Disobedience Against Injustice
Progression
Rebelling and disobeying has been a powerful weapon against injustice. we’ve all thought about doing at one point in our lives; people just function that way. If we witness something we don’t believe in, we will stand up against it. Oscar Wilde’s asserts that “the reason we've made progress was and is for the simple fact that the people have rebelled,”; the United States of America is a prime example of progressing through rebellion and disobedience. If it weren’t for rebellion or disobedience against English authority, we would’ve never become the independent nation we are today. Without a doubt, I’m in complete agreement with Wilde. Imagine if people to this day being forced to endure unjust government laws, or if women had little to no rights …. This was once the case , but it changed, through disobedience and rebellion, in order to create a more just United States. Although we may not be to this day have equal rights, this issue is improving and will until everyone is equal. Something as simple as speaking your mind is as an act of rebellion in if it were the past. In the history of our nation, the term “rebellion” became a source of events in the United States past. Nonetheless, society has evolved as a result of it. For instance, we gained our independence from England. They were unfair with their taxes, so we became our own nation by rebelling. Although gaining our freedom was difficult, the United States was insistent on gaining independence from England even if that meant fighting the greatest military of that time. Furthermore, disobedience played a gigantic part to the rescinding of slavery. The slaves, with the help of the North, rebelled against the South and gained their freedom. As a nation, we progressed, not as a result of slavery, since we believed it was morally wrong and working towards the goal of abolishing it. When Wilde stated that progress through rebellion , since we believed something is unjust, he was, in fact,
correct.
The definition of disobedience states, “a failure or refusal to obey rules or someone in authority.” As a society, we have improved; as people, we have free will. We can decide what is right and take action. In turn, this has led to disobedience, since people do not always agree with government decisions. There is a swarm of activists in our society that believe there needs to be a regulation or social change. To them they believe that they must fight for what they believe in, so they disobey the government by choosing to break their laws. To illustrate, women's rights and the LGBTQ Community and would be little to nothing if we had not disobeyed and fought for what we believed in. Wilde has proven to be correct , since social progression evolved through disobedience. In my opinion, all of Oscar Wilde’s claims on rebellion and disobedience are correct for without disobedience and rebellion we would not be where we are today. The LGBTQ Community would be unknown, women would have no equal rights, slavery would still be part of our society, and of requisite importance, our country would’ve never become an independent nation. The United States fought several wars, and faced thousands of conflicts against other nations to become what it is now. Because of this, we have the benefit of free will and the choice to pursue what we believe is right.
