Civil Disobedience is wrong.

Argue the validity of the statement. Remember to use reason and logic, not strong emotion.






Civil disobedience is wrong most of the time, but there are few times when it is necessary to acheive a better goal, something that is more about the big picture of life. Great examples are, of course, Gahndi and the Civil Rights leaders of the sixties, who created a more peaceful world around them by not relying on violence to get their points across. Civil disobedience is also much less destructive to resolve and it usually ends up better for everyone. There are far more cases where civil disobedience is a bad thing, like people breaking laws.
