Civil Disobedience

      Civil Disobedience is the refusal to comply with certain laws.There are many things that are considered "disobedient" for example hitting someone, but sometimes it is necessary for your own protection. In the United States not paying taxes can also be considered civil disobedience. Another example of Civil Disobedience was when Martin Luther King Protested for his rights.
   In that time black people did not have the right to open there mouth but he did. Eventually it did change everything that is now but before it was wrong.
     I think the Occupy wall street is an example of Civil Disobedience. At first it was for the right reasons but now many people are just doing it for other reasons that are not right.
St. Augustine was right that Unjust law in no law at all, because if people do not believe it is right they will go against it.
