Civil Disobedience is a form of rebelling. Its when people don't follow the laws and don't pay fines. Now a days, people don't appreciate the rights they are given to them. In the 1960's people had to fight for there rights and freedom. The Civil Rights movement is the reason why we are all treated equally and have the rights that we have today. During these times, people had to fight for there freedom. They would protest, go crazy, not follow any rules, and refuse to pay taxes. This act is called Civil Disobedience. Because of this act, people had to suffer, they were sprayed with huge hoses to stop protesting. They had to go through a lot of pain for us to get the rights that we don't appreciate. The only reason they did this is for us to live in a more comfortable lifestyle. They performed this act to live a fairer life. This movement effects our lives today. We have a lot to appreciate for what the people did.
