Civil disobedience is a type of protest in which a person engages in order to address a social injustice. People who protest in this way refuse to follow the laws of the government, usually because they believe these laws to be unfair. Some examples include the civil rights movement in America and the movement for independence in India.

Civil disobedience can help peacefully solve a social injustice in two main ways. The first one is by making the government and society unable to function properly. This was the case in India, where Ghandi encouraged boycotts to English companies. This put enormous pressure on the colonial government, which greatly struggled to fulfill its duties. Eventually, they realize it would be more convenient for them to grant India its independence.

The second way is by bringing attention to an issue. In the civil rights movement, Black Americans were able to find a voice they had not had before. In this way, they were able to explain their experiences and the hardship they had faced, motivating social change.

We can conclude that it has been proven throughout history that civil disobedience is an effective way to solve social injustices.

Civil disobedience is a form of activism. It is when a citizen declares his refusal to adhere to certain commands of the government. It is a non-violent, peaceful demonstration of citizens usually against social injustices. It includes marches, strikes, protests and blockades. Its mission is to raise awareness about certain issues in the community and inspire others to join in a cause. It is often done well-timed, when there is an opportunity to be seen/ heard (e.g. elections, court hearings, conferences etc).

This is how civil disobedience influence legislation or government policy:

1.  The Government, which is created by the people, for the people, is bound to listen especially when the majority display civil disobedience. It is obliged to focus its attention on the dilemma--social injustice. The laws now can be modified by the Government officials to serve the people, not the other way around.

2. In politics, personalities in Government often betoken themselves with certain values. During election, the citizens tend to appoint those who sympathize with their concerns. A community who is keen on fighting social injustice, will choose to put politicians who also believe in the same movement to represent them and initiate the fight against social injustice in the administration.
