community like setting can ultimately be the bigger person and do no harm to anyone or anything while demoralizing a law. However in current situations, my assumption of the term has unfortunately taken a turn for the worse. Though this may be the case, I still continue to proclaim that civil disobedience sheds a positive light on communal views and how a society should handle an issue.

  • On Civil Disobedience

    799 Words  | 4 Pages

    Civil Disobedience is an important moral responsibility of a citizen, however it should not get to the level of illegal activity under any circumstances, because great reform can be brought peacefully not violently. In the title named "On Civil Disobedience" by Mohandas K. Ghandi once said: “No country has ever become or will ever become, happy though victory in war”(Mohandas K. Gandhi , 148). Even that long ago, when war was at high, and people embraced it, he knew that the only thing war brought was death, and depression among civilians. This method of civil disobedience has only resulted into more wars, and no real solutions. The most efficient way to the be civilly disobedient is to be peaceful, but willing to stand up for your cause.

  • Summary: The Case Against Civil Disobedience

    1290 Words  | 6 Pages

    People's justification to engage in civil disobedience rests on the unresponsiveness that their engagement to oppose an unjust law receives. People who yearn for a change in a policy might sometimes find themselves in a dead end because their “attempts to have the laws repealed have been ignored and legal protests and demonstrations have had no success” (Rawls 373). What Rawls says is that civil disobedience is a last option to oppose an unjust law; therefore, providing civil disobedients with a justification for their cause. Civil disobedience is the spark of light that people encountered at the dead end and they hope that this spark of light will illuminate to show that an unjust law should not exist at all. Martin Luther King, Jr, in his “Letter from
