#3 - Civil disobedience is defined as the willful but nonviolent breach of unjust laws. How might this be applied in today’s political climate
Civil disobedience in today's political climate can take form in many ways. Here are some of the methods of late that come to mind. I think of the #blacklivesmatter "die ins". Also, many recently engaged in civil disobedience regarding the Keystone XL pipeline:http://www.dailykos.com/story/2014/03/03/1281795/-The-398-arrests-for-civil-disobedience-in-Sunday-s-anti-Keystone-XL-protest-are-just-the-beginning#. Also I think of the demands of fast-food workers for higher wages elicited some arrests as they obstructed roadways or blocked traffic. http://www.usatoday.com/picture-gallery/news/nation/2014/09/04/fast-food-workers-demand-higher-wages/15060063/
