When is civil disobedience necessary? Write at least TWO – THREE paragraphs. In your introduction, state whether, in some cases, you believe civil disobedience may be necessary, and what you believe the role (and the responsibility) of the citizen might be in society. In at least one body paragraph, give a clear example. You may want to consider the question of just and unjust laws, or the tyranny of the majority. Consider examples of inequality, violence, and the importance of social justice for all people. You may refer to personal experience, current events, historical examples, and/or to the Thoreau essay “Resistance to Civil Government,” the Michael Moore chapter “Idiot Nation,”or to the Martin Luther King, Jr. interview clip on “Just vs Unjust Laws” on Meet the Press https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBkgdGIBv00https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBkgdGIBv00
