Civil Disobedience

What is civil disobedience? Have you ever done it? Can it change society?

Civil disobedience is the defiance towards the laws or insistence of a government that does not include physical violence. Although I have never tried or experience anything close to this, I do believe that it can change society. There are times when submission may not be the correct road to take, especially when it is for something you don't believe in. Society should be where the majority work together to keep harmony as well as a well-blended community with diverse beliefs and lifestyles. If one individual's beliefs are rejected, then he or she has the right to speak up, and fight for it. I feel that civil disobedience, when occurring for the right reason, can only positively affect society.
