Argumentation #2

          Oscar Wilde, an Irish Author, offers some insight on his views on disobedience. Wilde implies that only through disobedience can progress be made "...through disobedience that progress has been made." The author also mentions that throughout history, disobedience is the honor of a man. In a more extensive form, Wilde is saying that disobedience is an effective tool used to make progress. Wilde wrote this insight in 1891 but the idea extends to present times.

          I cannot agree anymore with Oscar Wilde about disobedience. There was always a time period in history where the people did not agree with how the government was ran. And so through the act of disobedience then were the voices of the people heard. There were two types of disobedience: civil disobedience and uncivil disobedience. Figures like MLK Jr. and Rosa Parks performed civil disobedience and in time, they were remembered as heroes in our Nation's history. Uncivil disobedience worked back then but nowadays its not that effective. I say that uncivil disobedience worked back then because of the cause and effect of the French Revolution and the American Revolution. But the Ferguson incident sparked an anger within people and violence erupted, setting fire to a police car. That caught people's attention but did it do anything?
