Peaceful Protest Theory

Peaceful Protest Theory posits that nonviolent methods of demonstration—such as marches, sit-ins, or silent vigils—can effectively advocate for social change and influence public opinion. This approach is based on the idea that peaceful actions attract broader support, create moral authority, and highlight injustices without resorting to violence. Historically, figures like Martin Luther King Jr. and Mahatma Gandhi exemplified this theory, showing that love and composure in the face of oppression can foster dialogue, raise awareness, and ultimately lead to significant political and social reform.
