Carrie's Response

I think that civil disobedience is justified only when you are feeling that you rights are being threatened. There is a big difference between civil disobedience and rioting and one of the two (it's obvious which one,) hardly ever come out with a good result. When your parents are telling you to unload the dishwasher or a teacher is asking you to collect the homework, disobedience is not justified. They are not asking you to do something that will take much effort or strain. Now if your teachers tell you to do cart wheels all the way down the hall, you are justified to have disobedience because that is rediculous. I saw in the news over the summer about riots in a South American country as a result of the government canceling a radio program because of their censoring. They citizins when crazy with protests and I see this as justifiable becuase there is not much else for them to do. But I do not think the citizins will ever get the solution they are looking for.
