<span>C. Whenever people have the opportunity to dramatize their feelings, to point out an issue, to educate others and alert them and open their eyes, I think they should do those things.
One of the most important themes of Civil Disobedience is the idea that we have the responsibility as citizens to point out the immoral aspects of our society, even if they are enshrined in the political order and culture of our society.
