Civil Disobedience

Obviously, disobeying is almost never the right thing to do, but if there was ever a way to disobey, civil disobedience is the best. If we had a perfect government that was ruled by the people, and everyone agreed about everything, it would not be necessary to disobey. Unfortunately, we, the people, do not rule. In order to get what we want, we have to fight for it, preferably in a non-violent (civil) way. It works better than fighting physically. Gandhi fought the laws with civil disobedience, and even though there were problems along the way, they one in the end. So, although people should not disobey at all, civil disobedience is often necessary.
