             Sometimes, they make laws that we cannot agree on, because we think it's unfair. Civil disobedience exists when these high people make rules that does not even make sense or again, something that we cannot agree on. I went to this website: http://www.forusa.org/blogs/mark-johnson/wristy-buisness-civildisobedience-elimate-change/11937. It contains the article is part of fellowship of Conciliation website. When I was looking at this main website, I saw the title, "Working for peace, justice and nonviolence since 1945". The support peace, and nonviolence. Also, they define an organization, "as an inter faith organization, FOR-USA's mission is to organize, train, and grew diverse movement that welcomes all people of conscience to end structures of violence and war, and create peace through the transformative power of nonviolence." The article is about three sociologists, an economist. Two Rabbis and a Unitarian talking about Carbon caps and carbon taxes, distributive justice, no-growth economic models, the enviromental consequences of war, the state of the Movement, faith-based organizing, and monkey-wrenching. The public opinion is increasingly aligned with scientific concerns about initiative to focus public like politicians and religious leaders underlying moral issues has been slow to emerge. It shows the seriousness of perception of people. It was interesting how Mark Johnson (the author of the article) went to the front line to see what's actually going on and get it arrested.

             The article called "Philly Mom of Two Arrested in Act of Civil Disobedience at White House." at URL: http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/greenliving/Philly-mom-of-two-arrested-in-civil-disobedience-act-at-white-house.html by Sandy Bavers. Philly.com website deals serious issues like civil wars, protest, the environment, laborers, food, and health. It also seems to focus on beneficial information to people. Anyways, the article is about Eileen Flanagan getting arrested outside the White House for doing civil disobedience. She paid hundred dollar fine to be released and she considered that the money is well spent. Then, she promised that she will be back in D.L. along with several hundred others from the region and perhaps 20,000 to 25,000 overall to demonstrate against the pipeline and for action on climate hinge. It's really sad that people fight for their lives to change, having a little piece of hope that they can do it. Why does Civil Disobedience exist? People make decisions that we don't appreciate so we will rage against them. Sometimes, they make silly laws that I don't even know why they made a statement like that. If they make laws that we can agree on, they never had to face this rage and riots to mess up everything. I sometimes think the ones who make laws don't have common sense.

             The biggest Civil Disobedience was black rights. Martin Luther King, who was the first step to gain the black equal rights that changed the world for African Americans by his speech. People from the South and KKK never appreciated his as expected. They fear that African Americans will gain power, and won't be able to control them as they want to so they all act violence against them. Surprisingly enough, they never arrested the white men who oppose the black equal rights. However, when African Americans fight them back, the police beat them up, shoot them, and arrest them. So, the “King courageous commitment to nonviolence and passive resistance captured the attention and respect of the nation”(246). This means that the Martin Luther takes the speech that African American don’t need to take the violence to achieve their rights. Even now, African Americans don’t have equal rights as much as white people do and there are still racism around the country.

             I wish that high people have much more common sense and should really think wisely about making laws which civil disobedience should never happen.
