Have you ever wondered why people protest? For the past 150 years, New zealand has been a free country! It’s legal to protest about disagreements and movements that are important, not only in New zealand but in the entire world! Why would you protest?
What is a protest?
A protest can be defined as an object or complaint. There are many other ways to protest. Such as a; Hikoi, Petition, March, Meet and/or strike. A protest usually involves a large group of people meeting together to fight or have a massive conflict for a cause. Protests are known to make something better and to make it fair.
What causes a protest?
Usually protests are caused by disagreements and responses to an event. Protesters sometimes organize a public protest so their opinions could be heard! There are so many ways that cause protests. It could be a disagreement with the government's choices, it could be something the public doesn’t agree with and many more. I’ve learnt that many protests are about racism, different rights and disagreements with a statement. Let your opinions be heard!
Do protests actually work?
I’ve learnt that there’s a 50/50% chance that protests will work and won't. Opinions can be heard and can’t. Some make very big impacts on what they're protesting about, but if others are against it, it’s not certain it will work. If everyone is on the same track and if everyone is protesting for the same rights and cause then, you’ll know what happens next. It depends on the government's choices.
Protests have made very big impacts on other lives. We’ve been protesting for 150 years, and we’ll continue to protest for many more! :)
your work is so so cool
