After reading this article about student protests in Amsterdam, I see their need to fight for what they believe is wrong. If one feels like many people's rights are being compromised then you should stand up for what you believe is right. Only you can make your voice heard. No one else can voice your thoughts. Change begins with an individual. Hopefully if one sparks potential then there will be a chain reaction and you will gain supporters and others to help you fight for the common cause. The students want there to be an election since many jobs are at stake. They gaining attention through protests and may achieve their goal if they keep on. An individual is in complete control of their life, and if you feel that someone is in the way of that you should fight to keep your rights. By protesting, you are increasing awareness of a situation. And these protests are usually addressed somehow. It is important to practice non-violent protesting. Violence usually does not bring progress rather it divides groups and causes aggression. Martin Luther King, Jr. was able to bring awareness to struggles of African Americans by preaching non-violence. Although there was physical fighting the situation at that time was different and very controversial. When there are violent protests, these give flame to already burning hatred. Why not be peaceful rather than violent? There is no obvious benefit to violence. These students should continue to fight for their rights and disagreements they have.
