Change+and+Revolution

**CHANGE AND REVOLUTION**

"Action from principle, the perception and the performance of right, changes things and relations; it is essentially revolutionary, and does not consist wholly with anything which was." (On the Duty of Civil Disobedience, pg. 16)


 * EVERYONE HAS THE POWER TO SPEAK WHAT THEY BELIEVE IN. SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS.**




 * Everyone has the ability to stand up for what they believe in and try to fight for an injustice which is occurring within society or politics. We have witnessed America's history of the civil rights protest, equal rights protests, and war protests. We have seen change occur and know that there is the possibility to create changes to end injustie. Throughout the year we have read novel by people who SAID SOMETHING. All the authors we read stood for an issue and with their books changed peoples ideas and perceptions on America. De Tocqueville stated that America was composed of many civil associations, and throughout the year I found this to be true. I began to notice the "associations" which I took part in daily like Student Government, Students for Social Responsibilty, etc. It is within these programs that I am able to expand myself and change my world. In the greater picture there are organizations which are trying to end homeless, fight poverty and injustice, and continue the fight for equal rights of minorities. Everyone has the opportunity to have their voice be heard, either start small or go big. It's your choice, your mind, and your call. It's your America, make it what you may. **
