Social Protest

Social protest refers to collective actions taken by individuals or groups to express discontent with societal issues, particularly injustices or unfair practices. It often involves civil disobedience, where participants intentionally break certain laws to highlight their cause, advocate for change, or draw attention to their grievances. This form of protest seeks to challenge the status quo peacefully, aiming to inspire dialogue and reform. Historical examples include movements for civil rights, environmental justice, and labor rights, demonstrating how organized dissent can influence public opinion and policymaking.
