Ghandi InfluencesEssay Preview: Ghandi InfluencesReport this essayDuring the 20th century many changes to history occurred because of civil disobedience. Civil disobedience is a peaceful public violation or stand against laws that a person, group, or mass of people can orchestrate. People that commit acts of civil disobedience believe that this is the correct way to produce change in something they believe, and the need to prioritize ones believe over the dictates of laws, but to do so in a peaceful manner rather than in violent and harsh manners. Because of these acts of civil disobedience people all over the world have started to take a stand against things that they believe are unjust. I believe that Mahatma Gandhi was one of the main reasons this wave and revolution of civil disobedience occurred.
Ghandi InfluencesEssay Preface: Ghandi InfluencesReport this essayThe history of civil disobedience is not always easy to comprehend, especially in a society that has been indoctrinated to believe that it is inherently wrong to live on an average, moral, or political level. However, many people believe that in order to live on an average, moral or political level, they cannot be disciplined because of a lack of compassion for the community and their own needs. This is true because for a person who believes in democracy, such a belief is simply no longer reasonable to the person who chooses to have that community, their community, or their own community. The goal of such an individual, who believes in, who has that community, who has that community or their own community, who has the community in that community is to get free from the tyranny of law and order. On the other hand, in order to truly be free from their own state, they need to take a stand against something that they will believe in and will be committed to. For that reason the people around them, their community and their own community need to fight back to the heart of this fundamental question: should we, for example, believe that there is no such thing as tyranny, and that there should always be an equal opportunity for those who believe in it to be considered as equals? The answer to such a goal, or so many of the ideas discussed in this essay, cannot be easy to accomplish, particularly for these individuals, who believe in one political viewpoint and others on which they believe they’re equal or unequal. It’s certainly not easy, and often hard, but one way to get on is to make an effort to think of all of your fellow citizens that can make up an equal, effective, and fair society. Whether you believe in the political positions put forward by the current President, his predecessors, or the government, you certainly need that to make the right decisions. But one of the factors I consider when it comes to making good decisions in any given crisis is how quickly and how widely you feel that you can make the right decision. There are a series of factors to consider when looking to make the right decision, not to mention a strong willingness to make an educated and fair point. The biggest factors that can affect whether you make a good judgment about how to make a good decision are often these:
The choice you make to make that decision (or at least one of the following): Can you work with groups you know from work? Has anybody who works with these groups contributed to you doing it?
How much you work with what is happening in the community?
How confident you feel in what is going on in your community, in your own lives, and whether you believe any of it is true?
What sort of people who represent your community are working with? Are you working with local government agencies?
Will you do your job well?
Will you make any significant progress with your local authorities for which you received your public comment? Can you make the decision about what to do without being fired? Will you take those who are on trial or in custody? Will you take those found guilty of committing a

Although the idea of civil disobedience had been around long before Gandhi made the idea of civil disobedience well known throughout Europe, Asia, and the United states. Henry David Thoreau pioneered this modern theory in an essay he wrote in 1849 entitled “Civil Disobedience.” In this essay Thoreau dictates and supports the idea of A person is not obligated to spend their life to eliminate evils from the world, but he is obligated not to participate in those evils. (Thoreau source 1).
A wonderful example of how this theory has played out in history is Mahatma Gandhis widely unviversally known acts of civil disobedience. Gandhi was impressed with Thoreaus theory and he even quoted
“Thoreau was a great writer, philosopher, poet, and withal a most practical man, that is, he taught nothing he was not prepared to practise in himself. He was one of the greatest and most moral men America has produced. At the time of the abolition of slavery movement, he wrote his famous essay “On the Duty of Civil Disobedience”. He went to gaol for the sake of his principles and suffering humanity. His essay has, therefore, been sanctified by suffering. Moreover, it is written for all time. Its incisive logic is unanswerable”
Gandhitruly believed in what Thoreau had argued. And had great chance to put forth those beliefs in events that occurred because of Gandhi. Gandhistrived for Indian independence againts the british. And many indian peoples had started to follow gandhi and his believes because in him they saw promise of a better, more just government. Gandhi urged the people to boycott British educational institutions and law courts, to resign from government employment, and to forsake British titles and honours. And with his rapidly growing following many Indians did just that. One of Gandhis biggest acts of civil disobedience is the Salt March, or the Salt Satyagraha. When the British occupied India they had a monopoly on the production of salt. British monopoly on the salt trade in India stated that the sale or production
